THE CONGRESS o3733


BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES


Changes Needed In

Revenue Sharing Act For/

Indian Tribes And

Alaskan Native Villages


Department of the Treasury

Although the Revenue Sharing Act provides
that Indian tribes and Alaskan native villages
which perform substantial governmental
functions are eligible to receive revenue shar-
ing, more reasonable and uniform eligibility
determinations are required. GAO recom-
mends that the Congress direct the Secretary
of the Treasury to establish precise guidelines
to define substantial governmental func-
tions.

Funds allocated to tribes and villages at the
county level are based on the ratio of tribe or
village population to the county area popula-
tion. This method is inequitable. The Con-
gress should change the procedure so that
each tribe or village within a State is allocated
a portion of revenue sharing funds available
for local government allocation on the basis
of the ratio of the tribe or village population
to the State population.
