Paperwork Burden for Trust Land Mortgages

If you (or a tribal government) want to mortgage trust land for a home or development under 25 U.S.C. 5135 and 25 CFR 152.34, you must submit mortgage documents to the BIA and meet the existing checklist requirements. The collection is required to obtain the mortgage benefit, takes about 20–40 hours per response, occurs annually, and totals an estimated 3,840 burden hours across 131 responses each year.

This keeps current paperwork, hours, and costs the same: 56 estimated annual respondents, 131 annual responses, 20–40 hours per response, 3,840 total annual burden hours, and $0 estimated annual nonhour cost.
