Box 2937, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49501–2937, is not an Indian Tribe within the meaning of the Federal law.

Jkt 259001 The Department received a letter of intent from the Petitioner under the name ‘‘Grand River Band Ottawa Council’’ on November 16, 1994, and designated it Petitioner #146. On November 14, 1997, the Petitioner submitted a ‘‘Petitioner Update’’ form indicating that Petitioner #146 was now known as the ‘‘Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians,’’ with Ron Yob and Joseph Genia as Co-Chairs. The Petitioner submitted materials for its documented petition in December 2000, July 2004, and November 2004. The Department conducted an initial review 1 All citations to 25 CFR part 83 in this notice are to the version of the Federal acknowledgment regulations as revised in 1994 unless otherwise indicated.

In June 2006 and March 2007, the Petitioner supplied materials in response to the TA review letter. The Department then placed Petitioner #146 on the ‘‘Ready, Waiting for Active Consideration’’ list on March 28, 2007. The Department placed the Petitioner on active consideration on December 1, 2013. The Petitioner submitted no additional documents during the 60 days following, as allowed by the AS– IA’s notice of ‘‘information and guidance’’ of March 31, 2005 (70 FR 16514), and as advised by a Department letter of December 12, 2013. In a letter dated March 12, 2014, the Department exercised its option under the same guidance to ask for information the Petitioner had not submitted. In an August 27, 2014, the Petitioner furnished 569 membership files, a considerable increase from a membership list that the Petitioner had submitted in June 2014, which indicated the group had only 347 members. Additionally, thirty-six individuals on the June 2014 membership list also did not have membership files in the August 2014 submission. To ascertain the Petitioner’s membership, the Department asked for an updated membership list and an explanation of which membership files were current. The Petitioner supplied this information on October 31, 2014. Petitioner #146 provided additional material on December 13, 2016, which the Department had requested in a teleconference with the group on November 3, 2016. Due to these submission delays and the Department’s competing priorities, including the review of other pending petitions, the Department extended the deadline for the PF to September 30, 2015. In the interim, on July 1, 2015, the Department issued a final rule that revised the acknowledgment regulations effective July 31, 2015. In a letter dated August 28, 2015, the Department provided Petitioner #146 an opportunity to choose, by September 29, 2015, whether to complete the evaluation process under the revised 2015 regulations or complete its evaluation under the 1994 version of the acknowledgment regulations. By letter dated September 14, 2015, the Petitioner’s governing body informed the Department that it wished to have its petition evaluated under the 1994 regulations. On November 2, 2015, the Department acknowledged receipt of this letter and also extended the deadline for issuing the PF to March 28, 2016. E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM 27FEN1
