SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
authority of the PROGRESS Act (Pub. L. 116-180), the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act (5 U.S.C. 561 et seq.), and the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 10). 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 Department of the Interior's (DOI) 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
