ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Department of the Interior (Department) gives notice that the Assistant Secretary–Indian Affairs (AS–IA) proposes to determine that the petitioner, Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation (SSM), is not an Indian Tribe within the meaning of Federal law. This notice is based on a determination that SSM does not meet one of the seven mandatory criteria for a government-togovernment relationship with the United States. This proposed finding is based on only one criterion. DATES: Comments on this proposed finding (PF) are due on or before May 22, 2019. We must receive any request for a technical assistance meeting by January 22, 2019. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice for more information about these dates. ADDRESSES: Please address comments on the PF or requests for a copy of the report to the Department of the Interior, Office of the Assistant Secretary–Indian Affairs, Attn: Office of Federal Acknowledgment, 1849 C Street NW, MS–4071 MIB, Washington, DC 20240. Parties who make comments on the PF SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00056 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 59409 must also provide a copy of their comments to the petitioner. R. Lee Fleming, Director, Office of Federal Acknowledgment (OFA), (202) 513– 7650. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 25 CFR 83.10(h), the Department gives notice that the AS–IA proposes to determine that the Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation (SSM, Petitioner #82), c/o William H. Leonard, 4630 Ben Hur Road, Mariposa, California 95338, is not an Indian Tribe within the meaning of the Federal law. This notice is based on a preliminary finding that the petitioner fails to satisfy one of the seven mandatory criteria for acknowledgement set forth in 25 CFR 83.7(a) through (g), and thus, does not meet the requirements for a government-togovernment relationship with the United States. The Department received a letter of intent from the petitioner under the name ‘‘American Indian Council of Mariposa County’’ (AICMC) on April 24, 1982, and designated it Petitioner #82. The petitioner submitted a narrative and partial documentation on April 19, 1984. The Department replied with an ‘‘obvious deficiency’’ (OD) review letter on May 1, 1985. The petitioner responded with documentation on December 12, 1986. At the request of the petitioner, the Department sent a second OD review letter on April 11, 1988. The Department received the petitioner’s response on January 16, 1998. The Department then placed Petitioner #82 on the ‘‘Ready, Waiting for Active Consideration’’ list. Active consideration began on November 1, 2010, after which the Department asked for an updated membership list and any other materials within 60 days (70 FR 16514). The petitioner requested an ‘‘extension of time to submit documentation,’’ and the Department received the petitioner’s submission on February 8, 2011, containing documentation, meeting minutes, membership list, articles, newspapers, and governing documents. During review of Petitioner #82’s documented petition, OFA identified technical issues with the petitioner’s membership files that needed to be resolved in order to complete the review for the PF. For this reason, the AS–IA extended the original due date for issuance of the PF, from November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012. During further review, additional technical issues with the petitioner’s membership vital records arose, and the AS–IA found good cause to suspend the issuance of the PF under 83.10(g).
