Abstract: As sovereignties, federally
recognized tribes have the right to
establish their 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 if they contain provisions
governing trust lands. This statute also
establishes the basic review and
approval of tribal probate codes. This
information collection covers tribes’
submission of tribal probate codes,
amendments, and free-standing single
heir rules containing provisions
regarding trust lands to the Secretary for
approval. Submission of information is
required to comply with ILCA, as
amended by AIPRA, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et
seq., which provides that Indian tribes
must obtain Secretarial approval for all
tribal probate codes, amendments, and
free-standing single heir rules that
govern the descent and distribution of
trust or restricted lands.
Title of Collection: Tribal Probate
Codes.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0168.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian
tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 10 on average.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 10 on average.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 2 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 20 hours.
Respondent’s Obligation: A response
is required to obtain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: One per
respondent, on occasion.
