DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Bureau of Indian Affairs

25 CFR Part 141

RIN 1076-AC87

 
Business Practices on the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Reservations

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is amending 25 CFR 141.10 
and 141.33 to change references to the account ``Indian Monies, 
Proceeds of Labor'' to read ``Special Deposits,'' as provided in 25 CFR 
Part 114--SPECIAL DEPOSITS.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 30, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jim Parris, Bureau of Indian 
Affairs, Office of Trust Funds Management, 505 Marquette NW., Suite 
700, Albuquerque, NM 87102, Telephone Number 505-766-3230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rulemaking action is to amend Part 141 
of Subchapter G of Chapter I of Title 25 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations, which contains general regulations pertaining to 
reservation businesses and prescribes rules for the licensing of non-
member businesses, pawnbrokers and traders who engage in retail 
business on the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni Reservations, as required by 25 
U.S.C. 261, 262, 263, and 264.
    Pursuant to the amendments contained in Pub. L. 97-257, Title I, 
Sec. 100, (Sept. 10, 1982, 96 Stat. 839), which provide that ``No funds 
shall be deposited in such `Indian monies, proceeds of labor' (IMPL) 
accounts after September 30, 1982,'' all deposits to IMPL accounts were 
discontinued. The IMPL accounts will be removed from the BIA accounting 
system and are no longer available for use. The references to, ``Indian 
Monies, Proceeds of Labor'' accounts contained in Sec. 141.10(d) and 
Sec. 141.33(d) are therefore no longer valid, and are being changed to 
refer to ``Special Deposits'' accounts, in accordance with the 
requirements of 25 CFR 114.
    A proposed regulation for 25 CFR 141 was published for public 
comment in the Federal Register on February 25, 1994 (59 FR 9302). 
After a thirty-(30-) day comment period, no comments were received.

regulatory action under Executive Order 12866 and therefore will not be 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
    In accordance with Executive Order 12630, the Department has 
determined that this rule does not have significant takings 
implications.
    The Department has determined that this rule does not have 
significant federalism effects.
