Abstract: The BIA is seeking to revise
the information collection conducted
under 25 CFR 23, related to the Indian
Child Welfare Act (ICWA). The BIA uses
the information to determine the extent
of service needs in local Indian
communities, assess ICWA program
effectiveness, and provide date for the
annual program budget justification.
The aggregated report is not considered
confidential. The form must be
completed by Federally recognized
Tribes that operate child protection
programs. Submission of this
information by Federally recognized
Tribes allows the BIA to consolidate and
review selected data on Indian child
welfare cases. The data is useful on a
local level, to the Tribes and Tribal
entities that collect it, for case
management purposes. The data are
useful on a nationwide basis for
planning and budget purposes. We are
proposing to revise the consolidated
caseload form into two forms
respectfully—Part A form, and Part B
form—to facilitate the appropriate
Tribal officials filling out each. In
addition, we have attempted to make
the forms more user-friendly by making
the following changes:
• Improving the form language and
instructions.
• Utilizing Plain English standards
and limiting the use of technical terms
and/or jargoon.

• Provide annual narrative guidance
by adding 10 questions to the form.
• Clearly label State and Tribal data
in the instructions and titles.

between ICWA cases and Child
Protection.

dates, signatures, and certification roles
of preparer and BIA Regional Social
Worker.
