2. Recommendations for appropriate
standards to determine fair and
appropriate compensation;
3. An assessment of tribal selfdetermination and sovereignty interests
implicated by applications for rights-ofway on tribal land; and
4. An analysis of relevant national
energy transportation policies.
The Departments propose the
following work plan to meet the specific
requirements of the Act and meet the
congressionally mandated deadline for
submittal of the final report.
1. DOI and DOE plan to conduct a
series of pre-scoping phone calls and
meetings with selected tribal leaders,
members of the energy industry,
appropriate government entities and
affected businesses and consumers to
discuss the various aspects of the report
called for by section 1813. Participants
in this pre-scoping work group will be
identified through suggestions tribal
leaders, other prominent Indian groups,
business associations, and government
organizations. The outcome of these prescoping discussions will provide useful
detail and direction for the subsequent
stages of the work plan.
2. DOI and DOE propose to contract
with a Department of Energy National
Laboratory to prepare an analysis of
historical rates of compensation for
pipelines crossing Indian land (as
specified in section 1813(b)(1)), using a
case study approach. We plan to direct
the analysts to solicit and collect data
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Tribal
Governments, the energy industry, and
other appropriate sources (e.g., the
National Archives and Records
Administration) for this analysis.
3. In February 2006, DOI and DOE
plan to jointly conduct a 2-day nationwide scoping meeting with
presentations from all affected groups,
soliciting input on the subjects of
appropriate standards and procedures
for determining fair and appropriate
compensation, tribal self-determination
and sovereignty interests, and relevant
national energy transportation policies.
At this meeting, we propose to establish
several working groups to solicit and
further develop information on each of
these subjects.
4. Between February and May 2006,
DOI and DOE plan to conduct up to two
workshops for each of these working
groups. We expect to draw extensively
on the results of the groups’ efforts in
preparing the report to Congress.

5. In May 2006, DOI and DOE plan to
prepare a draft report, send copies to the
tribes, and publish a notice of
availability in the Federal Register.
6. Between May 2006 and mid-July
2006, DOI and DOE plan to conduct
three regional Tribal consultation
meetings to present the draft report and
to receive written and oral comments on
the draft.
7. DOI and DOE will consider these
comments in preparing a final report for
delivery to Congress by August 7, 2006.
The Departments request public
comment on proposed work plan in
addition to any other areas of concern
regarding the section 1813 study. We
will accept comments until January 20,
2006.
