SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 19, 1996, we published a notice in the Federal Register at 61 FR 67058 that requested comments on a proposed methodology and formula for distributing the Bureau's road maintenance funds to tribes. The comment period for the proposal ended on February 3, 1997. Because we did not receive enough comments, we are reopening the comment period.
