Oberstar Ranking Minority Member Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure House of Representatives Subject: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs: Distribution of Fiscal Year 2000 Indian Reservation Roads Funds Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), entitled Distribution of Fiscal Year 2000 Indian Reservation Roads Funds (RIN: 1076-AD99). We received the rule on June 12, 2000. It was published in the Federal Register as a temporary rule on June 16, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 37697. The temporary rule requires distribution of one-half of the Fiscal Year 2000 Indian Reservation Roads funds to projects on or near Indian reservations using the Relative Need Formula adopted in 1993. This rule follows a previous temporary rule published on February 15, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 7431) which permitted distribution of the first half of the Fiscal Year 2000 funds. That rule was the subject of our report, GAO/OGC-00-26, March 8, 2000. Enclosed is our assessment of the BIA's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review indicates that BIA complied with the applicable requirements. If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers, Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO GAO/OGC-00-39
