SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

116–180), the Negotiated Rulemaking
Act (5 U.S.C. 561 et seq.), and the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. ch. 10). The Committee is to
negotiate and reach consensus on
recommendations for a proposed rule
that will replace the existing regulations
at 25 CFR part 1000. The Committee
will be charged with developing
proposed regulations for the Secretary’s
implementation of the PROGRESS Act’s
provisions regarding the Department of
the Interior’s (DOI) Self-Governance
Program.
The PROGRESS Act amends
subchapter I of the Indian SelfDetermination and Education
Assistance Act (ISDEAA), 25 U.S.C.
5301 et seq., which addresses Indian
Self-Determination, and subchapter IV
of the ISDEAA, which addresses DOI’s
Tribal Self-Governance Program. The
PROGRESS Act also authorizes the
Secretary to adapt negotiated
rulemaking procedures to the unique
context of self-governance and the
government-to-government relationship
between the United States and Indian
Tribes. The Federal Register (87 FR
30256) notice published on May 18,
2022, discussed the issues to be
negotiated and the members of the
