Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 22 / Tuesday, February 3, 2015 / Notices Officer, U.S. Geological Survey, 12201 Sunrise Valley Drive MS 807, Reston, VA 20192 (mail); (703) 648–7197 (fax); or gs-info_collections@usgs.gov (email). Please reference ‘Information Collection 1028–0048, USGS Earthquake Data Report’ in all correspondence. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Wald, (303) 273–8441, wald@ usgs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES I. Abstract The U.S. Geological Survey is required to collect, evaluate, publish and distribute information concerning earthquakes. Respondents have an opportunity to voluntarily supply information concerning the effects of shaking from an earthquake—on themselves, buildings, other man-made structures, and ground effects such as faulting or landslides. Respondents’ observations are interpreted in terms of numbers that measure the strength of shaking, and the resulting numbers are displayed on maps that are viewable from USGS earthquake Web sites. Observations are submitted via the Felt Report questionnaire accessed from the USGS Did You Feel It? Earthquake Web pages, and may be submitted via computer or mobile phone. Respondents are asked to provide information on the location to which the report pertains. The locations may, at the respondent’s option, be given imprecisely (city-name or postal Zip Code) or precisely (street address, geographic coordinates, or current location determined by the user’s mobile phone). Low resolution maps of shaking based on both precise and imprecise observations are published for all earthquakes for which observations are submitted. For earthquakes felt by many respondents, the observations that are associated with more precise locations are used in the preparation of higher resolution maps of earthquake shaking. We will protect information from respondents considered proprietary under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and implementing regulations (43 CFR part 2), and under regulations at 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and information to be made available to the public or for limited inspection.’’ Responses are voluntary. No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are asked. We will release data collected on these forms only in formats that do not include proprietary information volunteered by respondents. II. Data OMB Control Number: 1028–0048. Form Number: 1028–0048. VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:46 Feb 02, 2015 Jkt 235001 Title: Earthquake Report (Did You Feel It? Earthquake). Type of Request: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: General Public. Respondent’s Obligation: None. Participation is voluntary. Frequency of Collection: On occasion, after each earthquake. Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: Approximately 300,000 individuals, based on past experience, but strongly dependent on the number of moderate or large earthquakes occurring near population centers, which cannot be known in advance. Estimated Time per Response: Six minutes, on average. Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 30,000 hours. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden: There are no ‘‘non-hour cost’’ burdens associated with this IC. Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number and current expiration date. III. Request for Comments We are soliciting comments as to: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the agency to perform its duties, including whether the information is useful; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, usefulness, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) how to minimize the burden on the respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

The Pueblo of Acoma Tribal Council duly adopted this law by Resolution No. TC–JUL–22–14 VIa on July 22, 2014. The Indian Civil Rights Act (ICRA) provides that no Indian tribe in exercising powers of self-government shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws or deprive any person of liberty or property without due process of law. 25 U.S.C. 1302(8). The U.S. Supreme Court and 10th Circuit have determined that a license, such as a liquor license or a server permit, is a property interest and that the process by which a government revokes a license must provide the licensee notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to revocation. Bell v. Burson, 402 U.S. 535, 539 (1971); Stidham v. Peace Officer Stds. & Training, 265 F.3d 1144, 1150 (10th Cir. 2001). The Acoma Beverage Sales Law published herein states that, ‘‘Notwithstanding any other provision of this Law, a License or Permit issued hereunder shall not be deemed a property right or vested right of any kind.’’ 19–7–6. This statement is contrary to the weight of Federal law, but does not have substantive effect on the rights of licensees and permittees. The substantive provision at 19–7–4 expressly provides that ‘‘Revocation of a License or Server Permit will occur only following an opportunity for a hearing before the Tribal Court.’’ I certify the Law even though it says that licenses and permits shall not be considered property rights, because the due process rights of licensees and permittees are protected under 19–7–4 and in light of the severability provision at 19–14–1. This notice is published in accordance with the authority delegated by the Secretary of the Interior to the Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. 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

[[Page 5778]]

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. There 
are no changes being made to this information collection.
