Renewal of Agency Information 

Collection for Probate of Indian 

Estates 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of submission to OMB. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is 

submitting to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) a request for renewal 

for the collection of information titled 

‘‘Probate of Indian Estates, Except for 

Members of the Osage Nation and the 

Five Civilized Tribes.’’ The information 

collection is currently authorized by 

OMB Control Number 1076–0169, 

which expires February 28, 2015. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before March 

16, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the information collection to the 

Desk Officer for the Department of the 

Interior at the Office of Management and 

Budget, by facsimile to (202) 395–5806 

or you may send an email to: OIRA_

Submission@omb.eop.gov. Please send a 

copy of your comments to Charlene 

Toledo, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office 

of Trust Services, Division of Probate 

Services 2600 N Central Ave STE MS 

102, Phoenix, AZ 85004: 

Charlene.Toledo@bia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Charlene Toledo, (505) 563–3371. You 

may review the information collection 

request online at http://

www.reginfo.gov. Follow the 

instructions to review Department of the 

Interior collections under review by 

OMB. 

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
