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

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

the tribes for a 60-day review.

public review. Once that plan has been completed, 

the AMP Tribal Consultation Plan will be modified to 

be in conformance with it.

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.

CRAHG compare the existing draft tribal 

consultation documents with Secretarial Order 3317

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.

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.
