custodian in an involuntary Indian
child custody proceeding when
appointment of counsel is not
authorized by State law. The cognizant
BIA Regional Director uses this
information to decide whether to certify
that the client in the notice is eligible to
have his counsel compensated by the
Bureau in accordance with the Indian
Child Welfare Act. No third party
notification or public disclosure burden
is associated with this collection. The
BIA has adjusted its estimate of burden
hours to account for more than one
respondent per year and to better define
the recordkeeping and reporting
burdens associated with this collection.
BIA published a notice in the Federal
Register on October 30, 2009 (74 FR
56208) requesting public comments on
the proposed information collection.
The comment period ended December
29, 2009. No comments were received.
II. Method of Collection
The following information is collected
from State courts in order to allow for
payment of appointed counsel in
involuntary Indian child custody
proceedings. The information collection
is submitted to obtain or retain a benefit;
i.e., payment for appointed counsel. The
information collected is used by the
respective Bureau Regional Director to
determine:
(a) If an individual Indian involved in
an Indian child custody proceeding is
eligible for payment of appointed
counsel’s attorney fees;
(b) If any State statutes provide for
coverage of attorney fees under these
circumstances;
(c) The State standards for payment of
attorney fees in juvenile delinquency
proceedings; and,
(d) The name of the attorney, and his
actual voucher certified by the court for
the work completed on a pre-approved
case. This information is required for
payment of appointed counsel as
authorized by Public Law 95–608.

need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number.
OMB has up to 60 days to make a
decision on the submission for renewal,
but may make the decision after 30
days. Therefore, to receive the best
