25 CFR Part 2 Administrative Appeals

The Department of the Interior is proposing to update its regulations at 25 CFR Part 2. These regulations govern administrative appeals of decisions issued by Indian Affairs officials. This proposed rule aims to:

• Reflect changes in Indian Affairs organization that has occurred in the 30 years since the regulations were last updated;
• Clarify how to administratively appeal actions from each Indian Affairs official;
• Allow for more expedited reviews of requests to compel action by an Indian Affairs official; and
• Add provisions to allow for administrative appeals of Statements of Performance issued by the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration.

In addition to joining one of the consultation sessions, please submit any written comments to consultation@bia.gov by Thursday, March 24, 2022. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Joaquin Gallegos, Special Assistant, Office of the Assistant Secretary - Indian Affairs, at joaquin_gallegos@ios.doi.gov or (202) 208-7163.
