SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Consistent with Executive Order 

13175,1 HUD’s Tribal Government-toGovernment Consultation Policy 

recognizes the right of Indian tribes to 

self-governance and supports Tribal 

sovereignty and self-determination.2 It 

provides that HUD will engage in 

regular and meaningful consultation 

and collaboration with Tribal officials in 

the development of Federal policies that 

have Tribal implications. Executive 

Order 13175 also requires Federal 

agencies to advance Tribal selfgovernance and ensure that the rights of 

sovereign Tribal governments are fully

Intergovernmental Advisory Committee; Request for 

Comments on Committee Structure, 81 FR 40899 

(June 23, 2016). 

4Establishment of Tribal Intergovernmental 

Advisory Committee; Request for Nominations for 

Tribal Intergovernmental Membership, 81 FR 93700 

(December 21, 2016). 

5The memorandum was published in the Federal 

Register on January 29, 2021 (86 FR 7491). 

respected by conducting open and 

candid consultations. 

In 2016, in furtherance of Executive 

Order 13175, HUD proposed the 

establishment of a TIAC. On June 23, 

2016, HUD published a Federal Register 

Notice seeking comments on the 

structure of the proposed TIAC.3 On 

December 21, 2016, HUD published a 

second Federal Register Notice 

announcing the establishment of the 

TIAC and requesting nominations from 

duly elected or appointed Tribal leaders 

to serve on the TIAC.4 HUD received 

nominations from various Tribes but did 

not receive an adequate number of 

nominations to fully constitute the 

TIAC. Accordingly, HUD did not 

complete the establishment of the TIAC 

at that time. 

On January 26, 2021, President Biden 

issued a Presidential Memorandum on 

Tribal Consultation and Strengthening 

Nation-to-Nation Relationships.5 The 

memorandum directed all Federal 

agencies to take actions to strengthen 

their Tribal consultation policies and 

practices and to further the purposes of 

Executive Order 13175. 

To further enhance consultation and 

collaboration with Tribal governments, 

HUD is once again proposing to 

establish the TIAC. Several Federal 

agencies have established similar Tribal 

advisory committees. These advisory 

committees convene periodically during 

the year to exchange information with 

agency staff, notify Tribal leaders of 

activities or policies that could affect 

Tribes, and provide guidance on 

consultation. HUD has determined that 

a similar advisory committee would 

provide critical support to the 

Department as it formulates policies 

having a direct impact on Tribes/ 

Tribally Designated Housing Entities 

(TDHEs). The formation of the TIAC 

would also assist the Department in 

carrying out its responsibilities under 

the Presidential Memorandum on Tribal 

Consultation and Strengthening Nationto-Nation Relationships. 

On November 15, 2021, HUD 

published a notice in the Federal 

Register soliciting Tribal feedback on a 

proposed TIAC. HUD proposed how the 

TIAC would be structured and how it 

would function. HUD received written 

comments from 12 different commenters 

submitted via regulations.gov. The 

commenters included Tribes, Tribal 

leaders, Tribal housing employees, 

Tribal housing authorities, regional 

housing authorities, and Tribal 

individuals, and represented many 

different perspectives. Overall, 

commenters were supportive of 

establishing the TIAC. Commenters 

submitted feedback with respect to 

many topics, including: 

• Number of Tribal representatives on 

the committee; 

• Eligibility criteria for Tribal 

representatives; 

• Ensuring that the TIAC does not 

supplant negotiated rulemaking 

committees in the future or negatively 

impact other Tribal consultation 

practices; 

• Length of a representative’s tenure; 

• Experience with housing; 

• What source of funding would be 

used to support TIAC. 

HUD reviewed all comments and took 

them into consideration when 

establishing the structure of the TIAC. 

HUD thanks all commenters for their 

thoughtful feedback. 

This notice announces the structure of 

the TIAC (informed by Tribal feedback) 

and solicits nominations for Tribal 

representatives of the committee. 

II. Nominations for TIAC 

Representation 

HUD is requesting nominations for 

Tribal representatives to serve on the 

TIAC. Nominations are due on or before: 

May 31, 2022. If you are interested in 

serving as a representative of the 

Committee or in nominating another 

person to serve as a representative of the 

Committee, you may submit a 

nomination to HUD in accordance with 

the Electronic Submission of 

Nominations section of this notice. Your 

nomination for representation on the 

Committee must include: 

1. The name of the nominee, a 

description of the interests the nominee 

would represent, and a description of 

the nominee’s experience and interest in 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

housing and community development 

matters; 

2. Evidence that the nominee is a duly 

elected or appointed Tribal leader and 

is authorized to represent a federally 

recognized tribal government or Alaska 

Native Corporation; 

3. A written commitment from the 

nominee that she or he will actively 

engage and participate in the Committee 

meetings; and 

4. A written preference for serving 

either a two- or a three-year term on the 

TIAC. HUD will appoint the 

representatives of the TIAC from the 

pool of nominees submitted in response 

to this notice. HUD will announce the 

final selections for TIAC representatives 

in a subsequent Federal Register notice. 

Representatives will be selected based 

on proven experience and interest in 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

(AIAN) housing and community 

development matters and whether the 

interest of the proposed representative 

could be represented adequately by 

other representatives. In addition to the 

criteria above, at-large representatives 

will be selected based on their ability to 

represent specific interests that might 

not be represented by the selected 

regional representatives. 

Generally, only elected officers of a 

tribal government acting in their official 

capacities with authority to act on 

behalf of the tribal government may 

serve as TIAC representatives or 

alternates of the TIAC. 

Tribal employees are also eligible to 

serve if appointed by a duly elected 

tribal leader of a federally recognized 

tribe and are authorized to officially act 

on the Tribal government’s behalf. 

Elected officials representing Alaska 

Native Corporations, or designated 

employees, may also serve on TIAC at 

HUD’s discretion provided they 

demonstrate that they meet the criteria 

specified in the statutory exemption to 

the Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) found in the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) at 2 

U.S.C. 1534(b). 

Because the TIAC will operate under 

the Tribal government statutory 

exemption to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) found in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) at 2 U.S.C. 1534(b), HUD will 

not consider nominees solely 

representing Tribally Designated 

Housing Entities, state recognized 

Tribes, or national or regional 

organizations. However, HUD will 

consider nominations from associations 

that represent elected officials of Tribes 

who have been designated by an elected 

Tribal leader to participate in TIAC. 

III. Structure of the TIAC 

A. Purpose and Role of the TIAC 

The purposes of the TIAC are: 

(1) To further facilitate 

intergovernmental communication 

between HUD and Tribal leaders of 

federally recognized Tribes on all HUD 

programs; 

(2) To make recommendations to HUD 

regarding current program regulations 

that may require revision, as well as 

suggest rulemaking methods to develop 

such changes. The TIAC will not, 

however, negotiate any changes to 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 62 / Thursday, March 31, 2022 / Notices 18809 

regulations that are subject to negotiated 

rulemaking under Section 106 of the 

Native American Housing Assistance 

and Self-Determination Act 

(NAHASDA) and will not serve in place 

of any future negotiated rulemaking 

committee established by HUD; and 

(3) To advise in the development of 

HUD’s AIAN housing priorities. 

The role of the TIAC is to provide 

recommendations and input to HUD, 

and to provide a vehicle for regular, 

meaningful consultation and 

collaboration with Tribal officials. It 

will not replace other means of Tribal 

consultations, but, rather, will 

supplement them. HUD will maintain 

the responsibility to exercise program 

management, including the drafting of 

HUD notices, guidance documents, and 

regulations. 

B. Charter and Protocols 

The TIAC will develop its own ruling 

charter and protocols. HUD will provide 

staff support to the TIAC to act as a 

liaison between TIAC and HUD 

officials, manage meeting logistics, and 

provide general support for TIAC 

activities. 

C. Meetings and Participation 

Subject to availability of Federal 

funding, the TIAC will meet 

periodically to discuss agency policies 

and activities with HUD, set shared 

priorities, and facilitate further 

consultation with Tribal representatives. 

Initially, meetings will likely be 

conducted virtually, but may be in 

person in the future, and will be 

conducted consistent with any COVID– 

19 safety protocols. HUD will pay for 

these meetings, including the 

representative’s cost to travel to these 

meetings. The TIAC may also agree to 

meet virtually outside of formal 

meetings, via conference calls, 

videoconferences, or through other 

forms of communication. Additional inperson meetings may be scheduled at 

HUD’s discretion in the future. 

Participation at TIAC meetings will be 

limited to TIAC representatives or their 

alternates. Alternates must be 

designated in writing by the 

representative’s Tribal government to 

officially act on their behalf. TIAC 

representatives may bring one technical 

advisor to the meeting at their expense. 

The technical advisor can advise the 

representative but cannot speak in the 

representative’s place. Meeting 

summaries may be available on the HUD 

website. 

D. TIAC Representation 

The TIAC will be comprised of HUD 

representatives and Tribal 

representatives from across the country, 

representing small, medium, and large 

tribes. The TIAC will be composed of 

HUD officials (including the Secretary 

or his or her designee, as well as the 

Assistant Secretaries for Office of Public 

and Indian Housing (PIH), Office of 

Policy, Development, and Research 

(PD&R), Office of Fair Housing and 

Equal Opportunity (FHEO), Office of 

Field Policy Management (FPM), Office 

of Housing (FHA), Government National 

Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), and 

Office of Community Planning and 

Development (CPD) or their designees) 

and up to fifteen Tribal representatives. 

Up to two Tribal representatives will 

represent each of the six HUD ONAP 

regions. Up to three remaining Tribal 

representatives will serve at-large. 

Generally, only elected officers of a 

tribal government acting in their official 

capacities or designated employees of 

tribal governments with authority to act 

on behalf of the tribal government may 

serve as TIAC representatives or 

alternates of the TIAC. Elected officials 

representing Alaska Native 

Corporations, or designated employees, 

may also serve on TIAC at HUD’s 

discretion provided they demonstrate 

that they meet the criteria specified in 

the statutory exemption to the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) found 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) at 2 U.S.C. 1534(b). The 

Secretary of HUD will appoint the HUD 

representatives of the TIAC. TIAC Tribal 

representatives will serve a term of two 

years. To ensure consistency between 

Tribal terms, representatives will have a 

staggered term of appointment. In order 

to establish a staggered term of 

appointment, half of the Tribal 

representatives appointed in the 

inaugural year of the TIAC will serve 

two years and the other half will serve 

three years. Tribal representatives must 

designate their preference to serve two 

or three years; however, HUD will make 

the final determination on which Tribal 

representatives will serve two or three 

years. Once these Tribal representatives 

complete these initial terms, future 

Tribal representatives will serve terms 

that last two years. Should a 

representative’s tenure as a Tribal leader 

come to an end during their 

appointment to the TIAC, the 

representative’s Tribe will nominate a 

replacement, if not the already 

nominated alternate. 

E. Function 

The establishment of the TIAC is 

intended to enhance government-togovernment relationships, 

communications, and mutual 

cooperation between HUD and Tribes. It 

is not intended to, and will not, create 

any right to administrative or judicial 

review, or any other right or benefit or 

trust responsibility, substantive or 

procedural, enforceable by a party 

against the United States, its agencies or 

instrumentalities, its officers or 

employees, or any other persons.
