Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
The 1,500 decrease in the number of responses is due to adjustments in the agency estimate in the number of respondents to reflect that there were an average of 377 funded ICWA Tribes for FY/CY 2019 and 2020. We anticipate all 377 of those Tribes will provide Part A of the form and approximately 188 of those 377 will provide Part B of the form. This total of 565 respondents therefore replaces the 2017 estimate of 940. Respondents report quarterly, so the 375 decrease in respondents results in a fourfold decrease of responses. The 190 hour increase in burden hours is a result of a program change due to agency discretion to make changes to the forms to make them more clear, add data fields, and add instructions, which will require additional time to read, but will improve clarity overall and decrease the amount of technical assistance BIA staff will need to provide.
