the following four points:
--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Office of Tribal

--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
--Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected can be enhanced; and
--Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Overview of This Information Collection
1. Type of Information Collection: Extension of a currently
approved collection.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection: Request to the Attorney
General for Assumption of Concurrent Federal Criminal Jurisdiction.
3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of
the Department sponsoring the collection: No form. The applicable
component within the Department of Justice is the Office of Tribal
Justice.
4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: The Department of Justice published a rule to
establish the procedures for an Indian tribe whose Indian country is
subject to State criminal jurisdiction under Public Law 280 (18 U.S.C.
1162(a)) to request that the United States accept concurrent criminal
jurisdiction within the tribe's Indian country, and for the Attorney
General to decide whether to consent to such a request. The purpose of
the collection is to provide information from the requesting tribe
sufficient for the Attorney General to make a decision whether to
consent to the request.
6. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond: Fewer than 350
respondents; 80 hours.
5. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There are an estimated maximum 28,000 annual total
burden hours associated with this collection (up to 350 respondents x
80 hours = 28,000 hours). Fewer than 350 Indian tribes are eligible for
the assumption of concurrent criminal jurisdiction by the United
States. The Department of Justice does not know how many eligible
tribes will, in fact, make such a request. The information collection
will require Indian tribes seeking assumption of concurrent criminal
jurisdiction by the United States to provide certain information
relating to public safety within the Indian country of the tribe.
