Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Negotiated Rulemaking Committee; meeting,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
I. Background
HUD has established the Native American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Negotiated Rulemaking Committee for the purposes of discussing and negotiating a proposed rule that would change the regulations for the Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program allocation formula, and other IHBG program regulations that arise out of the allocation or reallocation of IHBG funds.
The IHBG program was established under the Native American Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.) (NAHASDA). NAHASDA reorganized housing assistance to Native Americans by eliminating and consolidating a number of HUD assistance programs in a single block grant program. In addition, NAHASDA provides federal assistance for Indian tribes in a manner that recognizes the right of Indian selfdetermination and tribal selfgovernment. Following the procedures of the Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990 (5 U.S.C. 561570), HUD and its tribal partners negotiated the March 12, 1998 (63 FR 12349) final rule, which created a new 24 CFR part 1000 containing the IHBG program regulations.
This document announces the final meeting of the Native American
Housing Assistance and SelfDetermination Negotiated Rulemaking
Committee. The committee meeting will take place as described in the
DATES and ADDRESSES section of this document. The agenda planned for
the meeting includes discussion and approval of draft regulatory
language. The meeting will be open to the public without advance
registration. Public attendance may be limited to the space available.
Members of the public may be allowed to make statements during the
meeting, to the extent time permits, and file written statements with
the committee for its consideration. Written statements should be
submitted to the address listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION section of this document.
Dated: January 9, 2004.
