ebenthall on PRODPC61 with NOTICES
• Interviewees were supportive of
negotiating to improve the fairness,
efficiency and transparency of the
funding formulas for all aspects of
school facilities funding
• There is a need to integrate the
formal negotiation with less formal
methods of consulting with the tribes
who will not have seats at the table. CBI
suggests a national workshop for all
tribes with school facilities as part of the
preparation for the negotiation process.
This workshop could help identify
options for the negotiating committee to
work with.
• Representation of the tribes on the
negotiating committee is required by the
NCLB Act to be roughly proportional to
the percent of students each tribe has in
the system. For the majority of tribes
(i.e. beyond the top eleven for student
population), there will need to be a
process for sharing seats or otherwise
developing representation structures.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB
Act) requires the Department of the
Interior to use procedures set out in the
Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1996,
Pub. L. 104–320, Section 563 when
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:02 Oct 19, 2007
Jkt 214001
developing regulations to implement the
NCLB Act’s provisions regarding
schools operated or funded by the BIA.
BIA has used negotiated rulemaking to
address six (6) of the seven (7)
regulations required under the NCLB
Act. DOI and BIA want to assess the
feasibility of using the negotiated
rulemaking process to develop the final
rule, dealing with school construction
and repair.
In the fall of 2006 DOI sought
assistance with this effort from the U.S.
Institute, an independent impartial
government entity with expertise in
convening, assessment and alternative
dispute resolution processes. In
accordance with its statutory authority,
the 1998 Environmental Policy and
Conflict Resolution Act (Pub. L. 105–
156, codified at 20 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.),
the U.S. Institute conducted a
convening assessment. For more
information on the U.S. Institute, please
visit https://www.ecr.gov.
The U.S. Institute contracted with an
independent, impartial convening team,
the Consensus Building Institute (CBI),
to carry out interviews and prepare a
draft convening report. The scope of the
draft convening report includes views
on school facility topics identified from
the NCLB Act and the opportunities of
and barriers to negotiated rulemaking.
To understand the range of perspectives
on or interests in these topics, the
convening team conducted 200
confidential interviews with tribal
officials or their designees,
representatives of BIA-funded or grantfunded tribal schools, and others with
an interest in Bureau-funded school
facilities construction on the following:
• Interviewees’ views on the
substantive issues listed above;
• Suggestions for how diverse
geographic, size, and tribal interests can
best be represented on a Negotiated
Rulemaking Committee;
• Any concerns or barriers to the
establishment of and successful
execution of a Negotiated Rulemaking
Committee on these topics; and
• Consultative activities and potential
approaches to consultation that the
Bureau might undertake regarding these
issues.
The draft convening report reflects
CBI findings and preliminary
recommendations to DOI, BIA, and BIE
based on these interviews. The draft
report will be made available to all
interviewees for comment. Upon receipt
of comments, CBI and the U.S. Institute
will consider all comments and prepare
a final report for the Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs and
Bureau of Indian Education. All
comments received on the draft will be

made available to DOI, BIA, and BIE.
The final report will also be made
available to the interviewees, all
interested tribes, and the general public
via a Web site link.
