This Office of Historical Trust Accounting (OHTA) is proposing to add a new Privacy Act system of records notice, OS–11, “Accounting Reconciliation Tool” (ART). ART supports the work of OHTA to analyze the historical collection, distribution, and disbursement of income from Indian trust land and other revenue sources, and to provide historical statements of account to the account holders of the Individual Indian Money (IIM) Trust Fund. This work is necessary to carry out the Secretary's fiduciary responsibilities under the American Indian Trust Fund Management Reform Act of 1994, Pub. L. 103–412, 108 Stat. 4239. Towards that end, ART will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period unless comments are received that require a contrary determination. The Department will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review of comments received.
