This ICR covers information collection requirements associated with Secretarial approval and monitoring of oil and gas leasing on Osage reservation lands.
Statute at Large:
34 Stat. 543
Name of Statute: Act for division of lands and funds of Osage Indians in Oklahoma territory, and for other purposes.
On May 11, 2015, BIA published a final rule to amend the regulations at 25 CFR 226. As part of this final rule, new information collections were approved for use by OMB. Due to litigation, the 2015 final rule never went into effect. Accordingly, the information collections that were approved by OMB in the 2015 final rule were never implemented. However, on June 17, 2016, the BIA issued a direct final rule amending the CFR to reinstate the version of the rule that was in effect prior to the 2015 final rule. BIA is now seeking OMB approval for information collections that are part of the current regulations at 25 CFR 226. Seventeen of these information collections were not previously approved by OMB and have been in use without OMB approval. Seven of the information collections were approved by OMB under the 2015 regulations, but subsequently have been collected on instruments that were not previously approved for use. These seven instruments have been in use without OMB approval.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
