ONAP logo 2010 Negotiated Rulemaking Documents

    The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-411, approved October 14, 2008) (NAHASDA Reauthorization) reauthorizes NAHASDA through September 30, 2013, and makes a number of amendments to the statutory requirements governing the IHBG and Title VI Loan Guarantee programs. The NAHASDA Reauthorization amends section 106 of NAHASDA to provide that HUD shall ''initiate a negotiated rulemaking by no later than 90-days after the enactment of the [2008 Reauthorization Act ]."

    On September 23, 2009, HUD published a Federal Register notice establishing the NAHASDA Reauthorization Act Negotiated Rulemaking Committee, and asked for tribal nominations to serve on the Committee. On January 5, 2010, HUD published a Federal Register notice naming those selected to serve on it. There were 25 tribal members and 2 HUD representatives. Six negotiated rulemaking sessions were scheduled.

    The first meeting was held in March 2010. Five subsequent meetings occurred. The final meeting was held in August 2010 in St. Paul, Minnesota. The proposed rule to implement the statutory amendments from the NAHASDA Reauthorization Act waspublished in the Federal Register on November 18, 2011. Public comments are due January 17, 2012. HUD will continue to work the tribal representatives to review public comments and develop the final rule. Click here for a copy of the proposed rule.
