DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

List of Programs Eligible for Inclusion 

in Fiscal Year 2007 Funding 

Agreements To Be Negotiated With 

Self-Governance Tribes 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice lists programs or 

portions of programs that are eligible for 

inclusion in Fiscal Year 2007 funding 

agreements with self-governance tribes 

and lists programmatic targets pursuant 

to section 405(c)(4) of the Tribal SelfGovernance Act. 

DATES: This notice expires on 

September 30, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Inquiries or comments 

regarding this notice may be directed to 

the American Indian Liaison Office, 

1201 Eye Street, NW., (Org. 2560, 9th 

Floor), Washington, DC 20005. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Title II of the Indian SelfDetermination Act Amendments of 1994 

(Pub. L. 103–413, the ‘‘Tribal SelfGovernance Act’’ or the ‘‘Act’’) 

instituted a permanent self-governance 

program at the Department of the 

Interior (DOI). Under the selfgovernance program certain programs, 

services, functions, and activities, or 

portions thereof, in DOI bureaus other 

than the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 

are eligible to be planned, conducted, 

consolidated, and administered by a 

self-governance tribal government. 

Under section 405(c) of the Act, the 

Secretary of the Interior is required to 

publish annually: (1) A list of non-BIA 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities, or portions thereof, that are 

eligible for inclusion in agreements 

negotiated under the self-governance 

program; and (2) programmatic targets 

for these bureaus. 

Under the Act, two categories of nonBIA programs are eligible for selfgovernance funding agreements (AFAs): 

(1) Under section 403(b)(2) of the Act, 

any non-BIA program, service, function 

or activity that is administered by DOI 

that is ‘‘otherwise available to Indian 

tribes or Indians,’’ can be administered 

by a tribal government through a selfgovernance funding agreement. The 

Department interprets this provision to 

authorize the inclusion of programs 

eligible for self-determination contracts 

under Title I of the Indian SelfDetermination and Education 

Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93–638, as 

amended). Section 403(b)(2) also 

specifies ‘‘nothing in this subsection 

may be construed to provide any tribe 

with a preference with respect to the 

opportunity of the tribe to administer 

programs, services, functions and 

activities, or portions thereof, unless 

such preference is otherwise provided 

by law.’’

(2) Under section 403(c) of the Act, 

the Secretary may include other 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof that are of 

‘‘special geographic, historical, or 

cultural significance’’ to a selfgovernance tribe. 

Under section 403(k) of the Act, 

funding agreements cannot include 

programs, services, functions, or 

activities that are inherently Federal or 

where the statute establishing the 

existing program does not authorize the 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 72 / Monday, April 16, 2007 / Notices 19021 

type of participation sought by the tribe. 

However, a tribe (or tribes) need not be 

identified in the authorizing statutes in 

order for a program or element to be 

included in a self-governance funding 

agreement. While general legal and 

policy guidance regarding what 

constitutes an inherently Federal 

function exists, we will determine 

whether a specific function is inherently 

Federal on a case-by-case basis 

considering the totality of 

circumstances. 

Response to Comments 

The Office of Self-Governance 

requested comments on the proposed 

list on June 14, 2006. A number of 

editorial and technical changes were 

provided by Interior’s bureaus and 

incorporated into this Notice. While the 

Notice of June 14, 2006, illustrated all 

eligible non-BIA programs for DOI, this 

Notice is particular to the National Park 

Service. 

II. Eligible non-BIA Programs of the 

National Park Service 

Below is a listing of the types of nonBIA programs, or portions thereof, that 

may be eligible for self-governance 

funding agreements because they are 

either ‘‘otherwise available to Indians’’

under Title I and not precluded by any 

other law, or may have ‘‘special 

geographic, historical, or cultural 

significance’’ to a participating tribe. 

The list represents the most current 

information on programs potentially 

available to tribes under a selfgovernance funding agreement. 

The National Park Service will also 

consider for inclusion in funding 

agreements other programs or activities 

not included below, but which, upon 

request of a self-governance tribe, the 

National Park Service determines to be 

eligible under either sections 403(b)(2) 

or 403(c) of the Act. Tribes with an 

interest in such potential agreements are 

encouraged to begin such discussions. 

The National Park Service administers 

the National Park System, which is 

made up of national parks, monuments, 

historic sites, battlefields, seashores, 

lake shores, and recreation areas. The 

National Park Service maintains the 

park units, protects the natural and 

cultural resources, and conducts a range 

of visitor services such as law 

enforcement, park maintenance, and 

interpretation of geology, history, and 

natural and cultural resources. 

Some elements of the following 

programs may be eligible for inclusion 

in a self-governance funding agreement. 

This listing below was developed 

considering the proximity of an 

identified self-governance tribe to a 

national park, monument, preserve, or 

recreation area and the types of 

programs that have components that 

may be suitable for contracting through 

a self-governance agreement. This 

listing is not all-inclusive, but is 

representative of the types of programs 

which may be eligible for tribal 

participation through a funding 

agreement.
