Title: Procedures for Federal Acknowledgment of Indian Tribes | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule would respond to recent Federal court decisions holding that the Department did not adequately explain its regulations prohibiting previously denied petitioners for Federal acknowledgment from petitioning again. The Department sought Tribal government input through communication under Executive Order 13175 criteria and the Department’s consultation policy on meaningful communication and collaboration with tribal officials. The Department held two consultation sessions on August 19, 2024, and September 3, 2024, with federally recognized Indian Tribes and one listening session on September 5, 2024, for present, former, and prospective petitioners. In the final rule phase, the Department will respond to comments received and make revisions as deemed appropriate. |
