Reduction Act of 1995, we provide the
general public and other Federal
agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised,
and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the
impact of our information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand our information
collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the
proposed ICR that is described below.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following
issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to
the proper functions of the BIA; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
BIA enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the BIA
minimize the burden of this collection
on the respondents, including through
the use of information technology.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or
summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before
including your address, phone number,
email address, or other personal
identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: Under the Indian
Reorganization Act, Indian tribes have
the right to organize and adopt
constitutions, bylaws, and any
amendments thereto, and ratify charters
of incorporation, through elections
called by the Secretary of the Interior,
according to rules prescribed by the
Secretary. See 25 U.S.C. 476, 477, 503.
The Secretary’s rules for conducting
these elections, known as ‘‘Secretarial
elections,’’ and approving the results are
at 25 CFR 81. In most cases, the tribe
requests a Secretarial election; however,
an individual voting member of a tribe
may also request a Secretarial election
by petition. These rules also establish
the procedures for an individual to
petition for a Secretarial election.
BIA requires the tribe to submit a
formal request for Secretarial election,
including: A tribal resolution; the
document or language to be voted on in
the election; a list of all tribal members
who are age 18 or older in the next 120

days (when the election will occur),
including their last known addresses,
voting districts (if any), and dates of
birth, in an electronically sortable
format.
While much of the information the
tribe prepares for a Secretarial election
(e.g., list of members eligible to vote)
would be required if the tribe instead
conducted its own tribal election, the
Secretary’s rules establish specifics on
what a tribal request or petition for
election must contain. These specifics
are necessary to ensure the integrity of
Secretarial elections and allow Bureau
of Indian Affairs (BIA) and tribal
personnel the ability to consistently
administer elections.
Title of Collection: Secretarial
Elections.
OMB Control Number: 1076–0183.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian
Tribes and their members.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 252,041.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 252,041.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 15 minutes to 40
hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 64,305.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $110,880.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
Dated: June 8, 2018.
