methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

Overview of This information 

(1) Type of information collection: 

(2) The title of the form/collection: 

Bureau of Justice Assistance 

Application Form for the Southwest 

Border Prosecution Initiative. 

(3) The agency form number, if any 

and the applicable component of the 

Department sponsoring the collection: 

None. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: State, Local or Tribal

Other: None. 

Abstract: The Southwest Border 

Prosecutor Initiative was enacted in FY 

2002 to reimburse state, county, parish, 

or municipal governments for the costs 

associated with the prosecution of 

criminal cases declined by local U.S. 

Attorneys. Each year, hundreds of 

criminal cases resulting from federal 

arrests are referred to local prosecutors 

to handle when the cases fall below 

certain monetary, quantity, or severity 

thresholds. This places additional 

burdens on local government resources 

that are already stretched by the 

demands of prosecuting violations of 

local and state laws. This program 

provides funds to eligible jurisdictions 

in the four Southwest Border States, 

using a uniform payment-per-case basis 

for qualifying federally initiated and 

declined-referred criminal cases that 

were disposed of after October 1, 2001. 

Up to 220 eligible jurisdictions may 

apply. This includes county 

governments and the four state 

governments in Arizona, California, 

New Mexico, and Texas. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond/reply: It is estimated that no 

more than 220 respondents will apply. 

Each application takes approximately 60 

minutes to complete and is submitted 4 

times per year (quarterly). 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total hour burden to 

complete the applications is 880 hours 

(880 applications (220 × 4 times a year) 

× 60 minutes per application = 52,800/ 

60 minutes per hour = 880 burden 

hours).

Statutory Background 

For more than two centuries, the 

Federal Government has recognized 

Indian tribes as domestic sovereigns that 

have unique government-to-government 

relationships with the United States. 

Congress has broad authority to legislate 

with respect to Indian tribes, however, 

and has exercised this authority to 

establish a complex jurisdictional 

scheme for the prosecution of crimes 

committed in Indian country. (The term 

‘‘Indian country’’ is defined in 18 U.S.C. 

1151.) Criminal jurisdiction in Indian 

country typically depends on several 

factors, including the nature of the 

crime; whether the alleged offender, the 

victim, or both are Indian; and whether 

a treaty, Federal statute, executive order, 

or judicial decision has conferred 

jurisdiction on a particular government. 

The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) 

was enacted on July 29, 2010, as Title 

II of Public Law 111–211. The purpose 

of the TLOA is to help the Federal 

Government and tribal governments 

better address the unique public-safety 

challenges that confront tribal 

communities. Section 221(b) of the new 

law, now codified at 18 U.S.C. 1162(d), 

permits an Indian tribe with Indian 

country subject to State criminal 

jurisdiction under Public Law 280, 

Public Law 83–280, 67 Stat. 588 (1953) 

to request that the United States accept 

concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute 

violations of the General Crimes Act and 

the Major Crimes Act within that tribe’s 

Indian country. 

Department of Justice Regulation 

Implementing 18 U.S.C. 1162(d) 

On December 6, 2011, 76 FR 76037 

the Department published final 

regulations that established the 

framework and procedures for a 

mandatory Public Law 280 tribe to 

request the assumption of concurrent 

Federal criminal jurisdiction within the 

Indian country of the tribe that is 

subject to Public Law 280. 28 CFR 

50.25. Among other provisions, the 

regulations provide that upon receipt of 

a tribal request the Office of Tribal 

Justice shall publish a notice in the 

Federal Register seeking comments 

from the general public. 

Request by the Mille Lacs Band of 

Ojibwe 

By a request dated February 22, 2013, 

the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe located 

in the State of Minnesota requested the 

United States to assume concurrent 

Federal jurisdiction to prosecute 

violations of 18 U.S.C. 1152 (the General 

Crimes, or Indian Country Crimes, Act) 

and 18 U.S.C. 1153 (the Major Crimes 

Act) within the Indian country of the 

tribe. This would allow the United 

States to assume concurrent criminal 

jurisdiction over offenses within the 

Indian country of the tribe without 

eliminating or affecting the State’s 

existing criminal jurisdiction. 

Solicitation of Comments 

This notice solicits public comments 

on the above request. 

Dated: March 13, 2013.
