Abstract: As codified in 25 U.S.C.
4001 et seq., The American Indian Trust
Fund Management Reform Act of 1994
(the Reform Act) makes provisions for
the Bureau of Trust Funds
Administration (formerly known as the
Office of the Special Trustee for
American Indians) to administer trust
fund accounts for individuals and
Tribes. This collection of information is
required to fulfill the mission of the
Bureau of Trust Funds Administration
(BTFA) and the Secretary of the
Interior’s responsibility for evaluating
all Public Law 93–638 Compact Tribes
administering or managing trust
programs, functions, services, and/or
activities on behalf of the Secretary of
the Interior. This responsibility is
federally mandated pursuant to 25
U.S.C. 458cc(d) and 25 CFR 1000.350.
BTFA is responsible under 25 U.S.C.
4041 for overseeing the implementation
of trust reforms, trust accounting, and
coordination of trust policies intrabureau-wide related to the management
of Indian trust funds and assets. The
BTFA, Division of Trust Evaluation and
Review (DTER), formerly the Office of
Trust Audit and Review (OTRA), is
responsible for conducting tribal trust
evaluations on Tribes performing Indian
trust programs and functions pursuant
to a Tribal Self-Governance Compact or
Annual Funding Agreement. In
addition, DTER has a congressional
mandate to conduct Annual Tribal Trust
Evaluations for Tribes that compact
trust programs, functions, services, and/
or activities under Public Law 93–638

Self-Governance Compacts on behalf of
the Secretary of the Interior. This
authority is contained in 25 U.S.C.
5363(d)(1) & (2) and the enabling
regulations in 25 CFR 1000.350. DTER
currently collects Indian trust data and
documentation from Tribes in
fulfillment of performing the Tribal trust
evaluations for compacted Tribes. These
evaluations are enabled by performing
desk reviews (via email electronic
questionnaires), and on-site visits to
Tribes.
Under 25 CFR 1000.355, the
Secretary’s designated representative
will conduct trust evaluations for each
self-governance Tribe that has an annual
funding agreement. The end result is the
issuance of a report, which is required
by 25 CFR 1000.365. Currently, DTER
conducts either desk reviews and/or onsite reviews of trust operations where a
Tribe has compacted a trust program.
During that review, under current
methodology, interviews are conducted
and documents are requested. A draft
report is written and provided to the
Tribe for comment where applicable.
Comments received back are
incorporated into the report, and a final
report is issued to the Tribe.
