the tribe to govern its members or to
provide services to its members. This
term does not include matters that are
the subject of litigation or that are
undertaken in accordance with an
administrative or judicial order.
Secretary—Means the Secretary of
Labor.
Substantial Direct Compliance
Costs—Those costs incurred directly
from implementation of changes
necessary to meet the requirements of a
federal mandate. Because of the large
variation in resources among tribes,
‘‘substantial costs’’ will vary by Indian
tribe. Where necessary and appropriate,
the Secretary will determine the level of
costs that represent ‘‘substantial costs’’
in the context of an Indian tribe’s
resource base.
To the Extent Practicable and
Permitted by Law—Refers to situations
where the opportunity for consultation
is limited due to practical constraints
including time, budget, or other such
reason, and situations where other legal
requirements take precedence.
Tribal Committee, Task Force, or
Work Group—A group composed of
Indian tribal government officials or
their designees with authority to
represent their interests or act on their
behalf that is formed to work on a
particular policy, practice, issue, or
concern. This can include
representatives of existing organizations
representing federally recognized tribes,
such as the National Congress of
American Indians.
Tribal Officials—Tribal council
members and delegates, chairpersons, or
other elected or duly appointed officials
of the governing bodies of Indian tribes
or authorized intertribal organizations
or their designees with authority to
represent them or act on their behalf.
XI. Supplemental Terms and Effective
Date
1. Inapplicability of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA). In
accordance with section 204(b) of the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–4), the provisions of FACA
are not applicable to consultations
between the Federal Government and
elected officers of tribal governments or
their designated employees with
authority to act on their behalf.
Therefore, FACA is generally not
applicable to consultations undertaken
pursuant to this tribal consultation
policy. As the Office of Management
and Budget stated in its guidelines
implementing section 204(b):
This exemption applies to meetings
between Federal officials and employees and
* * * tribal governments acting through
their elected officers, officials, employees,
VerDate Mar<15>2010

and Washington representatives, at which
‘views, information, or advice’ are exchanged
concerning the implementation of
intergovernmental responsibilities or
administration, including those that arise
explicitly or implicitly under statute,
regulation, or Executive Order. The scope of
meetings covered by this exemption should
be construed broadly to include meetings
called for any purpose relating to
intergovernmental responsibilities or
administration. Such meetings include, but
are not limited to, meetings called for the
purpose of seeking consensus, exchanging
views, information, advice, and/or
recommendations; or facilitating any other
interaction relating to intergovernmental
responsibilities or administration. (OMB
Memorandum 95–20 (September 21, 1995),
pp. 6–7, published at 60 FR 50651, 50653
(September 29, 1995)).
If, however, DOL were to form an
advisory committee consisting of (nonfederally recognized) AI/AN
organizations or groups lacking the
government-to-government relationship,
the section 204(b) exception would not
apply and all FACA requirements
would need to be followed.
2. Reservation of Authorities. Nothing
in this policy waives or diminishes the
U.S. Government’s rights, authorities,
immunities, or privileges, including the
deliberative process privilege. Among
other things, internal communications
on the development of proposed
legislation, enforcement policy, and
other internal policy matters are part of
the deliberative process by the
Executive Branch and will remain
confidential.
Nothing in this policy waives or
diminishes any tribal rights, authorities,
immunities, or privileges including
treaty rights and sovereign immunities,
and this policy does not diminish any
rights or protections afforded to
individual AI/ANs under federal law.
3. Disclaimer. This document is
intended to improve the Department’s
management of its relations and
cooperative activities with Indian tribes.
DOL has no obligation to engage in any
consultation activities under this policy
unless they are practicable and
permitted by law. Nothing in this policy
requires any budgetary obligation or
creates a right of action against the
Department for failure to comply with
this policy nor creates any right,
substantive or procedural, enforceable at
law by a party against the United States,
its agencies, or any person.
Dated: April 12, 2012.

Secretary of Labor.

Notice of Determinations Regarding Eligibility To Apply for
Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2273) the Department of Labor herein presents summaries of
determinations regarding eligibility to apply for trade adjustment
assistance for workers by (TA-W) number issued during the period of

Determinations Terminating Investigations of Petitions for Worker
Adjustment Assistance
After notice of the petitions was published in the Federal Register
and on the Department's Web site, as required by Section 221 of the Act
(19 U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated investigations of these
petitions.
The following determinations terminating investigations were issued
because the petitioning groups of workers are covered by active
certifications. Consequently, further investigation in these cases
would serve no purpose since the petitioning group of workers cannot be
covered by more than one certification at a time.
