1076-AF62 202210 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1076 Bureau of Indian Affairs BIA 1000 Department of the Interior DOI Self-Governance PROGRESS Act Regulations

This rule would implement the requirements of the Practical Reforms and Other Goals To Reinforce the Effectiveness of Self-Governance and Self-Determination for Indian Tribes Act (PROGRESS Act) requiring updates to Indian Affairs’ regulations governing Tribal Self-Governance.  The PROGRESS Act amends subchapter I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C. 5301 et seq., which addresses Indian Self-Determination, and subchapter IV of the ISDEAA which addresses DOI's Tribal Self-Governance Program. The PROGRESS Act calls for a negotiated rulemaking committee to be established under 5 U.S.C. 565, with membership consisting only of representatives of Federal and Tribal governments, with the Office of Self-Governance serving as the lead agency for the DOI. The PROGRESS Act also authorizes the Secretary to adapt negotiated rulemaking procedures to the unique context of self-governance and the government-to-government relationship between the United States and Indian Tribes.
