The American Indian Trust Management
Reform Act of 1994 was enacted to allow tribes more control of the
funds held in trust for them by the Federal Government. This
information collection allows the Office of the Special Trustee for
American Indians to collect the tribes' applications for withdrawal
of funds held in trust by the Department of the Interior. The Act
covers all tribal trust funds including judgment funds as well as
some settlements funds, but excludes funds held in Individual
Indian Money accounts. Both the Act and the regulations state that
upon withdrawal of the funds, the Department of the Interior (and
the Federal Government) have no further liability for such
funds.
