Final Decisions Regarding SelfDetermination and Self-Governance 

Funding Agreement Language on 

Fiduciary Trust Records Management 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of final decision. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

final decision regarding SelfDetermination and Self-Governance 

language to be negotiated into funding 

agreements for 2006 regarding fiduciary 

trust records management. The Federal 

Register notice published on February 

2, 2005 (70 FR 5457) presented a 

proposed policy on fiduciary trust 

records management for SelfDetermination (Title I) and SelfGovernance (Title IV) Tribes/Consortia 

and language to be negotiated into 2006 

Title I and Title IV funding agreements. 

The February 2, 2005, notice also 

announced three consultation meetings 

and an invitation to submit written 

comments on the proposed policy and 

funding agreement language. 

Final Decision: After reviewing 

numerous comments and suggestions, 

both written and oral, the Department 

decided not to institute the proposed 

policy on fiduciary trust records 

management for Title I and Title IV 

Tribes/Consortia; rather, the Department 

will negotiate with each Tribe/ 

Consortium a specific section in the 

funding agreement that addresses 

Tribe’s/Consortium’s and the Secretary’s 

respective responsibilities regarding the 

management of fiduciary trust records. 

This specific section will include the 

definition of ‘‘fiduciary trust records,’’

‘‘Indian trust assets,’’ and 

‘‘management.’’ The language to be 

negotiated into the 2006 Title I and Title 

IV funding agreements regarding 

fiduciary trust records management is 

the following and will replace the three 

options used in the past. 

The Tribe/Consortium and Secretary 

agree to the following: 

The Tribe/Consortium agrees to: 

(a) Preserve, protect and manage all 

fiduciary trust records, created and/or 

maintained by the Tribes/Consortia 

during their management of trust 

programs in their Title IV agreements. 

(A fiduciary trust record is any 

document that reflects the existence of 

an Indian trust asset and was used in the 

management of an Indian trust asset. An 

Indian trust asset refers to lands, natural 

resources, monies or other assets held in 

trust at a particular time by the Federal 

Government for a Tribe, Alaska natives
