Trust Management Reform: Repeal of Outdated Rules

The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is removing nine outdated parts of Title 25 CFR. This action is meant to further fulfill the Secretary's responsibility to federally- recognized tribes and individual Indians by ensuring that regulations, policies, and procedures are up-to-date. The parts being removed include regulations relating to distribution of tribal funds among tribal members, establishment of private trusts for the Five Civilized Tribes, distribution of Osage Judgment Funds, assignment of future income from the Alaska Native Fund, payment of Sioux benefits, preparation of a competency roll of Osage Indians, reallotment of lands to Indian children, resale of lands within the Badlands Air Force Range, and registration of reindeer ownership in Alaska. In the interests of economy of administration, and because all of the regulations proposed to be removed are outdated, they are included in one rulemaking vehicle.
