Renewal of Agency Information Collection for Appointed Counsel in Involuntary Indian Child Custody Proceedings in State Courts

Résumé

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is proposing to submit the information collection, titled "Payment for Appointed Counsel in Involuntary Indian Child Custody Proceedings in State Courts, 25 CFR 23.13" to the Office of Management and Budget for renewal. The information collection is currently authorized by OMB Control Number 1076-0111, which expires February 28, 2010. The information collection requires State courts that appoint counsel for an indigent Indian parent or Indian custodian in an involuntary Indian child custody proceeding to submit certain information to BIA for reimbursement when appointment of counsel is not authorized by State law.
