SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In consideration of the foregoing, the
Commission proposes to amend 18 CFR
part 35, Chapter I, Title 18,as follows:
1. The authority citation for part 35
continues to read as follows:
§ 35.10b
Rulemaking Act for the purpose of
developing regulatory changes to the
funding formula for the Indian Housing
Block Grant (IHBG) program authorized
under the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act
of 1996 (NAHASDA). This document
provides background information on the
NAHASDA program and describes the
steps in the negotiated rulemaking
process.
The Native American Housing
Assistance and Self-Determination Act
of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 et seq.)
(NAHASDA) changed the way that
housing assistance is provided to Native
Americans. NAHASDA eliminated
several separate assistance programs
and replaced them with a single block
grant program, known as the Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program.
The regulations governing the IHBG
formula allocation are codified in
subpart D of part 1000 of HUD’s
regulations in title 24 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. In accordance with
section 106 of NAHASDA, HUD
developed the regulations with active
tribal participation and using the
procedures of the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act of 1990 (5 U.S.C. 561–
570).
Under the IHBG program, HUD makes
assistance available to eligible Indian
tribes for affordable housing activities.
The amount of assistance made
available to each Indian tribe is
determined using a formula that was
developed as part of the NAHASDA
negotiated rulemaking process. Based
on the amount of funding appropriated
for the IHBG program, HUD calculates
the annual grant for each Indian tribe
and provides this information to the
Indian tribes. An Indian Housing Plan
for the Indian tribe is then submitted to
HUD. If the Indian Housing Plan is
found to be in compliance with
statutory and regulatory requirements,
the grant is made.

Through this document, HUD
announces its intent to initiate
Negotiated Rulemaking to review the
IHBG formula as required by program
regulations. This document also
provides an overview of the next steps
in the negotiated rulemaking process.
II. Negotiated Rulemaking
The basic concept of negotiated
rulemaking is to have the agency that is
developing a regulation bring together
representatives of affected interests for
face-to-face negotiations. The give-andtake of the negotiation process is
expected to foster constructive, creative
and acceptable solutions to difficult
problems.
Section 564 of the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act of 1990 requires that an
agency publish document(s) in the
Federal Register to do the following:
announce its intent to establish a
negotiated rulemaking committee; to
solicit nominations for selection to the
committee; to provide a list of the
proposed committee membership, and
to provide certain other information
regarding the formation of the
committee. HUD intends to publish
such documents in the near future.
