As sovereignties, federally recognized

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. This statute also establishes
the basics of review and approval of
tribal probate codes. This information
collection covers tribes’ submission of
tribal probate codes, amendments, and
free-standing single heir rules to the
Secretary for approval. We are adjusting
the estimated number of respondents
down to 10, based on the number of
submissions received per year since
AIPRA was passed.
The BIA requests that you send your
comments on this collection to the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
Your comments should address: (a) The
necessity of the information collection
for the proper performance of the
agencies, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the
burden (hours and cost) of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) ways we could enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. Approval for this
collection expires November 30, 2011.
Response to the information collection
is required to obtain a benefit.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section
during the hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m.,
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday
except for legal holidays. Before
including your address, phone number,
e-mail address or other personally
identifiable information, be advised that
your entire comment—including your
personally identifiable information—
may be made public at any time. While
you may request that we withhold your
personally identifiable information, we
