regular contact with or control over

Indian children, and to process

contracts, grants or compacts for award

of funds as mandated by the Indian

Child Protection and Family Violence

Prevention Act (Act), Pub. L. 101–630,

25 U.S.C. 3201–3211. The Department

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Information Collection Request

The Department is seeking comments

on the following Information Collection

Request.

Type of review: New.

Title: (1) Background Investigations of

Individuals Whose Duties and

Responsibilities Allow Them Regular

Contact With or Control Over Indian

Children, 25 CFR § 63.15.

(2) Indian Child Protection and

Family Violence Prevention Program

Awards, 25 CFR § 63.33 and 25 CFR

§ 63.34.

Effected Entities: Tribal Governments;

Tribal Organizations.

Abstract: The Bureau of Indian Affairs

(BIA) is establishing regulations as

mandated by the Indian Child

Protection and Family Violence

Prevention Act. The regulations

prescribe minimum standards of

character and suitability for

employment of individuals whose

duties and responsibilities allow them

regular contact with or control over

Indian children as required by Title IV,

Section 408 of the Act, 25 U.S.C. 3207,

and establish the method for

distribution of funds to support tribally

operated programs to protect Indian

children and reduce the incidents of

family violence in Indian country as

authorized by Title IV, Section 411 of

the Act, 25 U.S.C. 3210(f)(3).

The Bureau of Indian Affairs

developed the regulations in

consultation with tribes. A working

group of tribal and BIA representatives

developed a draft of each section that

was then presented to participants at a

national tribal consultation meeting in

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, August 31

through September 1, 1994. The Notice

of Proposed Rulemaking was published

in the Federal Register on September 1,

1995.

Background Investigations of

Individuals Whose Duties and

Responsibilities Allow Them Regular

Contact With or Control Over Indian

Children. Indian tribes and tribal

organizations receiving funds under the

authority of the Indian SelfDetermination and Education

Assistance Act or the Tribally

Controlled Schools Act of 1988 must

conduct a background investigation for

individuals whose duties and

responsibilities would allow them

regular contact with or control over

Indian children, and employ only

individuals who meet standards of

character that are no less stringent than

those prescribed for the Bureau of

Indian Affairs. Indian tribes and tribal

organizations may conduct their own

background investigations, contract

with private firms, or request the Office

of Personnel Management to conduct an

investigation. Third party notification or

public disclosure is associated with this

collection.

Indian Child Protection and Family

Violence Prevention Program Awards.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs will use

the application for funding to determine

applicant eligibility, scope of service

population, safeguard Federal funds and

other resources, and administer and

evaluate programs. Tribal governments

or tribal organizations provide the

information by submitting Indian Selfdetermination and Education Assistance

Act, Pub. L. 93–638, as amended, 25

U.S.C. § 450 et seq., contract, compact,

or grant proposals to the Bureau of

Indian Affairs. No third party

notification or public disclosure burden

is associated with this collection.

In addition to the Indian SelfDetermination and Education

Assistance Act requirements, each

applicant must provide the name and

address of the agency or official to be

responsible for the investigation of

reported cases of child abuse and child

neglect, the treatment and prevention of
