## Abstract

The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) is removing existing regulations on Arrangement with States, Territories, or Other Agencies for Relief of Distress and Social Welfare of Indians. The program governed by this rule is now administered under regulations in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. Eliminating this rule will remove any confusion regarding the process for providing certain social services to the tribes.
