Native American Housing Assistance
and Self-Determination
Reauthorization Act of 1996: Request

negotiated rulemaking for the purpose
of developing regulatory changes to the
funding formula for the Indian Housing
Block Grant program authorized by the
Native American Housing Assistance
and Self-Determination Act of 1996.
This document explains how persons
may be nominated to serve as members
on the negotiated rulemaking
committee.
SUMMARY:
Nominations for committee
membership are due on or before:
November 19, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit nominations for
membership on the negotiated
rulemaking committee. There are two

I. Background
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 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
E:\FR\FM\18SEP1.SGM
18SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 18, 2012 / Proposed Rules
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.
On July 3, 2012 (77 FR 39452), HUD
published a document in the Federal
Register announcing its intent to initiate
negotiated rulemaking required by
Section 106 of NAHASDA and program
regulations found at 24 CFR 1000.306.
The July 3, 2012, Federal Register
document provides additional
information on the negotiated
rulemaking process.

II. This Document
This document is the next step in the
process of establishing the negotiated
rulemaking committee to review the
IHBG funding formula. Specifically, the
document solicits nominations for
membership on the negotiated
rulemaking committee and explains
how persons may be nominated for
committee membership. The committee
will consist of representatives of the
various interests that are potentially
affected by the rulemaking. Members
may include tribally designated housing
entities, elected officials of tribal
governments, and HUD representatives.
Members will serve at HUD’s discretion.
The Negotiated Rulemaking Act of
1990 (5 U.S.C. 561–570) provides, at 5
U.S.C. 565(b), that the membership of a
negotiated rulemaking committee
should generally be limited to 25
members. It is not required that each
potentially affected organization or
entity have its own representative. HUD
must be satisfied, however, that the
group as a whole reflects a
geographically diverse cross-section of
small, medium, and large Indian tribes.
III. Requests for Representation
If you are interested in serving as a
member of the committee or in
nominating another person to serve as a
member of the committee, you may
submit a nomination to HUD in
accordance with the ADDRESSES section
of this notice. Your nomination for
membership on the Committee must
include:
1. The name of your nominee and a
description of the interests the nominee
would represent;
2. Evidence that your nominee is
authorized to represent a tribal
government, which may include a
tribally designed housing entity of a
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
tribe with the interests the nominee
would represent, so long as the tribe
provides evidence that it authorizes
such representation; and
3. A written commitment that the
nominee will actively participate in
good faith in the development of the
rule.
HUD will determine whether a
proposed member will serve on the
committee. HUD will make its decision
based on whether a proposed member
would be significantly affected by the
proposed rule, whether the interest of
the proposed member could be
represented adequately by other
members, and whether space permits.
IV. Additional Notice
In accordance with section 564 of the
Negotiated Rulemaking Act of 1990,
prior to the establishment of the
negotiated rulemaking committee, HUD
will publish a document in the Federal
Register that will announce the
proposed membership of the committee,
solicit additional nominations for
membership, and provide additional
information required by the Negotiated
Rulemaking Act.
Dated: September 10, 2012.

Housing.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is hosting a
public meeting on November 15, 2012,
concerning monitoring, binning and
microbial toolbox information as part of
the regulatory review of the Long Term
2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment
Rule (LT2 rule). At this meeting, EPA
plans to discuss and solicit public input
on data and information related to
several topics. The first topic is the
results of the first round of LT2
Cryptosporidium monitoring that are
used to determine which one of the four

categories (i.e., bins) a public drinking
water system (PWS) should be placed.
The second topic is the implications of
predicted occurrence and bin category
placement that may result from a second
round of Cryptosporidium monitoring
using the existing or enhanced
analytical methods. The third topic is
the effectiveness of Escherichia coli as a
screen to identify small filtered PWSs
that need to perform Cryptosporidium
monitoring for bin placement. The
fourth topic is the determination of the
potential credits assigned to different
risk mitigation tools. EPA will also
provide background information on the
LT2 rule’s monitoring and binning
requirements, microbial toolbox options
for risk management, and the agency’s
Six Year Review process. EPA will
consider the data and/or information
discussed at this meeting during the
agency’s review of the LT2 rule, which
the agency has announced as part of
both the Retrospective Review Plan
under Executive Order (E.O.) 13563 and
the third Six-Year Review under the
Safe Drinking Water Act.
Date and Location: The public meeting
will be held on Thursday, November 15,
2012 (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern
Time). The public meeting will be held
at the EPA East Building, Room 1153,
1201 Constitution Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20460.
