Abstract: The regulations at 25 CFR

as added Pub. L. 107–110, title X,
§ 1042, Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2007).
These regulations require the BIE to
implement national standards for homeliving situations in all BIE-funded
residential schools. The BIE must
collect information from all BIE-funded
residential schools in order to assess
each school’s progress in meeting the
national standards. Submission of this
information allows the BIE to ensure
that minimum academic standards for
the education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
On December 4, 2009, the
Commission published a draft NEPA
manual in the Federal Register (74 FR
63765). The purpose of the manual was
to establish the Commission’s NEPArelated policies and procedures and to
integrate environmental considerations
into the Commission’s decision-making
processes. The draft manual identified
one type of major federal action
performed under the Indian Gaming
Regulatory Act (IGRA) that triggered
NEPA review, specifically, the approval
of contracts for the management of
Indian gaming facilities pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 2711. In addition to identifying
major federal actions applicable to the
Commission, the draft manual also
established the Commission’s NEPArelated roles and responsibilities and
created a framework for the preparation
of NEPA documentation appropriate for
each level of environmental review. The
draft manual also identified three
categories of actions taken by the NIGC
that are categorically excluded from
further NEPA review. Categorical
