SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
PROGRESS Act, the Negotiated Rulemaking Act, and the Federal Advisory
Committee Act. The Committee is to negotiate and reach consensus on
recommendations for a proposed rule that will replace the existing
regulations at 25 CFR part 1000. The Committee will be charged with
developing proposed regulations for the Secretary's implementation of
the PROGRESS Act's provisions regarding the DOI's Self-Governance
Program. See Public Law 116-180.
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 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. The Federal Register notice published on May 18, 2022
(87 FR 30256) discussed the issues to be negotiated and the members of
the Committee.
