the United States Court of Federal Claims

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

EFFECTIVE DATE: This plan was effective as of April 5, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Lamb, Historian, Bureau of 
Indian Affairs, Division of Tribal Government Services, MS 2611-MIB,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act of November 2, 1994, (Pub. L. 103-
436, 108 Stat. 4577), requires that a plan be prepared and submitted to 
Congress for the distribution of funds appropriated to pay a judgment 
of the Indian Claims Commission or Court of Federal Claims to the 
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Funds were 
appropriated pursuant to section 1304 of title 31, United States Code, 
in satisfaction of the Settlement Agreement entered into between the 
United States and the Tribe on April 16, 1994. The plan for the use of 
the funds was submitted to Congress with a letter dated January 17, 
1995, and was received (as recorded in the Congressional Record) by the 
Senate on January 26, 1995, and by the House of Representatives on 
January 19, 1995. The plan became effective April 5, 1995, as provided 
by the Act, since a joint resolution disapproving it was not enacted. 
The plan reads as follows:

Plan--For the Use of Judgment Funds Awarded to the Confederated Tribes 
of the Colville Reservation Docket 181-D Before the United States Court 
of Federal Claims

    The funds appropriated in satisfaction of the award entered on 
behalf of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation in Docket 
181-D before the United States Court of Federal Claims, (less attorney 
fees, litigation and related expenses, and including all interest and 
investment income accrued), shall be distributed to all enrolled tribal 
members, born on or prior to and living as of February 15, 1995.
    Per Capita Aspect: The Confederated Tribes of the Colville 
Reservation shall make a per capita distribution of one hundred percent 
(100%) of the principal, interest, and investment income accrued, in a 
sum as equal as possible, to each member of the Confederated Tribes of 
the Colville Reservation, born on or prior to and living on February 
15, 1995, whose names appear on the tribal roll, as approved by the 
Secretary. Any remaining amount, after the per capita payment to the 
eligible members, shall revert to the tribe for use in tribal 
administration programs.

General Provisions

    The per capita shares of living, competent adults shall be paid 
directly to them. The per capita shares of deceased individual 
beneficiaries shall be determined and distributed in accordance with 43 
CFR part 4, subpart D. Per capita shares of legal incompetents and 
minors shall be handled as provided in the Act of October 19, 1973, 87 
Stat. 466, as amended January 12, 1983, 96 Stat. 2512. Minors' shares 
will be held in trust until the minor reaches 18 or his/her high school 
class graduates from high school, whichever is the latter.
