DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

25 CFR Part 115

RIN 1076-AE00


Trust Management Reform: Leasing/Permitting, Grazing, Probate and 
Funds Held in Trust

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) 
today is making a technical amendment to its rulemaking published on 
January 22, 2001, regarding Trust Funds for Tribes and Individual 
Indians. In formatting explanatory charts for publication, the question 
which refers to a particular chart regarding sources of money that will 
be accepted for deposit into a trust account was inadvertently omitted 
from the published regulation. The technical amendment is to simply 
include this question to appropriately make reference to the 
explanatory chart that has been published. This question is included in 
the table of contents and was in the copy of the regulation placed on 
public display before publication.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 23, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Duncan L. Brown, Office of the 
Secretary, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW, MS 7229 
MIB, Washington, DC 20240, Telephone: 202/208-4582.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This technical amendment simply includes a 
question, already included in the table of contents, for part 115 of 
``Trust Management Reform: Leasing/Permitting, Grazing, Probate and 
Funds Held in Trust,'' as published on January 22, 2001, 66 FR 7068, 
that was inadvertently omitted from the text of the rule. We, 
therefore, insert this question for Sec. 115.702 between the two charts 
that now follows Sec. 115.701 as this omitted question for Sec. 115.702 
pertains to (and explains) the second chart only. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
553(b), public comment is not required for this technical amendment as 
this amendment does not make any substantive regulatory change and 
simply promotes administrative efficiency and corrects an inadvertent 
omission of text. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d), the rulemaking will take 
effect immediately for good cause as the omission of the question for 
Sec. 115.702 would only confuse the public and defeat the efficiency of 
the rulemaking.
