Abstract: As codified in 25 U.S.C. 

4001 et seq., The American Indian Trust 

Fund Management Reform Act of 1994 

(the Reform Act) makes provisions for 

the Bureau of Trust Funds 

Administration (formerly known as the 

Office of the Special Trustee for 

American Indians) to administer trust 

fund accounts for individuals and 

Tribes. This collection of information is 

required to fulfill the mission of the 

Bureau of Trust Funds Administration 

(BTFA) and the Secretary of the 

Interior’s responsibility for evaluating 

all Public Law 93–638 Compact Tribes 

administering or managing trust 

programs, functions, services, and/or 

activities on behalf of the Secretary of 

the Interior. This responsibility is 

federally mandated pursuant to 25 

U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CFR 1000.350. 

BTFA is responsible under 25 U.S.C. 

4041 for overseeing the implementation 

of trust reforms, trust accounting, and 

coordination of trust policies intrabureau-wide related to the management 

of Indian trust funds and assets. The 

BTFA, Division of Trust Evaluation and 

Review (DTER), formerly the Office of 

Trust Audit and Review (OTRA), is 

responsible for conducting tribal trust 

evaluations on Tribes performing Indian 

trust programs and functions pursuant 

to a Tribal Self-Governance Compact or 

Annual Funding Agreement. In 

addition, DTER has a congressional 

mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust 

Evaluations for Tribes that compact 

trust programs, functions, services, and/ 

or activities under Public Law 93–638

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 14, 2025 / Notices 3245 

Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of 

the Secretary of the Interior. This 

authority is contained in 25 U.S.C. 

5363(d)(1) & (2) and the enabling 

regulations in 25 CFR 1000.350. DTER 

currently collects Indian trust data and 

documentation from Tribes in 

fulfillment of performing the Tribal trust 

evaluations for compacted Tribes. These 

evaluations are enabled by performing 

desk reviews (via email electronic 

questionnaires), and on-site visits to 

Tribes. 

Under 25 CFR 1000.355, the 

Secretary’s designated representative 

will conduct trust evaluations for each 

self-governance Tribe that has an annual 

funding agreement. The end result is the 

issuance of a report, which is required 

by 25 CFR 1000.365. Currently, DTER 

conducts either desk reviews and/or onsite reviews of trust operations where a 

Tribe has compacted a trust program. 

During that review, under current 

methodology, interviews are conducted 

and documents are requested. A draft 

report is written and provided to the 

Tribe for comment where applicable. 

Comments received back are 

incorporated into the report, and a final 

report is issued to the Tribe.
