Tribal Funds From Trust Status

AGENCY: Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST), we are 
proposing to renew an information collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
January 25, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to the Jeffrey M. Parrillo, Departmental Information 
Collection Clearance Officer, Department of the Interior, Office of the 
Secretary, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Planning and 
Performance Management Division, 1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 
20240; or by email to [email protected]. Please reference 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 1035-0003 in the 
subject line of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact John Montel by email to 
[email protected], or by telephone at (202) 208-3939.

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

[[Page 60445]]

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 OST; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the OST enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the OST 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: This notice is for renewal of information collection 
under OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 that implement the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. These regulations require 
interested members of the public and affected agencies have an 
opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping 
activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d)). This notice identifies an 
information collection activity that the OST is submitting to OMB for 
renewal.
    Public Law 103-412, The American Indian Trust Fund Management 
Reform Act of 1994, allows Indian tribes on a voluntary basis to take 
their funds out of trust status within the Department of the Interior 
(and the Federal Government) in order to manage such funds on their 
own. 25 CFR part 1200, subpart B, Sec. 1200.13, ``How does a tribe 
apply to withdraw funds?'' describes the requirements for application 
for withdrawal. The Act covers all tribal trust funds including 
judgment funds as well as some settlements funds, but excludes funds 
held in Individual Indian Money accounts. Both the Act and the 
regulations state that upon withdrawal of the funds, the Department of 
the Interior (and the Federal Government) have no further liability for 
such funds. Accompanying their application for withdrawal of trust 
funds, tribes are required to submit a Management Plan for managing the 
funds being withdrawn, to protect the funds once they are out of trust 
status.
    This information collection allows the OST to collect the tribes' 
applications for withdrawal of funds held in trust by the Department of 
the Interior. If OST did not collect this information, the OST would 
not be able to comply with the American Indian Trust Fund Management 
Reform Act of 1994, and tribes would not be able to withdraw funds held 
for them in trust by the Department of the Interior.
    Title of Collection: Application to Withdraw Tribal Funds from 
Trust Status, 25 CFR 1200.
    OMB Control Number: 1035-0003.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Tribal governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: One respondent, on 
average, every three years.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 1.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 750 hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 750.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per tribe per trust fund withdrawal 
application.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: None.
    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.).

Principal Deputy Special Trustee, Office of the Special Trustee for 
American Indians.
