DOI's Alaska Native Corporation Consultation Policy and Procedures

As we continue our efforts to improve the U.S. Department of the Interior's (Department) efforts to consult with Alaska Native Corporations, we have developed preliminary drafts of updates to our Departmental Alaska Native Corporation Consultation policy and procedures. Once we have your input, the Department will incorporate the policy into the Departmental Manual (DM) at Part 512, Chapter 6 (512 DM 6) and consultation procedures at Chapter 7, (512 DM 7).

The draft seeks to:

• Outline the requirements for consultation between Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Corporation officials and Department officials;
• Clarify that the Departmental Manual chapter applies to all Department bureaus and offices;
• Identify the responsibilities of the Department bureaus and offices in the consultation process; and
• Establish an ANSCA Corporation consultation annual report for Department bureaus and offices.

Please email any written input to consultation@bia.gov by 11:59 p.m. AKDT, Monday, October 17, 2022.
