SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The Department has issued 

regulations prescribing procedures by 

which an Indian tribe may reassume 

jurisdiction over Indian child 

proceedings when a state asserts any 

jurisdiction. Tribes have the right to 

pursue this alternative because this 

action is authorized by the Indian Child 

Welfare Act, Public Law 95–608, 92 

Stat. 3069, 25 U.S.C. 1918. 

II. Request for Comments 

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 

invites comments on: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the BIA, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the BIA’s estimate 

of the burden (including hours and cost) 

of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(d) Ways to 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 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section, 

room 4513 MIB, during the hours of 8 

a.m. to 4:30 p.m., EST, Monday through 

Friday, except for legal holidays. Please 

note that all comments received will be 

available for public review 2 weeks after 

the comment period closes. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail address or other personally 

identifiable information, be advised that 

your entire comment—including your 

personally identifiable information— 

may be made public at any time. While 

you may request that we withhold your 

personally identifiable information, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. We will honor your request 

according to the requirements of the 

law. All comments from organizations 

or representatives will be available for 

review. We may withhold comments

Potential for Oil Shale Development; 

Withdrawal of the Call for 

Nominations—Oil Shale Research, 

Development, and Demonstration (R, 

D, and D) Program and Request for 

Public Comment 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM), Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: On January 15, 2009, the BLM 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice entitled ‘‘Potential for Oil Shale 

Development; Call for Nominations— 

Oil Shale Research, Development, and 

Demonstration (R, D, and D) Program’’ 

(see 74 FR 2611). The new 

Administration intends to review and 

reconsider certain aspects of the current 

solicitation, including lease acreage and 

the rules that would govern conversion 

of an R, D, and D lease to a commercial 

lease, particularly those related to 

royalty rates. To ensure a fair return to 

the public for potential commercial 

development of these Federal resources, 

the Administration has determined that 

further information is needed. 

Accordingly, the BLM is seeking public 

comment on the terms and conditions of 

any future oil shale R, D, and D leases 

that it may issue. The BLM therefore 

withdraws the January 15, 2009, 

solicitation of the nomination of parcels 

to be leased for R, D, and D of oil shale 

recovery technologies in Colorado, 

Utah, and Wyoming. 

DATES: The withdrawal is effective 

February 27, 2009. Please submit 

comments on the terms and conditions 

of any future oil shale R, D, and D leases 

no later than May 28, 2009 to assure that 

they are considered. 

ADDRESSES: Please hand-deliver written 

comments to Nick Douglas, Suite 807, 

1620 L Street, NW., Washington, DC. 

You may send comments via overnight 

delivery to this same address. Mail 

U.S.P.S. written comments to BLM
