I. Abstract
This notice is for renewal of
information collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(‘‘OMB’’) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., 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)).
The Secretary of the Interior
established the Land Buy-Back Program
for Tribal Nations (‘‘the Program’’) to
implement the land consolidation
provisions of the Cobell Settlement
Agreement (‘‘the Settlement’’). The
Settlement provided for a $1.9 billion
Trust Land Consolidation Fund to
consolidate fractional land interests
across Indian Country.
The Department of the Interior works
cooperatively with tribal leaders and
individual landowners to reduce the
number of fractional interests through
voluntary land sales. The Program
allows interested individual owners to
receive payments for voluntarily selling
their land. All lands sold will
immediately be held in trust for the
tribe with jurisdiction. Tribal
leadership, participation, and
facilitation are crucial to the success of
the Program.
The Program is carrying out its work
in accordance with the Claims
Resolution Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–
291, § 101). The Act requires that ‘‘[t]he
Secretary shall consult with Indian
tribes to identify fractional interests
within the respective jurisdictions of the
Indian tribes for purchase in a manner
that is consistent with the priorities of
the Secretary.’’ Moreover, the obligation
to engage in meaningful consultations
with Federally-recognized tribes is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:17 Dec 28, 2015
Jkt 238001
rooted in the United States Constitution
and Federal treaties, statutes, executive
orders and policies. Federal agencies are
required to consult on actions that will
have substantial, direct effect or
implications for tribal nations,
including regulations, rulemakings,
policy, guidance, legislative proposals,
grant formula changes, and operational
activities.
There are about 245,000 owners of
nearly three million fractional interests
across Indian Country who are eligible
to participate in the Program. Informed
by early planning activities, the Program
identified 42 locations where land
consolidation activities—such as
planning, outreach, mapping, mineral
evaluations, appraisals or acquisitions—
have either already occurred or are
expected to take place through the
middle of 2017. These locations
represented 83 percent of all
outstanding fractional interests across
Indian Country.
The Program has launched a two-part
Planning Initiative to help determine its
next implementation schedule for 2017
and beyond. Eligible tribal governments
not already scheduled for
implementation are invited to formally
indicate their interest in participating in
the Program. More information,
including the deadline for tribal
expressions of interest, is available to
tribal leaders at: https://www.doi.gov/
buybackprogram/tribes.
In light of the Program’s duty to
consult with tribes, we are conducting
this information collection request to
obtain information from the remaining
eligible tribal governments regarding
their interest in implementing the
Program at their locations and their
readiness to do so. The Program will
evaluate the expressions of interest
provided by tribal governments, among
other factors, as it develops its next
implementation schedule.
