SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

On October 12, 2012, the NRC 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register requesting comment on both 

the draft ‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual’’ and 

the proposed ‘‘Tribal Policy Statement’’ 

(77 FR 62269). The NRC received six 

comment letters on the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement’’ and the ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual.’’ The commenters included two 

Tribal governments, two mining 

associations, one inter-Tribal 

organization, and a Tribal college. The 

comments were grouped into seven 

topical areas: (1) NRC Tribal 

communication; (2) NRC Tribal 

consultation; (3) NRC Tribal resources; 

(4) terminology; (5) NRC map of Tribal 

reservations near nuclear reactors; (6) 

Federal-Tribal history; and (7) 

contemporary Tribal conditions. The 

NRC’s responses to these comments are 

available in ‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual: 

Guidance for NRC Staff—Comment 

Responses,’’ which is cited below. 

On January 9, 2017 (82 FR 2402), the 

NRC issued its ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement.’’ The ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual’’ has been revised to be 

consistent with the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement’’ and to reflect changes made 

in response to public comments. 

In response to public comments and 

the NRC’s work on the ‘‘Tribal Policy 

Statement,’’ the agency is revising the 

definition of ‘‘consultation.’’ In the 

‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual’’ (p. 16), 

‘‘consultation’’ is now defined as 

‘‘meaningful and timely discussion with 

Tribal governments on NRC regulatory 

actions that have substantial direct 

effects on one or more Indian Tribes and 

those regulatory actions for which 

Tribal consultation is required under 

Federal statute. The NRC’s Tribal 

consultation allows Indian Tribes the 

opportunity to provide input on 

regulatory actions with Tribal 

implications and those where Tribal 

consultation is required, and is different 

from the outreach and public comment 

periods.’’ 

The NRC revised the ‘‘Tribal Protocol 

Manual’’ to better address the unique 

relationship between the United States 

Government and Tribes and how the 

NRC exercises its trust responsibility. 

The NRC also made changes to the 

historical account of the Federal-Tribal 

relationship; specifically, the ‘‘Tribal 

Protocol Manual’’ now includes a 

general discussion that addresses the 

contributions of Treaties, policy, law, 

court decisions, and Executive Orders to 

Federal Indian law.
