Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. *Abstract:* The Bureau of Indian Affairs

The applicant must fill out an application for a permit to get a reindeer for any purpose, and is required to report on the status of reindeer annually or when a change occurs, including changes prior to the date of the annual report. This information collection utilizes four forms. A response is required to obtain and/or retain a benefit. *Title of Collection:* Reindeer in Alaska. *OMB Control Number:* 1076-0047. *Form Number:* None. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents/Affected Public:* Non-Indians who wish to possess Alaskan reindeer. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:* 4 per year, on average (1 respondent for the Sale Permit for Alaska Reindeer, 1 respondent for the Sale Report Form for Alaska Reindeer, 1 respondent for the Special Use Permit for Alaskan Reindeer, and 1 respondent for the Special Use Reindeer Report). *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 4. *Estimated Completion Time per Response:* 5 minutes for the Sale Permit and Report forms; and 10 minutes for the Special Use Permit and Report forms, on average. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 30 minutes. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to Obtain a Benefit. *Frequency of Collection:* Once a year, on average. *Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost:* None.
