AGENCY: ACTION: BILLING CODE 4410–10–M VerDate Aug<18>2005 51081 SUMMARY: This notice announces the final decision regarding SelfDetermination and Self-Governance language to be negotiated into funding agreements for 2006 regarding fiduciary trust records management. The Federal Register notice published on February 2, 2005 (70 FR 5457) presented a proposed policy on fiduciary trust records management for SelfDetermination (Title I) and SelfGovernance (Title IV) Tribes/Consortia and language to be negotiated into 2006 Title I and Title IV funding agreements. The February 2, 2005, notice also announced three consultation meetings and an invitation to submit written comments on the proposed policy and funding agreement language. Final Decision: After reviewing numerous comments and suggestions, both written and oral, the Department decided not to institute the proposed policy on fiduciary trust records management for Title I and Title IV Tribes/Consortia; rather, the Department will negotiate with each Tribe/ Consortium a specific section in the funding agreement that addresses Tribe’s/Consortium’s and the Secretary’s respective responsibilities regarding the management of fiduciary trust records. This specific section will include the definition of ‘‘fiduciary trust records,’’ ‘‘Indian trust assets,’’ and ‘‘management.’’ The language to be negotiated into the 2006 Title I and Title IV funding agreements regarding fiduciary trust records management is the following and will replace the three options used in the past. The Tribe/Consortium and Secretary agree to the following: The Tribe/Consortium agrees to: (a) Preserve, protect and manage all fiduciary trust records, created and/or maintained by the Tribes/Consortia during their management of trust programs in their Title IV agreements. (A fiduciary trust record is any document that reflects the existence of an Indian trust asset and was used in the management of an Indian trust asset.
