SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The White Earth Reservation Land Settlement 
Act of 1985, Public Law 99-264 (100 Stat. 61) as amended by Public Law 
100-153 (101 Stat. 886), Public Law 100-212 (101 Stat. 1433), and 
Public Law 101-301 (104 Stat. 210), provides for alternative methods of 
resolving disputes relative to the title to certain allotments for 
which trust patents were issued to White Earth Chippewa Indians. 
Section 4(a) and 4(b) of the Act define circumstances by which the 
title to an allotment may have been taken or transferred through 
questionable means during the trust period. The Act authorizes the 
Secretary of the Interior to: (1) Identify the allotments or interest 
therein which were taken or transferred under identified circumstances, 
(2) determine the individuals entitled to compensation pursuant to the 
Act, and (3) ascertain the amount of compensation to which each such 
individual is entitled.
    In addition, section 5(c) of the Act provides that the White Earth 
Band of Chippewa Indians shall be compensated for allotments which were 
granted to individuals who had died prior to the selection dates of 
their respective allotments.
    Under Section 8(a) of the Act, the compensation for the taking or 
transfer of an allotment or interest is to be based on the fair market 
value of the allotment or interest therein as of the date of such 
taking or transfer, less any consideration actually received at the 
time. The compensation to be paid under the Act shall include interest 
compounded annually at 5 percent from the date of the questionable 
taking or transfer, until March 24, 1986, and at the general rate of 
interest earned by Department of the Interior funds thereafter. The 
Secretary is authorized to issue written notices of compensation 
determination for the allottees or heirs entitled thereto. Such notice 
shall describe the basis for the Secretary's determination, the process 
whereby such compensation was determined, the method of payment,

[[Page 10632]]

and the applicable time limits for judicial review of the 
determination. Any individual who has already elected to file suit in 
the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota to seek the 
recovery of title to an allotment or interest therein, or damages, is 
barred under section 6(c) from receiving any compensation under the 
Act.
    The Secretary shall give written notice only to those allottees or 
heirs whose addresses can be ascertained by reasonable and diligent 
efforts; otherwise such notice shall be given by publication in the 
Federal Register.
    The Secretary's administrative determination of the appropriate 
amount of compensation computed pursuant to the provisions of the Act 
may be judicially reviewed pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act 
not later than one hundred and eighty days after the issuance of notice 
as aforesaid; after such time the Secretary's determination shall be 
conclusive and all judicial reviews shall be barred. Exclusive 
jurisdiction over any such action is hereby vested in the United States 
District Court for the District of Minnesota.
    The Secretary of the Interior shall then make a diligent effort to 
locate each allottee or heir; however, if after two years from the date 
on which a determination becomes conclusive an allottee or heir cannot 
be located the Secretary of the Interior shall declare the amount owing 
to such allottee or heir forfeit.
    This notice is published in the exercise of authority delegated by 
the Secretary of the Interior to the Assistant Secretary--Indian 
Affairs by 209 DM 8.

    Dated: February 5, 2013.
Kevin K. Washburn,
Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs.
