Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 101 / Friday, May 23, 2008 / Notices
formally responded to a TA review
letter or when a petitioner requests to be
placed on the ‘‘Ready’’ list or states in
writing in a document certified by the
petitioner’s governing body that the
petition is complete or that the Assistant
Secretary should proceed with the
active consideration of the petition.
VII. Decision Against Acknowledgment
Based on Failure To Meet Fewer Than
Seven Criteria
If during the evaluation of a petition
on active consideration it becomes
apparent that the petitioner fails on one
criterion, or more, under the reasonable
likelihood of the validity of the facts
standard, OFA may prepare a proposed
finding or final determination not to
acknowledge the group on the failed
criterion or criteria alone, setting forth
the evidence, reasoning, and analyses
that form the basis for the proposed
decision. This process should be used to
increase the speed of the decisionmaking process and better utilize the
time and expertise of OFA professional
staff. Thus, this process is most
appropriate when the deficiency
becomes apparent during the initial
stages of active consideration.
If a proposed finding against
acknowledgment is issued on fewer
than seven criteria and if, following an
evaluation of the evidence and
argument submitted during the
comment period, it is determined that
the petitioner meets the criterion or
criteria, then the Assistant Secretary
will issue an amended proposed finding
evaluating all seven criteria.

VIII. Integrity
If OFA suspects that a petitioner may
be involved in illegal activities or has
submitted fraudulent documents for the
Federal acknowledgment process, OFA
should continue to refer any such
matters to the Office of the Solicitor and
Inspector General to seek appropriate
action (such as investigation,
prosecution, or other action).
IX. ‘‘Inactive’’ Status
In order to more accurately gauge its
workload, OFA should modify its
‘‘Status Summary’’ publication to
include only those petitioners that have
submitted a documented petition and
responded to a TA review letter. The
‘‘register of letters of intent or
incomplete petitions’’ maintained under
§ 83.10(d) should be maintained
separately and include a category of
‘‘Inactive Petitioners.’’ This inactive
category should include those
petitioners that have not responded in
two years to a TA review, have missed
suggested deadlines for responding to

the TA review, or have missed
deadlines in its approved research plan
of action. It should also include those
petitioners that have submitted only a
letter of intent, or are not otherwise
ready for the initial TA review.
Dated: May 16, 2008.

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
