SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is confirming the interim
final rule published and effective on March 3, 2013, addressing the
addition of two Indian tribes to the list of tribes with Courts of
Indian Offenses (also known as CFR Courts), and deletion of five tribes
from those under the jurisdiction of CFR Courts. The March 3, 2013,
publication stated that the BIA would review comments on the interim
final rule and either confirm the rule or initiate a proposed
rulemaking. BIA did not receive any comments, and therefore confirms
the rule without change.
DATES: Effective August 13, 2013.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Appel, Acting Director,
Office of Regulatory Affairs & Collaborative Action, (202) 273-4680;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule revises a section of 25 CFR part
11 to add the following Indian tribes to the list of tribes with
established Courts of Indian Offenses (also known as CFR Courts): The
Seneca-Cayuga Tribe and the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians.
Adding these tribes will allow for the administration of justice until
the added tribes put into effect a law-and-order code that establishes
a court system that meets regulatory requirements or until the tribe
adopts a legal code and establishes a judicial system in accordance
with its constitution and bylaws or other governing documents.
The rule also revises a section of 25 CFR 11.100(c) to remove five
tribes from the list of those with established CFR Courts. The tribes
removed from the list are the Seminole Nation, the Miami Tribe, the
Wyandotte Tribe, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and the Quapaw Tribe
of Indians.
On March 3, 2013, we published an interim final rule with a request
for comment at 78 FR 14017. We stated in the interim final rule that we
would review any comments received and, by a future publication,
address any comments received and either confirm the interim final rule
with or without change or initiate a proposed rulemaking. We received
no comments on the interim final rule.
Therefore, the interim rule published March 3, 2013, at 78 FR
14017, is confirmed as final without change.
Dated: August 1, 2013.
Kevin K. Washburn,
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
