Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 28 / Wednesday, February 12, 2025 / Notices 9435 

In 1885, the State of North Carolina 

recognized the Lumbee people as an Indian 

tribe. 1885 N.C. Sess. Laws 92. In 1956, 

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the 

Lumbee Act (Pub. L. 84–570, 70 Stat. 254), 

which recognized the Lumbee as the Lumbee 

Indians of North Carolina but denied the 

Lumbee Indians the Federal benefits 

associated with such recognition. Today, 

according to the State of North Carolina, the 

Lumbee Tribe consists of more than 55,000 

members, making it the largest tribe east of 

the Mississippi River and the ninth-largest 

tribe in the Nation. 

In 2024, the United States House of 

Representatives passed, by a vote of 311–96, 

the Lumbee Fairness Act (H.R. 1101), which 

would grant to the Lumbee Tribe full Federal 

recognition, but this legislation was not 

considered by the United States Senate 

before the end of the 118th Congress. Similar 

legislation has passed the House of 

Representatives several times. 

Considering the Lumbee Tribe’s historical 

and modern significance, it is the policy of 

the United States to support the full Federal 

recognition, including the authority to 

receive full Federal benefits, of the Lumbee 

Tribe of North Carolina. 

Sec. 2. Directive for Recognition Plan. (a) 

Within 90 days of the date of this 

memorandum, the Secretary of the Interior 

shall review all applicable authorities 

regarding the recognition or 

acknowledgement of Indian tribes and, in 

consultation with the leadership of the 

Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, shall submit 

to the President a plan to assist the Lumbee 

Tribe in obtaining full Federal recognition 

through legislation or other available 

mechanisms, including the right to receive 

full Federal benefits. 

(b) The plan shall include consideration 

and analysis of each potential legal pathway 

to effectuate the full Federal recognition of 

the Lumbee Tribe, including through an act 

of Congress, judicial action, or the 

Procedures for Federal Acknowledgement of 

Indian Tribes set forth in 25 CFR part 83. 

(c) The Secretary of the Interior is 

authorized and directed to publish this 

memorandum in the Federal Register.

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. The Commission has determined 

to exercise its authority to extend the 

review period by up to 90 days. 

DATES: February 6, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background.—On October 4, 2024, 

the Commission determined that 

responses to its notice of institution of 

the subject five-year reviews were such 

that full reviews should proceed (89 FR 

84397, October 22, 2024); accordingly, 

full reviews are being scheduled 

pursuant to section 751(c)(5) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)). 

A record of the Commissioners’ votes, 

the Commission’s statement on 

adequacy, and any individual 

Commissioner’s statements are available 

from the Office of the Secretary and at 

the Commission’s website. 

Participation in these reviews and

industrial users of the subject 

merchandise and, if the merchandise is 

sold at the retail level, representative 

consumer organizations, wishing to 

participate in these reviews as parties 

must file an entry of appearance with 

the Secretary to the Commission, as 

provided in section 201.11 of the 

Commission’s rules, by 45 days after 

publication of this notice. A party that 

filed a notice of appearance following 

publication of the Commission’s notice 

of institution of these reviews need not 

file an additional notice of appearance. 

The Secretary will maintain a public 

service list containing the names and 

addresses of all persons, or their 

representatives, who are parties to these 

reviews.

the application is made by 45 days after

receive BPI under the APO.

these reviews on or before 5:15 p.m. on

parties all information on which they

on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates 

upon the Commission’s procedures with 

respect to filings. 

Additional written submissions to the 

Commission, including requests

Commission’s rules, shall not be 

accepted unless good cause is shown for 

accepting such submissions, or unless 

the submission is pursuant to a specific 

request by a Commissioner or 

Commission staff. 

In accordance with sections 201.16(c) 

and 207.3 of the Commission’s rules, 

each document filed by a party to these 

reviews must be served on all other 

parties to these reviews (as identified by 

either the public or BPI service list), and 

a certificate of service must be timely 

filed. The Secretary will not accept a 

document for filing without a certificate 

of service. 

The Commission has determined that 

these reviews are extraordinarily 

complicated and therefore has 

determined to exercise its authority to 

extend the review period by up to 90 

days pursuant to 19 U.S.C.1675(c)(5)(B). 

Authority: These reviews are being 

conducted under authority of title VII of

the Commission’s rules. 

By order of the Commission.

location of the partially closed meeting 

of the Advisory Committee on Actuarial 

Examinations previously announced in 

the Federal Register of December 16, 

2024. 

DATES: January 6, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. 

to 5:00 p.m., and January 7, 2025, from

3648 or Elizabeth.jvanosten@irs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As 

published in the Federal Register of 

December 16, 2024 (89 FR 101626), the 

meeting was to be held at the Internal 

Revenue Service, 1111 Constitution 

Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20224. 

However, due to a weather-related 

building closure precluding an inperson meeting, the meeting was held 

by teleconference instead. There were 

no other changes to the meeting. 

Because the circumstances necessitating 

the change to the venue of the meeting 

were beyond the control of the Joint

was unable to provide public 

notification about the changes, as 

required by 41 CFR 102–3.150(a).
