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), we
provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an
opportunity 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.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 21, 2024 (89 FR 52076). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not 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. 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 to renew the information collection
conducted under 25 CFR part 13, ``Tribal Reassumption of Jurisdiction
over Child Custody Proceedings.'' Part 13 prescribes procedures by
which a federally recognized Tribe that occupies Tribal lands over
which a State asserts any jurisdiction pursuant to Federal law may
reassume jurisdiction over Indian child proceedings as authorized by
the Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1918). Any federally recognized
Tribe that became subject to State jurisdiction
[[Page 20189]]
pursuant to the provisions of the Act of August 15, 1953 (18 U.S.C.
1162), or pursuant to any other Federal law, may reassume jurisdiction
over child custody proceedings.
The collection of information provides data that will be used in
considering the petition and feasibility of the plan of the Tribe for
reassumption of jurisdiction over Indian child custody proceedings. We
collect the following information: Full name, address, and telephone
number of petitioning Tribe or Tribes; a Tribal resolution; estimated
total number of members in the petitioning Tribe or Tribes with an
explanation of how the number was estimated; current criteria for
Tribal membership; citation to provision in Tribal constitution
authorizing the Tribal governing body to exercise jurisdiction over
Indian child custody matters; description of Tribal court; copy of any
Tribal ordinances or Tribal court rules establishing procedures or
rules for exercise of jurisdiction over child custody matters; and all
other information required by 25 CFR 13.11.
Title of Collection: Tribal Reassumption of Jurisdiction over Child
Custody Proceedings, 25 CFR part 13.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0112.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Federally recognized Tribes who submit
Tribal reassumption petitions for review and approval by the Secretary
of the Interior.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 1.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 8 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 8 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.

Authority
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.).
Scott J. Davis,
