SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2011,
President Obama announced the United
States’ commitment to the global
Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative (EITI). Given the significant
role that the Department of the Interior
plays in collecting revenue for resource
extraction on federal lands, the
President named Secretary Ken Salazar
as the senior U.S. official responsible for
implementing of the United States
Extractive Industries Transparency
Initiative (USEITI). Currently, the
Federal Government collects revenues
on behalf of some tribes and individual
allottees (amounting to $538 million in
the Federal Fiscal Year (ending on
September 30, 2011) and then
distributes the revenues through others.
In February, we sent a Dear Tribal
Leader letter, inviting tribes to provide
initial comment on USEITI and
formation of the Multi-Stakeholder
Group responsible for overseeing its
implementation. Later that month, we
also published a notice in the Federal
Register seeking public comment on
formation of a multi-stakeholder group
to implement USEITI (74 FR 11151). In
that notice, we stated that we would
hold a series of public listening sessions
to provide additional opportunities for
public comment. In March, we held
listening sessions in St. Louis, Missouri;
Denver, Colorado; Houston, Texas; and
Washington, DC. The Consensus
Building Institute (CBI), an independent
third-party facilitator, analyzed the
input from these four public listening
sessions, interviews with potential
stakeholders, and written comments
that we received. This input has formed
the basis of CBI’s independent
stakeholder assessment and findings
regarding options for establishing the
U.S. Multi-Stakeholder Group, which
will be responsible for implementing
USEITI.
The CBI stakeholder assessment is
available online at www.doi.gov/EITI.
Alternatively, you may request a copy of
the assessment from Saman Hussain
whose contact information is listed
above in this Notice. We encourage
tribes to participate in the public

comment period through June 29, 2012,
to provide feedback on the stakeholder
assessment and recommended options
for establishing the U.S. MultiStakeholder Group. During the public
comment period, five public listening
sessions, a public webinar, a public
workshop, and a tribal consultation
session will be held. Details on
participating in the webinar will be
available from Saman Hussain and
online at www.doi.gov/EITI.
