Title: Implementation of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (FR-4170) 
Abstract: On July 2, 1997 (62 FR 35718), HUD published a rule proposing to implement the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (NAHASDA). As required by section 106(b)(2) of NAHASDA, HUD developed the proposed rule with active tribal participation and using the procedures of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act. NAHASDA reorganizes the system of Federal housing assistance to Native Americans by eliminating several separate programs of assistance and replacing them with a single block grant program. In addition to simplifying the process of providing housing assistance, the purpose of NAHASDA is to provide Federal assistance for Indian tribes in a manner that recognizes the right of Indian self-determination and tribal self-governance while ensuring accountability for taxpayer funds. This rule finalizes the policies and procedures described in the July 2, 1997 proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposed rule.
