BIA Notice of Tribal Consultation
April 15, 2013
Greetings!

Please see the link below for a Federal Register notice from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding "Tribal Consultation on the Draft Regulations Government the Tribal Transportation Program" that was published Friday, April 12, 2013.  The Bureau of Indian Affairs is announcing tribal consultations to discuss draft revisions of the regulations governing the Tribal Transportation Program. The consultations will also cover requirements for proposed roads and access roads to be included in the National Tribal Transportation Facility Inventory and will include an update regarding the ongoing quality assurance review of the facility inventory.

The consultation meeting dates and locations are as follows:

 

May 14, 2013      Anchorage, AK  9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

May 16, 2013      Phoenix, AZ 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

May 21, 2013      Minneapolis, MN 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

 

 

While this Federal Register notice refers to draft regulations for 25 CFR Part 170 that govern the Tribal Transportation Program, that draft rule is not included in this notice.  However, this notice does state that comments on the draft rule are due by June 14, 2013.  We would anticipate seeing the draft rule published in the Federal Register sometime soon.  Also, this notice does not provide an address for the consultation site.  Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
