public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of

--Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Office of Tribal 
Justice, including whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.

Braswell, Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of
