SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 26, 2021, President Biden issued a Presidential
Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation
Relationships.\1\ The memorandum directed all Federal agencies to take
actions to strengthen their Tribal consultation policies and practices
and to further the purposes of Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and
Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 15, 2021 (86 FR 63051), to enhance consultation and
collaboration with Tribal governments, HUD published a notice in the
Federal Register announcing its intention to establish its first Tribal
advisory committee known as the ``Tribal Intergovernmental Advisory
Committee'' (TIAC). The notice also solicited Tribal feedback on a
proposed TIAC structure and its functions. HUD received 12 written
comments representing many different perspectives, including Tribes,
Tribal leaders, Tribal housing employees, individuals, housing
authorities, and regional housing authorities in response to its
November 15, 2021 notice. In general, commenters were supportive of
establishing the TIAC.
These comments were reviewed and considered in revising the
proposed structure. On March 31, 2022 (87 FR 18807), HUD published a
notice in the Federal Register that announced the final structure of
the TIAC and requested the submission of Tribal nominations to the
TIAC. After HUD published a notice (June 28, 2022, 87 FR 38421)
reopening the request for nominations to request additional
nominations, HUD began to review all of the Tribal nominations for
selection.
II. The Tribal Intergovernmental Advisory Committee
Today's notice announces the membership of the TIAC. The purpose of
the TIAC is to further facilitate intergovernmental communication
between HUD and Tribal leaders of federally recognized Tribes on all
HUD programs, to make recommendations to HUD regarding current program
regulations that may require revision, as well as suggest rulemaking
methods to develop such changes, and to advise in the development of
HUD's American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) housing priorities. The
function of TIAC is not to replace Tribal consultation, but rather
serve as a tool to help supplement it.
In making the selections for membership on the TIAC, HUD's goal was
to establish a committee whose membership reflects a balanced
representation of Indian tribes. In addition to the Tribal
representatives on the committee, there will be several HUD
representatives, each representing various program offices, on the
committee.
HUD appreciate commenters who submitted names of Alternates. HUD is
only announcing Committee Members in today's Notice. However, each
Committee Member should have an eligible Alternate in queue in case the
Committee Member is unable to attend a particular committee meeting. As
a reminder, the Alternate must meet the same eligibility criteria
required of the selected Committee Member, specifically, that they must
be either a duly elected Tribal official or Tribal employee. The
Alternate cannot be a Tribally Designated Housing Entity employee. In
the absence of a Committee Member, the Alternate will have the same
rights, responsibilities, duties, and functions as a Committee Member
during meetings. Each Committee Member has the discretion to decide who
will best represent them in their absence. A Committee Member unable to
attend any session must inform HUD in writing with an original
signature as to whom they have selected to represent them and will
specify the term. HUD will review all Alternates before a meeting to
confirm that they

meet the eligibility criteria for Alternates specified by HUD.
