Abstract: As sovereignties, federally 

recognized tribes have the right to 

establish their own probate codes. When 

those probate codes govern the descent 

and distribution of trust or restricted 

property, they must be approved by the 

Secretary of the Department of the 

Interior. The American Indian Probate 

Reform Act of 2004 (AIPRA) 

amendments to the Indian Land 

Consolidation Act, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et 

seq., provides that any tribal probate 

code, any amendment to a tribal probate 

code, and any free-standing single heir 

rule are subject to the approval of the 

Secretary if they contain provisions 

governing trust lands. This statute also 

establishes the basic review and 

approval of tribal probate codes. This 

information collection covers tribes’ 

submission of tribal probate codes, 

amendments, and free-standing single 

heir rules containing provisions 

regarding trust lands to the Secretary for 

approval. Submission of information is 

required to comply with ILCA, as 

amended by AIPRA, 25 U.S.C. 2201 et 

seq., which provides that Indian tribes 

must obtain Secretarial approval for all 

tribal probate codes, amendments, and 

free-standing single heir rules that 

govern the descent and distribution of 

trust or restricted lands. 

Title of Collection: Tribal Probate 

Codes. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0168. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of currently approved collection.

tribes.

Respondents: 10 on average. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 10 on average. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 2 hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 20 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: A response 

is required to obtain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: One per 

respondent, on occasion.
