SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Background In June 2016, Congress passed the Indian Trust Asset Reform Act (ITARA), Public Law 114–178. Title III, Section 305(a) of ITARA requires that appraisals and valuations of Indian trust property be administered by a single bureau, agency, or other administrative entity within the Department by December 22, 2017. Currently, the Office of Appraisal Services (OAS), within the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians (OST), conducts appraisals of Indian trust property, while the Office of Valuation Services (OVS) conducts appraisals of non-Indian trust property, as well as mineral evaluations for Indian and non-Indian property. In 2016, the Department held ten consultation sessions and a listening session with Tribes in various locations VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:30 Mar 27, 2018 Jkt 244001 throughout the United States regarding Sections 303, 304, and 305 of ITARA, and held an open period for the submission of written comments. During consultation, the Department sought input on six options for the consolidation of appraisals and valuations and invited Tribes to suggest additional options. New Appraisals and Valuation Services Office (AVSO) The Department conducted an inventory and analysis of the OAS’s current functions, and then assessed options for the future of those functions. After careful consideration of feedback from Tribes and individuals, and close collaboration with our internal stakeholders, the Department decided to consolidate OAS and OVS into a single office: the Appraisals and Valuation Services Office (AVSO), to be located in the existing Office of Policy, Management and Budget. On March 19, 2018, Secretary Zinke signed Secretarial Order No. 3363 consolidating appraisal and evaluation functions for trust property into the AVSO. The efficiencies garnered from administration by a single entity will enhance the Department’s ability to improve the delivery of appraisal and minerals evaluation services to our clients. The Department is hosting two information sessions for Tribes on this action to consolidate the OAS and OVS into a new AVSO. Tribal Information Sessions Call-In Information The toll-free call-in number for the sessions are as follows: • April 24, 2018: (877) 918–1345, participant code 8512946. • April 25, 2018: (877) 918–1345, participant code 8512946.
