Abstract: The BIA is seeking to renew 

the information collection conducted 

under 25 CFR 13, Tribal Reassumption 

of Jurisdiction over Child Custody 

Proceedings, which prescribes 

procedures by which a federally 

recognized Tribe that occupies Tribal 

lands over which a State asserts any 

jurisdiction pursuant to Federal law 

may reassume jurisdiction over Indian 

child proceedings as authorized by the 

Indian Child Welfare Act, Public Law 

95–608, 92 Stat. 3069, 25 U.S.C. 1918. 

The collection of information will 

ensure that the provisions of Public Law 

95–608 are met. Any federally 

recognized Tribe that became subject to 

State jurisdiction pursuant to the 

provisions of the Act of August 15, 1953 

(67 Stat. 588), as amended by title IV of 

the Act of April 11, 1968 (82 Stat. 

73,78), or pursuant to any other Federal 

law, may reassume jurisdiction over 

child custody proceedings. The 

collection of information provides data 

that will be used in considering the 

petition and feasibility of the plan of the 

Tribe for reassumption of jurisdiction 

over Indian child custody proceedings. 

We collect the following information: 

Full name, address, and telephone 

number of petitioning Tribe or Tribes; a 

Tribal resolution; estimated total 

number of members in the petitioning 

Tribe of Tribes with an explanation of 

how the number was estimated; current 

criteria for Tribal membership; citation 

to provision in Tribal constitution 

authorizing the Tribal governing body to 

exercise jurisdiction over Indian child 

custody matters; description of Tribal 

court; copy of any Tribal ordinances or 

Tribal court rules establishing 

procedures or rules for exercise of 

jurisdiction over child custody matters; 

and all other information required by 25 

CFR 13.11. 

Title of Collection: Tribal 

Reassumption of Jurisdiction over Child 

Custody Proceedings. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0112. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Federally recognized Tribes who submit 

Tribal reassumption petitions for review 

and approval by the Secretary of the 

Interior. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1. 

Estimated Completion Time per

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 8 hours.

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: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Federally recognized Tribes and their 

members. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 252,041. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 252,041. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 15 minutes to 40 

hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 64,305. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

Obtain a Benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $110,880.

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of 

records notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Interior (DOI) is issuing a public notice 

of its intent to rescind the Privacy Act 

system of records notice, INTERIOR/ 

DOI–03, Financial Interest Statements 

and Ethics Counselor Decisions. During 

a review of the INTERIOR/DOI–03 

system of records notice, DOI 

determined that employee public 

financial disclosure reports, financial 

interest statements, conflict of interest 

decisions, and other related records are 

covered under two Government-wide 

system of records notices published by 

the Office of Government Ethics (OGE). 

This rescindment will eliminate an 

unnecessary duplicate notice and 

promote the overall streamlining and 

management of DOI Privacy Act systems 

of records. 

DATES: These changes take effect on 

September 7, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

identified by docket number [DOI– 

2020–0018] by any of the following

or any other personal information in 

your comment, may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you may 

request to withhold your personally

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Teri

208–1605. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DOI is 

rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–03, 

Financial Interest Statements and Ethics 

Counselor Decisions, system of records 

notice and removing it from its 

inventory. The DOI Ethics Office 

maintains records on employee public 

financial disclosure reports, financial 

interest statements, conflict of interest 

decisions, and other records to 

administer the DOI Ethics Program and 

ensure compliance with ethics laws and 

regulations. During a review of the 

INTERIOR/DOI–03 notice, DOI 

determined that these records are 

covered under two Government-wide 

system of records notices published by 

OGE: OGE/GOVT–1, Executive Branch 

Personnel Public Financial Disclosure 

Reports and Other Name-Retrieved 

Ethics Program Records, 84 FR 47303 

(September 9, 2019); and OGE/GOVT–2, 

Executive Branch Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Reports, 84 FR 47301 

(September 9, 2019). 

A Government-wide system of records 

is a system of records where one agency 

has regulatory authority over the records 

in the custody of multiple agencies and 

that agency has the responsibility for 

publishing a system of records notice 

that applies to all of the records 

regardless of their custodial location. 

The two OGE government-wide system 

of records notices apply to the records 

maintained by the DOI Ethics Program 

pursuant to ethics laws and regulations. 

Therefore, DOI is rescinding the 

INTERIOR/DOI–03, Financial Interest 

Statements and Ethics Counselor 

Decisions, system of records notice to 

eliminate an unnecessary duplicate 

notice in accordance with the Office of 

Management and Budget Circular 

A–108, Federal Agency Responsibilities 

for Review, Reporting, and Publication 

under the Privacy Act. 

Rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–03, 

Financial Interest Statements and Ethics 

Counselor Decisions, system of records 

notice will have no adverse impacts on 

individuals as the records are covered 

by OGE/GOVT–1, Executive Branch 

Personnel Public Financial Disclosure 

Reports and Other Name-Retrieved 

Ethics Program Records, and OGE/ 

GOVT–2, Executive Branch Confidential 

Financial Disclosure Reports, which 

apply to the records regardless of their 

custodial location. This rescindment 

will also promote the overall 

streamlining and management of DOI 

Privacy Act systems of records. This 

notice hereby rescinds the INTERIOR/ 

DOI–03, Financial Interest Statements 

and Ethics Counselor Decisions, system 

of records notice as identified below. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
