AGENCY:

Office of the Secretary, Interior.

ACTION:

Notice of tribal consultation meeting.

SUMMARY:

This notice announces a change of meeting dates reported in the Federal Register announcement of February 2, 2005 (70 FR 5457) and a new deadline for submitting written comments. The three consultation meetings are intended to obtain oral and written comments concerning: (1) A proposed policy on fiduciary trust records management for Self-Determination (Title I) and Self-Governance (Title IV) Tribes/Consortia; and (2) proposed language to be negotiated as part of the 2006 Title I and Title IV funding agreements regarding fiduciary trust records management.

This change is in response to requests from a number of Indian Tribes because two of the original dates conflicted with the National Congress of American Indians' meeting in Washington, DC which is scheduled from February 28, 2005 to March 2, 2005.
