SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 30, 1995, Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown signed DOC’s first American Indian and Alaska Native Policy. That policy recognized the unique legal and political status of federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native tribal governments, and the Federal Government’s trust responsibility to American Indian tribes. The policy acknowledged the right of American Indian Tribes and Alaska Natives to selfgovernment which flows from their inherent sovereignty and relationship with the Federal government. The goal of the policy was to ensure that tribal rights and concerns were addressed through consultation tribal governments prior to implementing any action when developing legislation, regulations, or policies that would affect tribal governments, their economic and social development activities, and their lands and resources. On April 26, 2012, Secretary of Commerce John Bryson issued DAO 218–8 to implement the requirements of Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (November 6, 2000), and the Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation (2009). On May 21, 2013, Acting Secretary Rebecca Blank issued a new Tribal Policy that builds upon and expands the 1995 DOC Policy. The 2013 policy establishes the manner in which the Department works with tribes on a government-to-government basis when formulating or implementing policies that have tribal implications. This DOC policy outlines consultation procedures for all Department operating units when mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES DATES: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:13 Jun 21, 2013 Jkt 229001 developing policies that have tribal implications.
