Abstract: The BIA is seeking to renew
the information collection conducted
under 25 CFR 13, Tribal Reassumption
of Jurisdiction over Child Custody
Proceedings, which prescribes
procedures by which a federally
recognized Tribe that occupies Tribal
lands over which a State asserts any
jurisdiction pursuant to Federal law
may reassume jurisdiction over Indian
child proceedings as authorized by the
Indian Child Welfare Act, Public Law
95–608, 92 Stat. 3069, 25 U.S.C. 1918.
The collection of information will
ensure that the provisions of Public Law
95–608 are met. Any federally
recognized Tribe that became subject to
State jurisdiction pursuant to the
provisions of the Act of August 15, 1953
(67 Stat. 588), as amended by title IV of
the Act of April 11, 1968 (82 Stat.
73,78), or pursuant to any other Federal
law, may reassume jurisdiction over
child custody proceedings. The
collection of information provides data
that will be used in considering the
petition and feasibility of the plan of the
Tribe for reassumption of jurisdiction
over Indian child custody proceedings.
We collect the following information:
Full name, address, and telephone
number of petitioning Tribe or Tribes; a
Tribal resolution; estimated total
number of members in the petitioning
Tribe of Tribes with an explanation of
how the number was estimated; current
criteria for Tribal membership; citation
to provision in Tribal constitution
authorizing the Tribal governing body to
exercise jurisdiction over Indian child
custody matters; description of Tribal
court; copy of any Tribal ordinances or
Tribal court rules establishing
procedures or rules for exercise of
jurisdiction over child custody matters;

Abstract: Under the Indian
Reorganization Act, Tribes have the
right to organize and adopt
constitutions, bylaws, and any
amendments thereto, and ratify charters
of incorporation, through elections
called by the Secretary of the Interior,
according to rules prescribed by the
Secretary. See 25 U.S.C. 476, 477, 503.
The Secretary’s rules for conducting
these elections, known as ‘‘Secretarial
elections,’’ and approving the results are
at 25 CFR 81. In most cases, the Tribe
requests a Secretarial election; however,
an individual voting member of a Tribe
may also request a Secretarial election
by petition. These rules also establish
the procedures for an individual to
petition for a Secretarial election.
The BIA requires the Tribe to submit
a formal request for Secretarial election,
including: A Tribal resolution; the
document or language to be voted on in
the election; a list of all Tribal members
who are age 18 or older in the next 120
days (when the election will occur),
including their last known addresses,
voting districts (if any), and dates of
birth, in an electronically sortable
format.
While much of the information the
Tribe prepares for a Secretarial election
(e.g., list of members eligible to vote)
would be required if the Tribe instead
conducted its own Tribal election, the
Secretary’s rules establish specifics on
what a Tribal request or petition for
election must contain. These specifics
are necessary to ensure the integrity of
Secretarial elections and allow the BIA

of its intent to rescind the Privacy Act
system of records notice, INTERIOR/

and Ethics Counselor Decisions. During
a review of the INTERIOR/DOI–03
system of records notice, DOI
determined that employee public
financial disclosure reports, financial
interest statements, conflict of interest
decisions, and other related records are
covered under two Government-wide
system of records notices published by
the Office of Government Ethics (OGE).
This rescindment will eliminate an
unnecessary duplicate notice and
promote the overall streamlining and

notice and removing it from its
inventory. The DOI Ethics Office
maintains records on employee public
financial disclosure reports, financial
interest statements, conflict of interest
decisions, and other records to
administer the DOI Ethics Program and
ensure compliance with ethics laws and
regulations. During a review of the
INTERIOR/DOI–03 notice, DOI
determined that these records are
covered under two Government-wide
system of records notices published by
OGE: OGE/GOVT–1, Executive Branch
Personnel Public Financial Disclosure
Reports and Other Name-Retrieved
Ethics Program Records, 84 FR 47303
(September 9, 2019); and OGE/GOVT–2,
Executive Branch Confidential Financial
Disclosure Reports, 84 FR 47301
(September 9, 2019).
A Government-wide system of records
is a system of records where one agency
has regulatory authority over the records
in the custody of multiple agencies and
that agency has the responsibility for
publishing a system of records notice
that applies to all of the records
regardless of their custodial location.
The two OGE government-wide system
of records notices apply to the records
maintained by the DOI Ethics Program
pursuant to ethics laws and regulations.
Therefore, DOI is rescinding the
INTERIOR/DOI–03, Financial Interest
Statements and Ethics Counselor
Decisions, system of records notice to
eliminate an unnecessary duplicate
notice in accordance with the Office of
Management and Budget Circular
A–108, Federal Agency Responsibilities
for Review, Reporting, and Publication
under the Privacy Act.
Rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–03,
Financial Interest Statements and Ethics
Counselor Decisions, system of records
notice will have no adverse impacts on
individuals as the records are covered
by OGE/GOVT–1, Executive Branch
Personnel Public Financial Disclosure
Reports and Other Name-Retrieved
Ethics Program Records, and OGE/
GOVT–2, Executive Branch Confidential
Financial Disclosure Reports, which
apply to the records regardless of their
custodial location. This rescindment
will also promote the overall
