List of Programs Eligible for Inclusion 

in Funding Agreements Negotiated 

With Self-Governance Tribes by 

Interior Bureaus Other Than the 

Bureau of Indian Affairs and Fiscal 

Year 2022 Programmatic Targets 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice lists programs or 

portions of programs that are eligible for 

inclusion in self-governance funding 

agreements with Indian Tribes and lists 

Fiscal Year 2022 programmatic targets 

for each of the non-Bureau of Indian 

Affairs (BIA) bureaus in the Department 

of the Interior (Department), pursuant to 

Title IV of the Indian Self-Determination 

and Education Assistance Act (Act), as 

amended. 

DATES: These programs are eligible for 

inclusion in self-governance funding 

agreements until September 30, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Inquiries or comments 

regarding this notice may be directed to 

Ms. Sharee M. Freeman, Director, Office 

of Self-Governance (MS 3624–MIB), 

1849 C Street NW, Washington, DC 

20240–0001, telephone: (202) 219–0240, 

fax: (202) 219–4246, or to the bureauspecific points of contact listed below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Kenneth D. Reinfeld, Office of SelfGovernance, telephone: (202) 821–7107 

or Vickie Hanvey, Office of Self 

Governance, telephone (918) 931–0745. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Title IV of the Act instituted a 

permanent self-governance program at 

the Department. Under the selfgovernance program, certain programs, 

services, functions, and activities, or 

portions thereof, in Department bureaus 

other than BIA are eligible to be 

planned, conducted, consolidated, and 

administered by a self-governance Tribe. 

Under section 412(c) of the Act, the 

Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) 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 selfgovernance program and (2) 

programmatic targets for non-BIA 

bureaus. 

Two categories of non-BIA programs 

are eligible for self-governance funding 

agreements: 

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

any non-BIA program, service, function, 

or activity that is administered by the 

Department that is ‘‘otherwise available 

to Indian tribes or Indians,’’ can be 

administered by a Tribe 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 Act. 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

7202 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2022 / Notices 

thereof, unless such preference is 

otherwise provided for 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 

type of participation sought by the 

Tribe. However, an Indian Tribe (or 

Tribes) need not be identified in the 

authorizing statutes in order for a 

program or element of program to be 

included in a self-governance funding 

agreement. While general legal and 

policy guidance regarding what 

constitutes an inherently Federal 

function exists, the non-BIA bureaus 

will determine whether a specific 

function is inherently Federal on a caseby-case basis considering the totality of 

circumstances. 

Subpart G of the self-governance 

regulations found at 25 CFR part 1000 

provides the process and timelines for 

negotiating self-governance funding 

agreements with non-BIA bureaus.

III. Eligible Programs of the Department 

of the Interior Non-BIA Bureaus 

Below is a listing by bureau of the 

types of non-BIA programs, or portions 

thereof, that may be eligible for selfgovernance funding agreements because 

they are either ‘‘otherwise available to 

Indians’’ under Title I of the Act 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 

self-governance funding agreement. 

The Department will also consider for 

inclusion in funding agreements other 

programs or activities not listed below, 

but which, upon request of a selfgovernance Tribe, the Department 

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 

discussions with the appropriate nonBIA bureau. 

A. Eligible Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) Programs 

The BLM carries out some of its 

activities in the management of public 

lands through contracts and cooperative 

agreements. These and other activities, 

depending upon availability of funds, 

the need for specific services, and the 

self-governance Tribe’s demonstration 

of a special geographic, cultural, or 

historical connection, may also be 

available for inclusion in selfgovernance funding agreements. Once a 

Tribe has made initial contact with the 

BLM, more specific information will be 

provided by the respective BLM State 

office. 

Some elements of the following 

programs may be eligible for inclusion 

in a self-governance funding agreement. 

This listing is not all-inclusive, but is 

representative of the types of programs 

that may be eligible for Tribal 

participation through a funding 

agreement: 

Tribal Services 

1. Minerals Management Inspection, 

enforcement and production verification 

of Indian coal and sand and gravel 

operations are already available for 

contracts under Title I of the Act and, 

therefore, may be available for inclusion 

in a funding agreement. In addition, in 

a study conducted pursuant to 

Secretarial order 3377, the Office of the 

Solicitor determined that the following 

functions are available for inclusion in 

a funding agreement: Inspection and 

enforcement of Indian oil and gas 

operations, determining trust land 

locations; approving Applications for 

Permits to Drill; securing and enforcing 

bonds (for surface of spill estate), and 

providing mineral assessments and 

valuation. 

2. Cadastral Survey. Tribal and 

allottee cadastral survey services are 

already available for contracts under 

Title I of the Act and, therefore, may be 

available for inclusion in a funding 

agreement. 

Other Activities 

1. Cultural heritage. Cultural heritage 

activities, such as research and 

inventory, may be available in specific 

States. 

2. Natural Resources Management. 

Activities such as silvicultural 

treatments, timber management, cultural 

resource management, watershed 

restoration, environmental studies, tree 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2022 / Notices 7203 

planting, thinning, and similar work, 

may be available in specific States. 

3. Range Management. Activities, 

such as revegetation, noxious weed 

control, fencing, construction and 

management of range improvements, 

grazing management experiments, range 

monitoring, and similar activities, may 

be available in specific States. 

4. Riparian Management. Activities, 

such as facilities construction, erosion 

control, rehabilitation, and other similar 

activities, may be available in specific 

States. 

5. Recreation Management. Activities, 

such as facilities construction and 

maintenance, interpretive design and 

construction, and similar activities may 

be available in specific States. 

6. Wildlife and Fisheries Habitat 

Management. Activities, such as 

construction and maintenance, 

implementation of statutory, regulatory 

and policy or administrative plan-based 

species protection, interpretive design 

and construction, and similar activities 

may be available in specific States. 

7. Wild Horse Management. 

Activities, such as wild horse roundups, adoption and disposition, 

including operation and maintenance of 

wild horse facilities, may be available in 

specific States.

Bureau of Land Management (WO–240), 

Bureau of Land Management, 1849 C 

Street NW, Washington, DC 20240, 

telephone (202) 912–7240, fax (202) 

452–7701. 

B. Eligible Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) Programs 

The mission of Reclamation is to 

manage, develop, and protect water and 

related resources in an environmentally 

and economically sound manner in the 

interest of the American public. To this 

end, most of Reclamation’s activities 

involve the construction, operation and 

maintenance, and management of water 

resources projects and associated 

facilities, as well as research and 

development related to its 

responsibilities. Reclamation water 

resources projects provide water for 

agricultural, municipal and industrial 

water supplies; hydroelectric power 

generation; flood control, enhancement 

of fish and wildlife habitats; and 

outdoor recreation. 

Components of the following water 

resource projects listed below may be 

eligible for inclusion in a selfgovernance annual funding agreement. 

This list was developed with 

consideration of the proximity of 

identified self-governance Tribes to 

Reclamation projects. 

1. Klamath Project, California and 

Oregon 

2. Trinity River Fishery, California 

3. Central Arizona Project, Arizona 

4. Indian Water Rights Settlement 

Projects, as authorized by Congress 

Upon the request of a self-governance 

Tribe, Reclamation will also consider 

for inclusion in funding agreements 

other programs or activities which 

Reclamation determines to be eligible 

under Section 403(b)(2) or 403(c) of the 

Act. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Mr. Kelly Titensor, 

Native American Affairs Advisor, Native 

American and International Affairs 

Office, Bureau of Reclamation (96– 

43000) (MS 7069–MIB); 1849 C Street 

NW, Washington, DC 20240, telephone: 

(202) 513–0558, fax: (202) 513–0311. 

C. Eligible Office of Natural Resources 

Revenue (ONRR) Programs 

The Office of Natural Resources 

Revenue (ONRR) collects, accounts for, 

and distributes mineral revenues from 

both Federal and Indian mineral leases. 

The ONRR also evaluates industry 

compliance with laws, regulations, and 

lease terms, and offers mineral-owning 

Tribes opportunities to become involved 

in its programs that address the intent 

of Tribal self-governance. These 

programs are available to selfgovernance Tribes and are a good 

preparation for assuming other technical 

functions. Generally, ONRR program 

functions are available to Tribes because 

of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty 

Management Act of 1983 (FOGRMA) at 

30 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. The ONRR 

promotes Tribal self-governance and 

self-determination over trust lands and 

resources through the following 

program functions that may be available 

to self-governance Tribes: 

1. Audit of Tribal Royalty Payments. 

Audit activities for Tribal leases, except 

for the issuance of orders, final 

valuation decisions, and other 

enforcement activities. (For Tribes 

already participating in ONRR 

cooperative audits, this program is 

offered as an option.) 

2. Verification of Tribal Royalty 

Payments. Financial compliance 

verification, monitoring activities, and 

production verification. 

3. Tribal Royalty Reporting, 

Accounting, and Data Management. 

Establishment and management of 

royalty reporting and accounting 

systems including document processing, 

production reporting, reference data 

(lease, payor, agreement) management, 

billing and general ledger. 

4. Tribal Royalty Valuation. 

Preliminary analysis and 

recommendations for valuation, and 

allowance determinations and 

approvals. 

5. Royalty Internship Program. An 

orientation and training program for 

auditors and accountants from mineralproducing Tribes to acquaint Tribal staff 

with royalty laws, procedures, and 

techniques. This program is 

recommended for Tribes that are 

considering a self-governance funding 

agreement, but have not yet acquired 

mineral revenue expertise via a 30 

U.S.C. 1732 cooperative agreement 

(FOGRMA Pub. L. 97–451, Section 202), 

as this term is defined in FOGRMA and 

implementing regulations at 30 CFR 

228.4. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Heidi Badaracco, 

Program Manager, Indian Trust, 

Outreach & Coordination for the Office 

of Natural Resources Revenue, P.O. Box 

25165, Building 85, Denver, Colorado 

80225–0165, telephone: (303) 231–3434. 

D. Eligible National Park Service (NPS) 

Programs 

NPS administers the National Park 

System, which is made up of national 

parks, monuments, historic sites, 

battlefields, seashores, lake shores and 

recreation areas. NPS 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 list 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 administering 

through a self-governance funding 

agreement. This list is not all-inclusive, 

but is representative of the types of 

programs which may be eligible for 

Tribal participation through funding 

agreements.

E. Eligible Fish and Wildlife Service 

(Service) Programs 

The mission of the Service is to 

conserve, protect, and enhance fish, 

wildlife, and their habitats for the 

continuing benefit of the American 

people. Primary responsibilities are for 

migratory birds, endangered species, 

freshwater and anadromous fisheries, 

and certain marine mammals. The 

Service also has a continuing 

cooperative relationship with a number 

of Indian Tribes throughout the National 

Wildlife Refuge System and the 

Service’s fish hatcheries. Any selfgovernance Tribe may contact a 

National Wildlife Refuge or National 

Fish Hatchery directly concerning 

participation in Service programs under 

the Tribal Self-Governance Act. This list 

is not all-inclusive, but is representative 

of the types of Service programs that 

may be eligible for Tribal participation 

through an annual funding agreement. 

1. Subsistence Programs within the 

State of Alaska. Evaluate and analyze 

data for annual subsistence regulatory 

cycles and other data trends related to 

subsistence harvest needs and facilitate 

Tribal Consultation to ensure ANILCA 

Title VII terms are being met, as well as 

activities fulfilling the terms of Title VIII 

of ANILCA. 

2. Technical Assistance, Restoration 

and Conservation. Conduct planning 

and implementation of population 

surveys, habitat surveys, restoration of 

sport fish, capture of depredating 

migratory birds, and habitat restoration 

activities. 

3. Endangered Species Programs. 

Conduct activities associated with the 

conservation and recovery of threatened 

or endangered species protected under 

the Endangered Species Act (ESA) or 

candidate species under the ESA. These 

activities may include, but are not 

limited to, cooperative conservation 

programs, development of recovery 

plans and implementation of recovery

F. Eligible U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) Programs 

The mission of the USGS is to collect, 

analyze, and provide information on 

biology, geology, hydrology, and 

geography that contributes to the wise 

management of the Nation’s natural 

resources and to the health, safety, and 

well-being of the American people. This 

information is usually publicly available 

and includes maps, data bases, and 

descriptions and analyses of the water, 

plants, animals, energy, and mineral 

resources, land surface, underlying 

geologic structure, and dynamic 

processes of the earth. The USGS does 

not manage lands or resources. Selfgovernance Tribes may potentially assist 

the USGS in the data acquisition and 

analysis components of its activities. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Chris Hammond, 

Head, Office of Tribal Relations and 

Manager, U.S. Geological Survey, 12201 

Sunrise Valley Drive, Reston, Virginia 

20192, telephone 703–648–6621. 

G. Eligible Office of the Special Trustee 

for American Indians (OST) Programs 

The Department has responsibility for 

what may be the largest land trust in the 

world, approximately 56 million acres. 

At the beginning of fiscal year 2021, the 

Bureau of Trust Funds Administration 

(BTFA) assumed the fiduciary functions 

previously managed by OST. 

Established by the American Indian 

Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 

1994, OST worked to improve 

accountability and management of 

Indian assets through oversight, reform, 

and coordination of Federal Policy. OST 

oversees the management of Indian trust 

assets, including income generated from 

leasing and other commercial activities 

on Indian trust lands, by maintaining, 

investing and disbursing Indian trust 

financial assets, and reporting on these 

transactions. The mission of the OST is 

to serve Indian communities by 

fulfilling Indian fiduciary trust 

responsibilities. This is to be 

accomplished through the 

implementation of a Comprehensive 

Trust Management Plan (CTM) that is 

designed to improve trust beneficiary 

services, ownership information, 

management of trust fund assets, and 

self-governance activities. 

A Tribe operating under selfgovernance may include the following 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof in a 

funding agreement: 

1. Beneficiary Processes Program 

(Individual Indian Money Accounting 

Technical Functions) 

The MOU between the Tribe/ 

Consortium and OST outlines the roles 

and responsibilities for the performance 

of the OST program by the Tribe/ 

Consortium. If those roles and 

responsibilities are already fully 

specified in the existing funding 

agreement with the OSG, an MOU is not 

necessary. To the extent that the parties 

desire specific program standards, an 

MOU will be negotiated between the 

Tribe/Consortium and OST, which will 

be binding on both parties and attached 

and incorporated into the OSG funding 

agreement. 

If a Tribe/Consortium decides to 

assume the operation of an OST 

program, the new funding for 

performing that program will come from 

OST program dollars. A Tribe’s newlyassumed operation of the OST 

program(s) will be reflected in the 

Tribe’s OSG funding agreement.

Affairs, Office of the Special Trustee for

H. Eligible Appraisal and Valuation 

Services Office Programs 

The Appraisal and Valuation Services 

Office (AVSO), established on March 19, 

2018 by Secretarial Order No. 3363, 

provides appraisal, valuation, mineral 

evaluation, and real property consulting 

expertise to Indian beneficiaries, federal 

clients and other stakeholders in 

accordance with the highest 

professional and ethical standards. 

AVSO is responsible for all real 

property appraisal and valuation 

services within the Department of the 

Interior as well as conducting mineral 

economic evaluations to the following 

bureau clients: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Bureau of Indian Education, Bureau of 

Land Management, Bureau of 

Reclamation, Office of the Special 

Trustee for American Indians (now 

known as the Bureau of Trust Funds 

Administration), US Fish and Wildlife 

Service, and the National Park Service. 

Within AVSO are four land valuation 

divisions; Indian Trust Property 

Valuation Division, Land Buy-Back 

Program Valuation Division, Division of 

Minerals Evaluation and Federal Land 

Division. 

The MOU between the Tribe/ 

Consortium and AVSO outlines the 

roles and responsibilities for the 

performance of the AVSO program by 

the Tribe/Consortium. An MOU will be 

negotiated between the Tribe/ 

Consortium and AVSO, which will be 

binding on both parties and attached 

and incorporated into the OSG funding 

agreement. 

If a Tribe/Consortium decides to 

assume the operation of an AVSO 

program, the new funding for 

performing that program will come from 

AVSO program dollars. A Tribe’s newlyassumed operation of an AVSO program 

will be reflected in the Tribe’s OSG 

funding agreement. 

For questions regarding the 

assumption of an AVSO program under 

self-governance, contact Eldred F.

Appraisal and Valuation Services 

Office, 4400 Masthead Street NE,

IV. Programmatic Targets 

The programmatic target for Fiscal 

Year 2022 provides that, upon request of 

a self-governance Tribe, each non-BIA 

bureau will negotiate funding 

agreements for its eligible programs 

beyond those already negotiated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 

information collections require approval 

under the PRA. We may not conduct, or 

sponsor and you are not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies to comment on new, 

proposed, revised, and continuing 

collections of information. This helps us 

assess the impact of our information 

collection requirements and minimize 

the public’s reporting burden. It also 

helps the public understand our 

information collection requirements and 

provide the requested data in the 

desired format. 

We are especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether or not the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether or not the 

information will have practical utility. 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used. 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected. 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including through the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

email address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

Abstract: The NPS is authorized by 

the National Park Service Protection, 

Interpretation, and Research in System 

(54 U.S.C. 100701) statutes to collect 

information used to enhance the 

management and planning of parks and 

their resources. The NPS Social Science 

Program (SSP) relies heavily on this 

generic approval to submit survey 

requests to OMB in an expedited 

manner. This process significantly 

streamlines the information collection 

process a manner that allows the NPS to 

submit at least 25 requests per year,
