3/15/10: Kurt wants an update from the Washington 

Office on continued tribal consultation plan. 

6/29/10: Kurt said he would like to discuss his 

concerns under “New Business” today.

11/15/10: Kurt expressed his concerns (see 

minutes). Glen will follow up and report back to the 

TWG.

1/20/11: Glen said the Plan is still in review within 

DOI. There is a competing effort by Pres. Obama to 

have agencies develop agency-wide tribal 

consultation plans. The DOI is sorting out where this 

fits with the AMP plan. 

3/8/11: Glen said this action item refers to the 

AMP’s Tribal Consultation Plan and one developed 

by DOI. DOI is seeking resolution of whether or not 

the AMP’s plan fits within the DOI tribal consultation 

plan .On Jan. 14, 2011, the DOI plan was sent to 

the tribes for a 60-day review. 

6/28/11: The DOI Tribal Consultation Plan is out for 

public review. Once that plan has been completed, 

the AMP Tribal Consultation Plan will be modified to 

be in conformance with it.

10/20/11. Glen said the comment period closed the 

end of June. DOI is revising that plan in response to 

comments received. Once the DOI Consultation 

Plan is revised, the AMP consultation plan will be 

revised. 

2/2/2012: Shane will discuss the TWG’s concerns 

with Lori Caramanian and also ask whether this 

should be addressed at the DOI/AMP tribal preAMWG meeting (Refer to minutes for more 

information.)

4/16/12: Glen read a motion passed by the AMWG 

at its Feb. 2012 meeting: “AMWG requests the 

CRAHG compare the existing draft tribal 

consultation documents with Secretarial Order 3317 

and the DOI tribal consultation policy, and make a 

recommendation through the TWG to the AMWG by 

its August meeting for an AMP tribal consultation 

policy.” Kurt said the CRAHG will include with 

ongoing assignments and future reporting will be 

through AHG updates. 

6/20/12: John Halliday said the CRAHG requested 

Hualapai take the lead in comparing the two plans. 

Dean Suagge (Hualapai) asked him for the most 

recent version. Last week Dean completed the 

comparison but needs authorization from Loretta to 

release it to him and/or distribute to others. The 

document is still being reviewed by the CRAHG.

10/24/12: Reclamation will clarify at the next TWG 

meeting what remains to be done on the plan.

between Lori Caramanian, Jack Schmidt, Dave 

Garrett, himself and possibly others to discuss 

potential progress. 

6/20/12: Shane said Jack has agreed to consider 

moving forward in working on this. A rewrite will be 

done to more fully integrate the AMWG’s concerns.

revised version for the TWG to consider in October.

next week for a whirling disease update.

into the PBR. Updates will be provided at 

subsequent TWG meetings.
