SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
The Secretary of the Interior probates
the estates of individual Indians owning
trust or restricted property in
accordance with 25 U.S.C. 372–373. In
order to compile the probate file, the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) must
obtain information regarding the
deceased from individuals and the tribe.
This request for renewal makes
adjustments to reflect the accurate
number of respondents. As a result, the
estimated burden hours has increased
from 1,037,493 to 1,037,513 hours. No
other changes were made to the
information collection.
II. Request for Comments
On October 28, 2014, the BIA
published a notice announcing the
renewal of this information collection
and provided a 60-day comment period
in the Federal Register (79 FR 64210).
The BIA received one comment in
response to this notice. The commenter
expressed disagreement with the
application of the Act of August 4, 1947,
61 Stat. 731, and proposed repealing of
the 1947 Act would reduce the burden
in collecting information for probate of
restricted land. However, the data for
this information collection is collected
under 25 U.S.C. 372–373, which does
not apply to members of the Five
Civilized Tribes. Therefore, no changes

The BIA requests your comments on
this collection concerning: (a) The

(c) Ways we could enhance the quality,
