SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),
require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of the Special
Trustee for American Indians will
submit to OMB for extension or reapproval.
Public Law 103–412, The American
Indian Trust Fund Management Reform
Act of 1994, allows Indian tribes on a
voluntary basis to take their funds out
of trust status within the Department of
the Interior (and the Federal
Government) in order to manage such
funds on their own. 25 CFR part 1200,
subpart B, § 1200.13, ‘‘How does a tribe
apply to withdraw funds?’’ describes the
requirements for application for
withdrawal. The Act covers all tribal
trust funds including judgment funds as
well as some settlement funds, but
excludes funds held in Individual
Indian Money accounts. Both the Act
and the regulation state that upon
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
withdrawal of the funds, the
Department of the Interior (and the
Federal Government) have no further
liability for such funds. Accompanying
their application for withdrawal of trust
funds, tribes are required to submit a
Management Plan for managing the
funds being withdrawn, to protect the
funds once they are out of trust status.
This information collection allows the
Office of the Special Trustee to collect
the tribes’ applications for withdrawal
of funds held in trust by the Department
of the Interior. If this information were
not collected, the Office of the Special
Trustee would not be able to comply
with The American Indian Trust Fund
Management Reform Act of 1994, and
tribes would not be able to withdraw
funds held for them in trust by the
Department of the Interior.
