Short Statement: During the past three years, BIA has determined that the number of respondents varies from 10 to 281 tribes, and has therefore estimated the number of respondents per information collection based on past experience. These revised estimates result in a total of 1,409 responses which is a decrease from the last approved estimate of 5,620. Also during the past three years, BIA has instituted an automated process for updating the inventory that has greatly reduced the number of burden hours. Prior to the automated system, referred to as the Road Inventory Field Data System (RIFDS), BIA received almost all updated requests in paper format, which took significantly longer. Overall, the BIA has reduced the burden hours from 191,496 to 19,628.
