tribe’s BIA Agency office. Two printed 

and two digital copies will then reside 

with DEMD. These copies should be 

forwarded to the DEMD offices in 

Lakewood, Colorado, to the attention of 

the Energy and Mineral Development 

Program. 

All products generated by EMDP 

studies may be subject to release under 

FOIA, as noted above. Products include 

all reports and technical data obtained 

during the study such as geophysical 

data, geochemical analyses, core data, 

lithologic logs, assay data of samples 

tested, results of special tests, maps and 

cross sections, status reports and the 

final report. 

J. Requests for Technical Assistance 

The DEMD staff may provide 

technical consultation (i.e., work 

directly with tribal staff on a proposed 

project), provide support documentation 

and data, provide written language on 

specialized sections of the proposal and 

suggest ways a tribe may obtain other 

assistance, such as from a company or 

consultant specializing in a particular 

area of expertise. However, the tribe is 

responsible for preparing the executive 

summary, justification and scope of 

work for their proposal. 

The tribe must notify DEMD in 

writing that they require assistance, and 

DEMD will then appoint staff to provide 

the requested assistance. The tribe’s 

request must clearly specify the type of 

technical assistance desired. 

Requests for technical assistance 

should be submitted by the deadline 

stated in the DATES section for such 

requests to allow DEMD time to provide 

the appropriate assistance. Tribes not 

seeking technical assistance should 

attempt to submit their EMDP proposals 

well in advance of the deadline to allow 

DEMD time to review the proposals for 

possible deficiencies and allow ample 

time to contact the tribe with requests 

for revisions to the initial submission.
