SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand our information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 BIA is seeking renewal of the approval for the
information collection conducted under 25 CFR 23.13, implementing the
Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.). The information
collection allows BIA to receive written requests by State courts that
appoint counsel for an indigent Indian parent or Indian custodian in an
involuntary Indian child custody proceeding when appointment of counsel
is not authorized by State law. The applicable BIA Regional Director
uses this information to decide whether to certify that the client in
the notice is eligible to have his/her counsel compensated by the BIA
in accordance with the Indian Child Welfare Act.
Title of Collection: Payment for Appointed Counsel in Involuntary
Indian Child Custody Proceedings in State Courts.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0111.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State courts.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: Two (2) per year.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: Two (2) per year.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Two (2) hours for reporting
and one (1) for recordkeeping.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: Six (6) hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain a benefit.

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Steven Mullen,
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Office of Regulatory Affairs
