SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Indian Housing Block Grant (IHBG)
program is authorized by section 302 of
the Native American Housing
Assistance and Self Determination Act
of 1996 (NAHASDA). Under the Indian
Housing Block Grant (IHBG) program,
codified in 24 CFR part 1000.302,
Indian tribes can request an expansion
of their Formula Area that overlaps with
another tribe’s Formula Area. In
accordance with 24 CFR 1000.326(a)(3),
which became effective on December
22, 2016, State tribes are eligible to
request and receive Formula Area that
were already assigned to Federally
recognized tribes. According to
§ 1000.326(a)(3), when a State
recognized tribe’s Formula Area
overlaps with the Formula Area of a
Federally recognized Indian tribe, the
Federally recognized Indian tribe
receives the allocation for the Formula
Area up to its population cap, and the
State recognized tribe receives the
balance of the overlapping area (if any)
up to its population cap.
Pursuant to 24 CFR 1000.302, if a
tribe asks HUD for an expansion of their
Formula Area, after HUD makes its
preliminary determination, HUD must
notify all potentially affected Indian
tribes of the basis for its preliminary
determination by certified mail and
provide the Indian tribes with
opportunity to comment for a period of
not less than 90 days. After
consideration of the comments,
§ 1000.302 requires HUD to publish the
notice of final determination in the
Federal Register.
On March 14, 2017, the MOWA Band
of Choctaw Indian Tribe, a State
recognized tribe, requested that their
Formula Area be expanded to include
the balance of Mobile County in the
State of Alabama starting in Fiscal Year
(FY) 2017. The portion of the county
which is not reservation and trust lands
is referred to as the balance of county.
The Formula Area expansion requested
by the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indian
Tribe results in an overlapping Formula
Area with the Poarch Creek Tribe, a
Federally recognized tribe. In
accordance with § 1000.326(a)(3), HUD
made a preliminary determination on
December 4, 2017, that the MOWA Band
VerDate Sep<11>2014

of Choctaw Indian Tribe meets the
requirements for expanding its Formula
Area to include the balance of Mobile
County, Alabama. In accordance with
§ 1000.302, HUD notified the Poarch
Creek Tribe about the basis for its
preliminary determination by certified
mail and provided opportunity to
comment for a period of not less than
90 days. The required notification was
sent to the Poarch Creek Tribe on
December 4, 2017. As of March 5, 2018,
no comments were received. Therefore,
HUD made a final determination to add
the balance of Mobile County, Alabama
to the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indian
Tribe’s Formula Area starting in FY
2017. The Tribe submitted their request
for FY 2017 determination, therefore
this final determination will apply to
the Tribe’s request retroactively.

Pursuant to 24 CFR 1000.302, if a tribe asks HUD for an expansion

HUD must notify all potentially affected Indian tribes of the basis for

less than 90 days. The required notification was sent to the Poarch
Creek Tribe on December 4, 2017. As of March 5, 2018, no comments were
received. Therefore, HUD made a final determination to add the balance
of Mobile County, Alabama to the MOWA Band of Choctaw Indian Tribe's
Formula Area starting in FY 2017. The Tribe submitted their request for
FY 2017 determination, therefore this final determination will apply to
the Tribe's request retroactively.
