25 CFR Part 151

RIN 1076-AD90


Acquisition of Title to Land in Trust; Delay of Effective Date; 
Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Correction to final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects the final rule published on Monday, 
February 5, 2001 (66 FR 8899). The February 5th rule delayed the 
effective date of the rule entitled ``Acquisition of Title to Land in 
Trust,'' published in the Federal Register on January 16, 2001, at 66 
FR 3452.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 20, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Terry Virden, Director, Office of 
Trust Responsibilities, Mail Stop: 4513-MIB, 1849 ``C'' Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20240; telephone: 202-208-5831; electronic mail: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 20, 2001, the Assistant to the 
President and Chief of Staff signed a memo to the heads of all 
executive Departments and agencies entitled ``Regulatory Review Plan.'' 
(This memo was published in the Federal Register on January 24, 2001, 
at 66 FR 7701). To comply with this memo, we must delay for 60 days the 
effective date of any final rule that was published but not yet 
effective on or before January 20, 2001. On February 5th we published a 
final rule to delay the effective date of a rule titled ``Acquisition 
of Title to Land in Trust.'' (We published the original ``Acquisition 
of Title to Land in Trust'' rule in the Federal Register on January 16, 
2001, at 66 FR 3452.) In the DATES section of our February 5th rule, we 
incorrectly stated two dates, as shown in the following table:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the February 5 rule we said that     What we should have said was
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The effective date of the January 16 rule   The effective date of the
 was January 16.                             January 16 rule was
                                             February 15.
The new, delayed effective date of the      The new, delayed effective
 January 16 rule was March 17.               date of the January 16 rule
                                             was April 16.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The delayed effective date that we published on February 5 would 
postpone the effective date for only 30 days, rather than the required 
60 days. In this correction, we are making the following changes to the 
rule that we published on February 5th:
    (1) Correcting the original effective date of the January 16 rule 
from January 17, 2001 to February 15, 2001; and
    (2) Correcting the delayed effective date of the January 16 rule 
from March 17, 2001, to April 16, 2001.

Need for Correction

    As published, the final rule contains errors that may prove to be 
misleading and are in need of correction.
