SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's

We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The BIA is seeking renewal of the approval for the
information collection conducted under 25 CFR 23.13, implementing the
Indian Child Welfare Act (25 U.S.C. 1901 et seq.). The information
collection allows BIA to receive written requests by State courts that
appoint counsel for an indigent Indian parent or Indian custodian in an
involuntary Indian child custody proceeding when appointment of counsel
is not authorized by State law. The applicable BIA Regional Director
[[Page 20656]]
uses this information to decide whether to certify that the client in
the notice is eligible to have his counsel compensated by the BIA in
accordance with the Indian Child Welfare Act.
