Abstract:
The Pilot Project established by the Violence Against Women Act of 2013 focuses on the power of a participating tribe to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction. Indian tribes may request designation as a participating tribe on an accelerated basis; the Attorney General will review each request and issue a decision. Information resulting from this collection will be used to evaluate tribal requests for accelerated authority to exercise this special jurisdiction.
Emergency Justfication:
First, without the emergency authorization, the statutorily-mandated project will not happen. Indian tribes that want to make use of the special authority right away may only do so under the pilot project. The pilot project only has about a year left—it goes away by March 2015. We don’t think we’ll be able to get the pilot project up and running given our time constraints without an emergency collection. Second, the special authority will have a real impact on public safety in Indian country. Under the pilot project, tribes would be given the immediate authority to prosecute certain defendants who commit acts of domestic violence in Indian country. Right now, there are certain kinds of defendants that go unpunished for committing acts of domestic violence in Indian country. The statute that established the pilot project was designed to close these terrible loopholes and ensure that perpetrators of violent crimes committed against Indian women are held accountable for their criminal behavior. There is a very real urgency here.
