or municipal governments for the costs
associated with the prosecution of
criminal cases declined by local U.S.
Attorneys. Each year, hundreds of

criminal cases resulting from federal
arrests are referred to local prosecutors
to handle when the cases fall below
certain monetary, quantity, or severity
thresholds. This places additional
burdens on local government resources
that are already stretched by the
demands of prosecuting violations of
local and state laws. This program
provides funds to eligible jurisdictions
in the four Southwest Border States,
using a uniform payment-per-case basis
for qualifying federally initiated and
declined-referred criminal cases that
were disposed of after October 1, 2001.
Up to 220 eligible jurisdictions may
apply. This includes county
governments and the four state
governments in Arizona, California,
New Mexico, and Texas.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that no
more than 220 respondents will apply.
Each application takes approximately 60
minutes to complete and is submitted 4
times per year (quarterly).
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total hour burden to
complete the applications is 880 hours
(880 applications (220 × 4 times a year)
× 60 minutes per application = 52,800/
60 minutes per hour = 880 burden
hours).

Statutory Background
For more than two centuries, the
Federal Government has recognized
Indian tribes as domestic sovereigns that
have unique government-to-government
relationships with the United States.
Congress has broad authority to legislate
with respect to Indian tribes, however,
and has exercised this authority to
establish a complex jurisdictional
scheme for the prosecution of crimes
committed in Indian country. (The term
‘‘Indian country’’ is defined in 18 U.S.C.
1151.) Criminal jurisdiction in Indian
country typically depends on several
factors, including the nature of the
crime; whether the alleged offender, the
victim, or both are Indian; and whether
a treaty, Federal statute, executive order,
or judicial decision has conferred
jurisdiction on a particular government.
The Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA)
was enacted on July 29, 2010, as Title
II of Public Law 111–211. The purpose
of the TLOA is to help the Federal
Government and tribal governments
better address the unique public-safety
challenges that confront tribal
communities. Section 221(b) of the new
law, now codified at 18 U.S.C. 1162(d),
permits an Indian tribe with Indian
country subject to State criminal
jurisdiction under Public Law 280,
Public Law 83–280, 67 Stat. 588 (1953)
to request that the United States accept
concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute
violations of the General Crimes Act and
the Major Crimes Act within that tribe’s
Indian country.

Department of Justice Regulation
Implementing 18 U.S.C. 1162(d)
On December 6, 2011, 76 FR 76037
the Department published final
regulations that established the
framework and procedures for a
mandatory Public Law 280 tribe to
request the assumption of concurrent
Federal criminal jurisdiction within the
Indian country of the tribe that is
subject to Public Law 280. 28 CFR
50.25. Among other provisions, the
regulations provide that upon receipt of
a tribal request the Office of Tribal
Justice shall publish a notice in the
Federal Register seeking comments
from the general public.
Request by the Mille Lacs Band of
Ojibwe
By a request dated February 22, 2013,
the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe located
in the State of Minnesota requested the
United States to assume concurrent
Federal jurisdiction to prosecute
violations of 18 U.S.C. 1152 (the General
Crimes, or Indian Country Crimes, Act)
and 18 U.S.C. 1153 (the Major Crimes
Act) within the Indian country of the
tribe. This would allow the United
States to assume concurrent criminal
jurisdiction over offenses within the
Indian country of the tribe without
eliminating or affecting the State’s
existing criminal jurisdiction.
