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.

will be able to do so.
    Abstract: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is seeking renewal of 
the approval for the information collection conducted under 25 CFR 
11.600(c) and 11.606(c). This information collection allows the Clerk 
of the Court of Indian Offenses to collect personal information 
necessary for a Court of Indian Offenses to issue a marriage license or 
dissolve a marriage. Courts of Indian Offenses have been established on 
certain Indian reservations under the authority vested in the Secretary 
of the Interior by 5 U.S.C. 301 and 25 U.S.C. 2, 9, and 13, which 
authorize appropriations for ``Indian judges.'' The courts provide for 
the administration of justice for Indian tribes in those areas where 
the tribes retain jurisdiction over Indians, exclusive of State 
jurisdiction, but where tribal courts have not been established to 
exercise that jurisdiction and the tribes has, by resolution or 
constitutional amendment, chosen to use the Court of Indian Offenses. 
Accordingly, Courts of Indian Offenses exercise jurisdiction under 25 
CFR 11. Domestic relations are governed by 25 CFR 11.600, which 
authorizes the Court of Indian Offenses to conduct and dissolve 
marriages.
    In order to obtain a marriage licenses in a Court of Indian 
Offenses, applicants must provide the six items of information listed 
in 25 CFR 11.600(c), including identifying information, such a Social 
Security number, information on previous marriage, relationship to the 
other applicant, and a certificate of the results of any medical 
examination required by applicable tribal ordinances or the laws of the 
State in which the Indian country under the jurisdiction of the Court 
of Indian Offenses is located. To dissolve a marriage, applicants must 
provide the six items of information listed in 25 CFR 11.606(c), 
including information on occupation and residency (to establish 
jurisdiction), information on whether the parties have lives apart for 
at least 180 days or if there is serious marital discord warranting 
dissolution, and information on the children of the marriage and 
whether the wife is pregnant (for the court to determine the 
appropriate level of support that may be required from the non-
custodial parent). (25 CFR 11.601) Two forms are used as part of this 
information collection, the Marriage License Application and the 
Dissolution of Marriage Application.
    Title of Collection: Law and Order on Indian Reservations--Marriage 
& Dissolution Applications.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0094.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 260 per year, on 
average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 260 per year, on 
average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 65 hours.

[[Page 25040]]

    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

currently valid OMB control number.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
