DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Office of the Secretary 

List of Programs Eligible for Inclusion 

in Fiscal Year 2011 Funding 

Agreements To Be Negotiated With 

Self-Governance Tribes by Interior 

Bureaus Other Than the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice lists programs or 

portions of programs that are eligible for 

inclusion in Fiscal Year 2011 funding 

agreements with self-governance Indian 

tribes and lists programmatic targets for 

each of the non-Bureau of Indian Affairs 

(BIA) bureaus in the Department of the 

Interior, pursuant to the Tribal SelfGovernance Act. 

DATES: This notice expires on 

September 30, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Inquiries or comments 

regarding this notice may be directed to 

Sharee M. Freeman, Director, Office of 

Self-Governance (MS 355H–SIB), 1849 C 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20240– 

0001, telephone: (202) 219–0240, fax: 

(202) 219–1404, or to the bureauspecific points of contact listed below. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Title II of the Indian SelfDetermination Act Amendments of 1994 

(Pub. L. 103–413, the ‘‘Tribal SelfGovernance Act’’ or the ‘‘Act’’) instituted 

a permanent self-governance program at 

the Department of the Interior. Under 

the self-governance program, certain 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities, or portions thereof, in Interior 

bureaus other than BIA are eligible to be 

planned, conducted, consolidated, and 

administered by a self-governance tribal 

government. 

Under section 405(c) of the Tribal 

Self-Governance Act, the Secretary of 

the Interior is required to publish 

annually: (1) A list of non-BIA 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities, or portions thereof, that are 

eligible for inclusion in agreements 

negotiated under the self-governance 

program; and (2) programmatic targets 

for these bureaus. 

Under the Tribal Self-Governance Act, 

two categories of non-BIA programs are 

eligible for self-governance funding 

agreements: 

(1) Under section 403(b)(2) of the Act, 

any non-BIA program, service, function 

or activity that is administered by 

Interior that is ‘‘otherwise available to 

Indian tribes or Indians,’’ can be 

administered by a tribal government 

through a self-governance funding 

agreement. The Department interprets 

this provision to authorize the inclusion 

of programs eligible for selfdetermination contracts under Title I of 

the Indian Self-Determination and 

Education Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93– 

638, as amended). Section 403(b)(2) also 

specifies, ‘‘nothing in this subsection 

may be construed to provide any tribe 

with a preference with respect to the 

opportunity of the tribe to administer 

programs, services, functions and 

activities, or portions thereof, unless 

such preference is otherwise provided 

for by law.’’ 

(2) Under section 403(c) of the Act, 

the Secretary may include other 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof that are of 

‘‘special geographic, historical, or 

cultural significance’’ to a selfgovernance tribe. 

Under section 403(k) of the Tribal 

Self-Governance Act, funding 

agreements cannot include programs, 

services, functions, or activities that are 

inherently Federal or where the statute 

establishing the existing program does 

not authorize the type of participation 

sought by the tribe. However, a tribe (or 

tribes) need not be identified in the 

authorizing statutes in order for a 

program or element to be included in a 

self-governance funding agreement. 

While general legal and policy guidance 

regarding what constitutes an inherently 

Federal function exists, each non-BIA 

bureau will determine whether a 

specific function is inherently Federal 

on a case-by-case basis considering the 

totality of circumstances. 

Subpart G of the self-governance 

regulations found at 25 CFR part 1000 

provides the process and timelines for 

negotiating self-governance funding 

agreements with non-BIA bureaus.

III. Eligible Programs of the Department 

of the Interior non-BIA Bureaus 

Below is a listing by bureau of the 

types of non-BIA programs, or portions 

thereof, that may be eligible for selfgovernance funding agreements because 

they are either ‘‘otherwise available to 

Indians’’ under Title I and not precluded 

by any other law, or may have ‘‘special 

geographic, historical, or cultural 

significance’’ to a participating tribe. 

The lists represent the most current 

information on programs potentially 

available to tribes under a selfgovernance funding agreement. 

The Department will also consider for 

inclusion in funding agreements other 

programs or activities not listed below, 

but which, upon request of a selfgovernance tribe, the Department 

determines to be eligible under either 

sections 403(b)(2) or 403(c) of the Act. 

Tribes with an interest in such potential 

agreements are encouraged to begin 

discussions with the appropriate nonBIA bureau. 

A. Eligible Bureau of Land Management 

(BLM) Programs 

The BLM carries out some of its 

activities in the management of public 

lands through contracts and cooperative 

agreements. These and other activities, 

dependent upon availability of funds, 

the need for specific services, and the 

self-governance tribe demonstrating a 

special geographic, culture, or historical 

connection, may also be available for 

inclusion in self-governance funding 

agreements. Once a tribe has made 

initial contact with the BLM, more 

specific information will be provided by 

the respective BLM State office. 

Some elements of the following 

programs may be eligible for inclusion 

in a self-governance funding agreement. 

This listing is not all-inclusive, but is 

representative of the types of programs 

that may be eligible for tribal 

participation through a funding 

agreement. 

Tribal Services 

1. Minerals Management. Inspection 

and enforcement of Indian oil and gas 

operations: Inspection, enforcement and 

production verification of Indian coal 

and sand and gravel operations are 

already available for contracts under 

Title I of the Act and, therefore, may be 

available for inclusion in a funding 

agreement. 

2. Cadastral Survey. Tribal and 

allottee cadastral survey services are 

already available for contracts under 

Title I of the Act and, therefore, may be 

available for inclusion in a funding 

agreement. 

Other Activities 

1. Cultural heritage. Cultural heritage 

activities, such as research and 

inventory, may be available in specific 

States. 

2. Forestry Management. Activities 

such as environmental studies, tree 

planting, thinning, and similar work, 

may be available in specific States. 

3. Range Management. Activities, 

such as revegetation, noxious weed 

control, fencing, construction and 

management of range improvements, 

grazing management experiments, range 

monitoring, and similar activities, may 

be available in specific States. 

4. Riparian Management. Activities, 

such as facilities construction, erosion 

control, rehabilitation, and other similar 

activities, may be available in specific 

States. 

5. Recreation Management. Activities, 

such as facilities construction and 

maintenance, interpretive design and 

construction, and similar activities may 

be available in specific States. 

6. Wildlife and Fisheries Habitat 

Management. Activities, such as 

construction and maintenance, 

interpretive design and construction, 

and similar activities may be available 

in specific States. 

7. Wild Horse Management. 

Activities, such as wild horse roundups, adoption and disposition, 

including operation and maintenance of 

wild horse facilities may be available in 

specific States. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Jerry Cordova, 

Bureau of Land Management (MS L St— 

204), 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20240, telephone: (202) 912–7245, 

fax: (202) 452–7701. 

B. Eligible Bureau of Reclamation 

(Reclamation) Programs 

The mission of Reclamation is to 

manage, develop, and protect water and 

related resources in an environmentally 

and economically sound manner in the 

interest of the American public. To this 

end, most of Reclamation’s activities 

involve the construction, operation and 

maintenance, and management of water 

resources projects and associated 

facilities, as well as research and 

development related to its 

responsibilities. Reclamation water 

resources projects provide water for 

agricultural, municipal and industrial 

water supplies; hydroelectric power 

generation; flood control; outdoor 

recreation; and enhancement of fish and 

wildlife habitats. 

Components of the following water 

resource projects listed below may be 

eligible for inclusion in a selfgovernance annual funding agreement. 

This list was developed with 

consideration of the proximity of 

identified self-governance tribes to 

Reclamation projects. 

1. Klamath Project, California and 

Oregon. 

2. Trinity River Fishery, California. 

3. Central Arizona Project, Arizona. 

4. Rocky Boy’s/North Central 

Montana Regional Water System, 

Montana. 

5. Indian Water Rights Settlement 

Projects, as authorized by Congress. 

Reclamation also has some programs 

(e.g., drought relief) under which 

funding may be provided for specific 

tribal projects which qualify under the 

applicable program criteria, subject to 

available funding. When such projects 

are for the benefit of self-governance 

tribes, the projects, or portions thereof, 

may be eligible for inclusion in selfgovernance funding agreements. 

Upon the request of a self-governance 

tribe, Reclamation will also consider for 

inclusion in funding agreements, other 

programs or activities which 

Reclamation determines to be eligible 

under Section 403(b)(2) or 403(c) of the 

Act. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Mr. Douglas 

Oellermann, Policy Analyst, Native 

American and International Affairs 

Office, Bureau of Reclamation (96– 

43200) (MS 7069–MIB); 1849 C Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20240, telephone: 

(202) 513–0560, fax: (202) 513–0311. 

C. Eligible Bureau of Ocean Energy 

Management, Regulation and 

Enforcement (BOEMRE) Programs 

The BOEMRE provides stewardship of 

America’s offshore resources and is 

responsible for the management of the 

Federal Outer Continental shelf, which 

are submerged lands off the coasts that 

have significant energy and mineral 

resources. Within the Offshore Energy 

Minerals Management program, 

environmental impact assessments and 

statements, and environmental studies 

may be available if a self-governance 

tribe demonstrates a special geographic, 

cultural or historical connection.

D. Eligible Office of Natural Resources 

Revenue (ONRR) Programs 

Effective October 1, 2010, the 

Minerals Revenue Management program 

moved from the BOEMRE (formerly the 

Minerals Management Service (MMS)) 

to the Office of the Assistant Secretary— 

Policy, Management and Budget (PMB) 

and became the ONRR. The ONRR 

collects, accounts for, and distributes 

mineral revenues from both Federal and 

Indian mineral leases. The ONRR also 

evaluates industry compliance with 

laws, regulations, and lease terms, and 

offers mineral-owning tribes 

opportunities to become involved in its 

programs that address the intent of 

tribal self-governance. These programs 

are available regardless of selfgovernance intentions or status and are 

a good prerequisite for assuming other 

technical functions. Generally, ONRR 

program functions are available to tribes 

because of the Federal Oil and Gas 

Royalty Management Act of 1983 

(FOGRMA) at 30 U.S.C. 1701. The 

ONRR program functions that may be 

available to self-governance tribes 

include: 

1. Audit of Tribal Royalty Payments. 

Audit activities for tribal leases, except 

for the issuance of orders, final 

valuation decisions, and other 

enforcement activities. (For tribes 

already participating in ONRR 

cooperative audits, this program is 

offered as an option.) 

2. Verification of Tribal Royalty 

Payments. Financial compliance 

verification and monitoring activities, 

and production verification. 

3. Tribal Royalty Reporting, 

Accounting, and Data Management. 

Establishment and management of 

royalty reporting and accounting 

systems including document processing, 

production reporting, reference data 

(lease, payor, agreement) management, 

billing and general ledger. 

4. Tribal Royalty Valuation. 

Preliminary analysis and 

recommendations for valuation and 

allowance determinations and 

approvals. 

5. Royalty Internship Program. An 

orientation and training program for 

auditors and accountants from mineralproducing tribes to acquaint tribal staff 

with royalty laws, procedures, and 

techniques. This program is 

recommended for tribes that are 

considering a self-governance funding 

agreement, but have not yet acquired 

mineral revenue expertise via a 

FOGRMA section 202 cooperative 

agreement, as this is the term contained 

in FOGRMA and implementing 

regulations at 30 CFR 228.4. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance contact Shirley M. Conway, 

Special Assistant to the Director, Office 

of Natural Resources Revenue, Office of 

the Assistant Secretary—Policy, 

Management and Budget (MS 5438— 

MIB), 1849 C Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20240, telephone: (202) 208–3981, 

fax: (202) 208–6684. 

E. Eligible National Park Service 

Programs 

The National Park Service administers 

the National Park System, which is 

made up of national parks, monuments, 

historic sites, battlefields, seashores, 

lake shores and recreation areas. The 

National Park Service maintains the 

park units, protects the natural and 

cultural resources, and conducts a range 

of visitor services such as law 

enforcement, park maintenance, and 

interpretation of geology, history, and 

natural and cultural resources. 

Some elements of the following 

programs may be eligible for inclusion 

in a self-governance funding agreement. 

This list below was developed 

considering the proximity of an 

identified self-governance tribe to a 

national park, monument, preserve, or 

recreation area and the types of 

programs that have components that 

may be suitable for contracting through 

a self-governance funding agreement. 

This list is not all-inclusive, but is 

representative of the types of programs 

which may be eligible for tribal 

participation through funding 

agreements.

G. Eligible U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) Programs 

The mission of the USGS is to collect, 

analyze, and provide information on 

biology, geology, hydrology, and 

geography that contributes to the wise 

management of the Nation’s natural 

resources and to the health, safety, and 

well-being of the American people. This 

information is usually publicly available 

and includes maps, data bases, and 

descriptions and analyses of the water, 

plants, animals, energy, and mineral 

resources, land surface, underlying 

geologic structure, and dynamic 

processes of the earth. The USGS does 

not manage lands or resources. Selfgovernance tribes may potentially assist 

the USGS in the data acquisition and 

analysis components of its activities.

H. Eligible Office of the Special Trustee 

for American Indians (OST) Programs 

The Department of the Interior has 

responsibility for what may be the 

largest land trust in the world, 

approximately 56 million acres. OST 

oversees the management of Indian trust 

assets, including income generated from 

leasing and other commercial activities 

on Indian trust lands, by maintaining, 

investing and disbursing Indian trust 

financial assets, and reporting on these 

transactions. The mission of the OST is 

to serve Indian communities by 

fulfilling Indian fiduciary trust 

responsibilities. This is to be 

accomplished through the 

implementation of a Comprehensive 

Trust Management Plan (CTM) that is 

designed to improve trust beneficiary 

services, ownership information, 

management of trust fund assets, and 

self-governance activities. 

A tribe operating under selfgovernance may include the following 

programs, services, functions, and 

activities or portions thereof in a 

funding agreement: 

1. Beneficiary Processes Program 

(Individual Indian Money Accounting 

Technical Functions). 

2. Appraisal Services Program. Tribes/ 

consortia may negotiate a separate 

memorandum of understanding (MOU) 

with OST that outlines the roles and 

responsibilities for management of these 

programs. 

If those roles and responsibilities are 

already fully articulated in an existing 

funding agreement with the BIA, an 

MOU is not necessary. To the extent 

that an existing funding agreement with 

BIA lacks specific program standards, 

an MOU will be negotiated between the 

tribe/consortium and OST, which will 

be binding on both parties and attached 

and incorporated into the BIA funding 

agreement. 

For questions regarding selfgovernance, contact Lee Frazier, 

Program Analyst, Office of External 

Affairs, Office of the Special Trustee for 

American Indians (MS 5140—MIB), 

1849 C Street, NW., Washington, DC 

20240–0001, phone: (202) 208–7587, 

fax: (202) 208–7545. 

IV. Programmatic Targets 

During Fiscal Year 2011, upon request 

of a self-governance tribe, each non-BIA 

bureau will negotiate funding 

agreements for its eligible programs 

beyond those already negotiated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Section 10(j) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (ESA), as amended, 

(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) authorizes the 

Secretary of the Interior to establish 

experimental populations of endangered 

or threatened species. Because 

individuals of experimental populations 

are categorically protected under the 

ESA, the information we collect is 

important for monitoring the success of 

reintroduction efforts and recovery 

efforts in general. This is a nonform 

collection. Information collection 

requirements for experimental 

populations of endangered and 

threatened species are in 50 CFR 17.84. 

We collect three categories of 

information: 

(1) General take or removal. Relates to 

human-related mortality including 

unintentional taking incidental to 

otherwise lawful activities (e.g., 

highway mortalities); animal husbandry 

actions authorized to manage the 

population (e.g., translocation or 

providing aid to sick, injured, or 

orphaned individuals); take in defense 

of human life; take related to defense of 

property (if authorized); or take in the 

form of authorized harassment. 

(2) Depredation-related take. Involves 

take for management purposes where 

livestock depredation is documented, 

and may include authorized harassment 

or authorized lethal take of 

experimental animals in the act of 

attacking livestock. 

(3) Specimen collection, recovery, or 

reporting of dead individuals. This 

information documents incidental or 

authorized scientific collection. Most of 

the contacts with the public deal 

primarily with the reporting of sightings
