Office of Trust Funds Management

National Tribal Consultation

AGENCY: Office of Trust Funds

Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Tribal Consultation

Meeting—Financial Trust Services

Improvement.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Office of the Special Trustee (OST),

Office of Trust Funds Management

(OTFM), will conduct four (4)

consultation meetings with any Indian

tribe, band, nation, Individual Account

holders or other organized group or

community, including any Alaska

Native village or regional or village

corporation as defined in or established

pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims

Settlement Act (85 Stat.688), which is

recognized as eligible for the trust

programs and services provided by the

United States to Indians because of their

status as Indians.

The purpose is to obtain oral and

written comments regarding a number

of options to improve Individual Indian

Money (IIM) accounting and customer

service with approximately 300,000

nationwide account holders. The

options were developed by a Tribal/

Federal Work Group which was

established to assist OTFM in

developing a number of

recommendations to resolve technical

and customer service problems. A

number of General Accounting Office

(GAO), Office of Management and

Budget (OMB), and Department of

Interior (DOI) audits of the IIM function

have concluded that internal controls

are inadequate for controlling receipts

and disbursements for this function.

DATES (1996): Four (4) consultation

sessions will be conducted:

June 25–27, Tulsa, OK, Adam’s Mark Hotel,

100 East 2nd Street, Tulsa, OK 74103, 918–

The anticipated result of the

consultation is to ensure that the

Department adheres to the mandates of

Trust Fund Management Reform Act.

Specifically, the Department must

ensure that: (1) IIM funds are deposited

on a timely basis; (2) IIM interest is paid

for IIM daily and annual balances exists;

and (4) periodic statements to IIM

account holders will be provided.
