SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

As part of our continuing effort to

We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve the information
collection request. Before including
your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

collection conducted under 25 U.S.C.
43, 36 Stat. 472, inter alia, and
implementing regulations, at 25 CFR
part 5, regarding verification of Indian
preference for employment. The
purpose of Indian preference is to
encourage qualified Indian persons to
seek employment with the BIA and the
Indian Health Service (IHS) by offering

well as in any unit that has been
transferred intact from the BIA to a
Bureau or office within the Department
of the Interior or the Department of
Health and Human Services and that
continues to perform functions formerly
performed as part of the BIA and the
IHS. You are eligible for preference if (a)
you are a member of a federally

residing within the present boundaries
of any Indian reservation on June 1,
1934; (c) you are an Alaska native; or (d)

17. Secretarial Elections
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 and Tribal personnel the
ability to consistently administer
elections.
Title of Collection: Secretarial
Elections.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0183.
Form Number: Secretarial Election
Voter Registration Form.
