with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and

format.

proper functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
how might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.

will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The regulations at 25 CFR 170, Tribal Transportation 
Program (TTP), implement 23 U.S.C. 202(d), the Safe, Accountable, 
Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users 
(SAFETEA-LU), which has been amended by Moving Ahead for Progress in 
the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) and the Fixing America's Surface 
Transportation Act (FAST). This information collection is necessary to 
implement the requirements of the law for allocating funding provided 
from the highway trust fund to Indian tribal governments. The BIA uses 
the information provided through information collection requirements to 
determine how funds appropriated by Congress under the statutes will be 
allocated to various Tribal governments for implementing the Tribal 
Transportation Program. BIA also uses the information to assist Tribal 
governments in meeting reporting requirements for their participation 
in the TTP program.
