evaluation process, a Tribal organization

may indicate to what extent it will share

in the construction costs of its

educational facilities replacement

construction project through the use of

non-Federal resources. To participate in

the FY 2001 cost sharing program, a

Tribe is required to contribute a tribal

share equal to 50% of the total

replacement school construction costs

[(Pub. L. 106–291, Sec. 153(b)(3)(B)].

Congress identified Conehatta

Elementary School of the Mississippi

Band of Choctaw Indians as the first

education facility to cost share in a

Tribal school construction

demonstration program [Senate Report

106–312, pg. 53; House Report 106–914,

pg.147; Public Law 106–291, Sec. 153].

The BIA will evaluate and rank

applications for education facilities

replacement construction projects

through the use of narrative submitted

by applicants, from data in the BIA’s

national Facilities Management

Information System (FMIS), and from

other BIA information sources.

BIA’s Office of Indian Education

Programs’ Line Officers will receive

training on the 2001 instructions and

ranking criteria for all schools under

their administrative jurisdictions and

will provide technical assistance to the

schools under their administrative

jurisdictions. In addition to technical

assistance available from the Bureau,

applicants may use commercial service

providers to prepare their applications.

The Bureau can provide referrals, upon

request, which the applicants may

choose to contact independently.

The BIA will provide Bureau-funded

schools with instructions and

application forms. We will send all

potential applicants the application

forms and instructions by certified mail.

Tribes and BIA-funded school boards

will receive advance, written notice

from Education Line Officers of

replacement school construction

application training session dates,

times, and locations for Tribes and

schools under their respective

jurisdictions. The Education Line

Officers will conduct training for

applicants on how to complete their

applications. Applications will be

accepted beginning August 1, 2001,

until August 21, 2001. We will use the

criteria in the 2001 instructions to

review and evaluate all applications that

we receive on or before the deadline.

This Notice is published under

authority delegated by the Secretary of

the Interior to the Assistant Secretary for

Indian Affairs in the Departmental

Manual at 209 DM 8. 25 U.S.C. 2005(c)

directed BIA to publish, in the Federal

Register, the system used to determine

priorities for school construction

projects and to submit a current priority

ranking for school construction projects

at the time any budget request is

presented to Congress. The Conference

Report for the FY 1992 Interior and

Related Agencies Appropriation Act,

House Report No. 256, 102d Cong., 1st

Sess. 46 (1991), indicated that Congress

wanted the Department to revise the

priority ranking process for new school

construction. The Conference Report

said that BIA should emphasize tribal

consultation and improve the objectivity

of the ranking process, provide

continuity to the priority ranking list,

and provide procedures for handling

emergency needs.
