SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The TTAC was established pursuant to the 
Tribal General Welfare Exclusion Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113-168, or 
TGWEA). The TTAC advises the Secretary on matters related to the 
taxation of Indians, training, and education for Internal Revenue 
Service field agents who administer and enforce internal revenue laws 
with respect to Indian tribes; and training and technical assistance 
for tribal financial officers. The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 
1995, 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq. (UMRA), provides an exemption from FACA, 5 
U.S.C. 1001 et seq., for intergovernmental consultations. The exemption 
applies to meetings between Federal officials and elected officers of 
State, local, and tribal governments (or their designated employees 
with authority to act on their behalf) acting in their official 
capacities; and that relate to the management or implementation of 
Federal programs established pursuant to public law that explicitly or 
inherently share intergovernmental responsibilities or administration. 
The TTAC is comprised of seven members with four being appointed by 
Congress and three being appointed by the Secretary. Until recently, 
the TTAC members did not meet the standard to apply the UMRA's 
exemption from FACA for intergovernmental consultations. Over the past 
two years, the terms of the appointed committee members have expired, 
and the Secretary and Congress have reappointed three past members and 
appointed four new members. All seven of the reappointed or newly 
appointed TTAC members are elected tribal government officials or 
tribal government program officers. Therefore, the UMRA's exemption 
from the FACA for intergovernmental consultations now applies to the 
TTAC for as long as the members continue to meet its requirements.

Meetings

    The TTAC estimates that it will hold three in-person/hybrid 
meetings annually that will be open to the Tribal public. The Tribal 
public is defined as Tribal leaders, Tribal citizens, and Tribal and 
Native organizations. Notice of these Tribal public meetings will be 
given via the Office of Tribal and Native Affairs (OTNA) newsletter and 
published on the TTAC's web page. A transcript of the Tribal public 
meetings will be posted to Treasury's TTAC website.
    The TTAC also may decide to meet as frequently as necessary outside 
of Tribal public meetings. Notice of these meetings will be given to 
TTAC members via email correspondence. The OTNA will keep internal 
notes for these meetings.
