ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is proposing to renew an information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
January 2, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on the information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to Ms. Charlene Toledo, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office 
of Trust Services, Division of Probate Services, 2600 N Central Ave., 
STE MS 102, Phoenix, AZ 85004; or email to [email protected]. 
Please reference OMB Control Number 1076-0168 in the subject line of 
your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Ms. Charlene Toledo by telephone at (505) 563-
3371.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, 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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    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: As sovereignties, federally recognized tribes have the 
right to establish their own probate codes. When those probate codes 
govern the descent and distribution of trust or restricted property, 
they must be approved by the Secretary of the Department of the 
Interior. The American Indian Probate Reform Act of 2004 (AIPRA) 
amendments to the Indian Land Consolidation Act, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et 
seq., provides that any tribal probate code, any amendment to a tribal 
probate code, and any free-standing single heir rule are subject to the 
approval of the Secretary if they contain provisions governing trust 
lands. This statute also establishes the basic review and approval of 
tribal probate codes. This information collection covers tribes' 
submission of tribal probate codes, amendments, and free-standing 
single heir rules containing provisions regarding trust lands to the 
Secretary for approval. Submission of information is required to comply 
with ILCA, as amended by AIPRA, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et seq., which provides 
that Indian tribes must obtain Secretarial approval for all tribal 
probate codes, amendments, and free-standing single heir rules that 
govern the descent and distribution of trust or restricted lands.
    Title of Collection: Tribal Probate Codes.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0168.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Indian tribes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 10 on average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 10 on average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 20 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: A response is required to obtain a 
benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: One per respondent, on occasion.

[[Page 50892]]

    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.).

Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs and Collaborative Action--Indian 
Affairs.
