SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ITARA became law on June 22, 2016. Title 
II of ITARA authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to 
establish and carry out an Indian trust asset management demonstration 
project (demonstration project or project). The demonstration project 
will allow participating Tribes to enter into, approve, and carry out 
surface leasing transaction or forest land management activity without 
approval of the Secretary if certain conditions are met.
    Once the demonstration project is established, eligible Tribes may 
request to participate by submitting to the Secretary a complete 
application package. Applications must include a copy of a resolution 
or other appropriate action by the governing body of the Indian Tribe 
in support of or authorizing the application and state that the Indian 
Tribe is requesting to participate in the demonstration project. The 
Secretary will provide a written notice to each Tribe approved to 
participate in the project.
    Tribes that have been selected to participate in the project may

Indian trust assets that are located within the reservation, or 
otherwise subject to the jurisdiction, of the Indian Tribe;
    (C) Allocate trust asset management funding that is available for

asset management objectives and priorities;
    (D) Identify functions or activities that are being or will be

    The Secretary may approve an Indian trust asset management plan 
that includes a provision authorizing the Tribe to enter into, approve,
