Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 118 / Monday, June 20, 2016 / Proposed Rules
decision to re-determine descent and
distribution of those interests. There
would be no change to the requirement
that any removal of property from a
decedent’s inventory would require
action by OHA. See 43 CFR 30.127.
3. Clarify OHA’s Authority To Order
Distribution of Trust Funds
The current regulation at 43 CFR
30.254 governs how a judge distributes
a decedent’s trust or restricted property
when the decedent died without a valid
will and has no heirs. The rule
establishes different distributions based
on whether 25 U.S.C. 2206(a) applies,
but does not identify trust personalty as
a stand-alone category of trust property
for distribution (where there are no land
interests in the decedent’s estate or
within the jurisdiction of any tribe).
Revision under consideration:
• A modification to this regulation
would provide clear authority for OHA
to order distribution of trust funds when
there are either no land interests in a
decedent’s estate or no land interests
within the jurisdiction of any tribe.
Additionally, where the estate contains
trust personalty associated with one
tribe but interests in trust lands
associated with another, OHA would
order the trust personalty distributed to
the tribe with sufficient nexus to the
funds, as determined by the judge, and
the land distributed to the tribe with
jurisdiction over those interests.
