Statutory Authority and Function: NACIE is a statutorily authorized

created via the Indian Education Act of 1972 (IEA) and reauthorized via
the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as amended. The
duties of NACIE (20 U.S.C. 7471) are to:
(A) Advise both the Secretary of Education and the Secretary of the
Interior concerning the funding and administration (including
development of regulations, administrative policies, and practices) of
any program that includes Indian children or adults as participants or
beneficiaries.
(B) Make recommendations to the Secretary of Education for filling
the position of Office of Indian Education (OIE) Director whenever a
vacancy occurs.
(C) Submit an annual report to Congress every year no later than
June 30; regarding the activities of NACIE and include any
recommendations for the improvement of Federal education programs that
include Indian children or adults as participants or beneficiaries; and
funding recommendations.
In addition, Section 6141(a) of the ESEA requires that nominations
are furnished, from time to time, by Indian Tribes and Indian
Organizations; and must represent different geographic areas of the
United States. Section 2 of the NACIE Improvement Act (NIA) requires
that one member must be a president of a Tribal College or University
as defined in 20 U.S.C. 1059c(b). NACIE members will serve as
[[Page 33935]]
Special Government Employees (SGEs), as defined in 18 U.S.C. 202(a). As
SGEs, members are selected for their individual experience, integrity,
impartiality, and good judgment. The President or his delegate shall
appoint a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson from among the members.
NACIE members may receive reimbursement for travel expenses incident to
attending NACIE meetings, including per diem, as authorized by 5 U.S.C.
5703 for persons intermittently employed in the government service.
NACIE is governed by provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act

standards for the formation and use of advisory committees.
