This subchapter, referred to in text, was in the original “this Act”, meaning Pub. L. 93–638, Jan. 4, 1975, 88 Stat. 2203, as amended, known as the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act, which is classified principally to this subchapter (§450 et seq.). For complete classification of this Act to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 450 of this title and Tables.
The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, referred to in subsec. (e), is Pub. L. 92–203, Dec. 18, 1971, 85 Stat. 688, as amended, which is classified generally to chapter 33 (§1601 et seq.) of Title 43, Public Lands.

Part A of this subchapter, referred to in subsec. (j), was in the original “title I of this act”, meaning title I of Pub.

For complete classification of title I to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 450 of this title and Tables.
Section 450j(a) of this title, referred to in subsec. (j), was repealed and a new subsec. (a) of section 450j was added by Pub. L. 103–413, title I, §102(10), Oct. 25, 1994, 108 Stat. 4253, which does not contain provisos.

Subsec. (h). Pub. L. 101–644, §202(1), struck out “in existence on October 5, 1988,” before “which meets this definition”.

(h) by substituting “a tribal organization or the tribal organization's Indian tribe for purposes of section 450f(a) of this title” for “a tribal organization or a tribal governing body” was executed by substituting the new language for “a tribal organization or tribal governing body” to reflect the probable intent of Congress.
Subsec. (j). Pub. L. 100–581, §208(b), substituted “the Secretary for the planning” for “Secretary the planning” and “except as provided the last proviso in section 450j(a) of this title, no contract” for “no contract”.
