SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Affairs 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 tribe has, by resolution or
constitutional amendment, chosen to
use the Court of Indian Offenses.
Accordingly, Courts of Indian Offenses
exercise jurisdiction under 25 CFR part
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 license 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 as 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 lived 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.
BIA published a notice on September
14, 2011, in the Federal Register
seeking comment for 60 days on
renewal of this information collection,
