Justice.
ACTION: Notice of renewal of charter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The charter of the Task Force on Research on Violence Against
American Indian and Alaska Native Women (hereinafter ``the Task
Force'') has been reestablished.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sherriann C. Moore, Deputy Director,
Tribal Affairs Division, Office on Violence Against Women, United
States Department of Justice, 145 N Street NE, Suite 10W.121,
Washington, DC 20530, (202) 307-6026.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority for the Task Force is found in
section 904(a)(3) of the Violence Against Women Act of 2005 (VAWA
2005), Public Law 109-162 (codified at 34 U.S.C. 10452 note) as amended
by Section 907(a) of the Violence Against
[[Page 65400]]
Women Reauthorization Act, Public Law 113-4. The Task Force operates
under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, as
amended (codified at 5 U.S.C. chapter 10).
The Deputy Attorney General has determined that the reestablishment
of the Task Force is necessary and in the public interest and will
provide information that will assist the National Institute of Justice
(NIJ) to develop and implement a program of research on violence
against American Indian and Alaska Native women, including domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, murder and sex
trafficking. The research will evaluate the effectiveness of the
Federal, State, and Tribal response to violence against American Indian
and Alaska Native women and will propose recommendations to improve
these responses. Title IX of VAWA 2005 also required the Attorney
General to establish a Task Force to assist NIJ with development of the
research study and the implementation of the recommendations.
The Attorney General, acting through the Director of the Office on
Violence Against Women, originally established the Task Force on March
31, 2008. The charter to reestablish the Task Force was filed with the
Agency on June 18, 2024 and was filed with Congress on July 11, 2024.
The charter was re-filed with Congress with a technical amendment on
July 29, 2024. The Task Force is comprised of representatives from
national Tribal domestic violence and sexual assault nonprofit
organizations, Tribal governments, and national Tribal organizations.
Task Force members, with the exception of travel and per diem for
official travel, shall serve without compensation.
The Deputy Director, Tribal Affairs Division, Office on Violence
Against Women, shall serve as the Designated Federal officer for the
Task Force.
Rosemarie Hidalgo,
Director, Office on Violence Against Women.
