Description:

The United States Department of the Interior is implementing measures to assist the Secretary of the Interior in performing Indian Trust responsibilities and providing services to federally-recognized tribes. These measures include realigning the Bureau of Indian Affairs Central Office functions, having the Commissioner of Indian Affairs report directly to the Secretary, and proposing legislation for BIA block grants to tribes. The realignment includes transferring operational activities to area and agency offices, reducing non-essential staff in the Central Office, and separating responsibilities for Indian Trust obligations and service delivery. The proposed organization structure includes separate offices for Trust Responsibilities, Economic Services, Education, Tribal Services, and Natural Resource Rights.
