DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

[Docket No. OTJ 110] 

Office of the Associate Attorney 

General; Pilot Project for Tribal 

Jurisdiction Over Crimes of Domestic 

Violence 

AGENCY: Office of the Associate 

Attorney General, Justice. 

ACTION: Announcement of successful 

applications for pilot project. 

SUMMARY: The Associate Attorney 

General, exercising authority delegated 

by the Attorney General, is granting the 

requests of two Indian tribes to be 

designated as participating tribes under 

section 204 of the Indian Civil Rights 

Act of 1968, as amended, on an 

accelerated basis, under the voluntary 

pilot project described in section 

908(b)(2) of the Violence Against 

Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. 

DATES: This announcement is effective 

immediately. 

ADDRESSES: Mr. Tracy Toulou, Director, 

Office of Tribal Justice, Department of 

Justice, 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., 

Room 2310, Washington, DC 20530, 

email OTJ@usdoj.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Tracy Toulou, Director, Office of Tribal 

Justice, Department of Justice, at (202) 

514–8812 (not a toll-free number) or 

OTJ@usdoj.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

908(b)(2) of the Violence Against 

Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 

(VAWA 2013) establishes a voluntary 

pilot project for Indian tribes that wish 

to commence exercising jurisdiction on 

an accelerated basis over certain crimes 

of domestic violence and dating 

violence and certain criminal violations 

of protection orders in Indian country. 

This announcement provides public 

notice that the Associate Attorney 

General, exercising authority delegated 

by the Attorney General, is granting the 

requests of two Indian tribes to be 

designated as participating tribes under 

section 204 of the Indian Civil Rights 

Act of 1968, as amended, on an 

accelerated basis, under the voluntary 

pilot project described in section 

908(b)(2) of VAWA 2013. The two tribes 

are (in alphabetical order): 

• The Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes 

of the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, and 

• the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate of the 

Lake Traverse Reservation. 

In deciding to grant the two tribes’ 

requests, the Department of Justice 

followed the procedures described in 

the Department’s final notice on the 

Pilot Project for Tribal Jurisdiction over 

Crimes of Domestic Violence, 78 FR 

71645 (Nov. 29, 2013). The Department 

of Justice coordinated with the 

Department of the Interior, consulted 

with affected Indian tribes, and 

concluded that the criminal justice 

system of each of the three tribes has 

adequate safeguards in place to protect 

defendants’ rights, consistent with 25 

U.S.C. 1304. 

Prior to exercising SDVCJ, each of the 

two tribes will notify its community that 

the tribe will soon commence 

prosecuting ‘‘special domestic violence 

criminal jurisdiction’’ (SDVCJ) cases. 

That notification will include sending 

press releases to the print and electronic 

media outlets in the tribe’s area. 

The Department of Justice will post 

on its Tribal Justice and Safety Web site 

(http://www.justice.gov/tribal/) each of 

the two tribes’ Application 

Questionnaires and all the tribal laws, 

rules, and policies that were attached or 

linked to those Application 

Questionnaires. Once posted, these 

materials will serve as a resource for 

those tribes that may also wish to 

commence exercising SDVCJ in March 

2015 or later. 

Dated: March 13, 2015. 

Stuart Delery, 

Acting Associate Attorney General.
