Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Program changes resulted in the deletion of an information collection requirement for Respondent Tribes that already had proposed roads in the NTTFI as of November 7, 2016. Those Tribes no longer have to provide the information set out in § 170.443 for their roads to remain on the inventory. BIA estimates that only Tribes will add (or significantly change proposed roads already in the NTTFI to trigger the requirement to provide the additional information) only proposed roads to the NTTFI. This decreases the number of responses for that specific information collection requirement from 141 to 15, and the annual burden hours from 2,820 to 300. This results in an overall decrease in the number of responses of 126 (from 1,630 to 1,504) and an overall decrease in the number of burden hours of 2,520 (from 23,448 to 20,928).
