II. Background
In January 2009, the Commission
directed the NRC staff to develop an
internal protocol for interactions with
Native American Tribal governments
that allows for custom approaches to
address the interests of both the NRC
and the Tribal governments on a caseby-case basis (SRM–M081211). On
November 5, 2009, President Obama
issued a Presidential Memorandum,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:08 Nov 28, 2014
Jkt 235001
‘‘Tribal Consultation’’ (74 FR 5881), that
reaffirmed Executive Order 13175,
‘‘Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (November
6, 2000; 65 FR 67249), and emphasized
the importance of strengthening
government-to-government
relationships with Native American
Tribes. In SECY–09–0180, ‘‘U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Interaction with
Native American Tribes,’’ dated
December 11, 2009, the NRC staff
reviewed its various interactions with
Native American Tribes, and noted that
these interactions were limited to a
small number of activities under the
NRC regulatory authority. At that time,
the NRC staff concluded that a ‘‘case-bycase’’ approach had proved effective in
interactions with Native American
Tribes by allowing for custom-tailored
approaches that met Commission and
tribal needs, and that no formal policy
was needed. The NRC staff also noted
that internal guidance on protocol
would further enhance the NRC staff’s
engagement with Native American
Tribes. The internal NRC guidance,
‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual: Guidance for
NRC Employees,’’ was developed and
issued in March 2010. It was revised in
October 2012.
III. Discussion
Section 161p. of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as Amended, permits the
NRC to make, promulgate, issue,
rescind, and amend such rules and
regulations as may be necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Act. This can
include the development of guidance
documents for implementation of the
NRC’s policies or provisions.
On October 12, 2012, the NRC
published the ‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual’’
for public comment and requested
public comments providing suggestions
for a proposed tribal consultation policy
statement (77 FR 62269) for a 180-day
comment period. After reviewing the
public comments on the October 2012
version of the Tribal Protocol Manual,
the NRC revised the staff guidance. The
NRC received six comment letters on
the Tribal Policy Statement and
protocol. Commenters included two
Tribal governments, two mining
associations, one inter-Tribal
organization, and a Tribal college. The
comments were grouped within the
topics of: (1) NRC Tribal
communication, (2) NRC Tribal
consultation, (3) NRC Tribal resources,
(4) terminology, (5) NRC map of Tribal

reservations near nuclear reactors, (6)
Federal-Tribal history, and (7)
contemporary Tribal conditions. The
NRC is making available ‘‘Tribal
Protocol Manual: Guidance for NRC
Staff—Comment Responses.’’
The NRC revised the Tribal Protocol
Manual to define consultation for the
NRC as ‘‘meaningful and timely
discussion with Tribal governments on
NRC regulatory actions that have
substantial direct effects on one or more
Indian Tribes.’’ The NRC revised the
Tribal Protocol Manual to better address
the unique relationship between the
United States and Tribes and how the
NRC exercises its trust responsibility.
The NRC also made changes to the
historical account of the Federal-Tribal
relationship. The Tribal Protocol
Manual now includes a general
discussion that addresses the
contributions of Treaties, policy, law,
court decisions, and Executive Orders to
Federal Indian law.
On August 27, 2014, the Commission
directed the NRC staff (‘‘Staff
Requirements—SECY–14–0006—Tribal
Consultation Policy Statement and
Protocol’’) to publish a draft ‘‘Tribal
Policy Statement,’’ which also appears
in today’s Federal Register, and ‘‘Tribal
Protocol Manual: Guidance for NRC
Staff, Revision 1’’ for comment. This
notice requests public comment on the
‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual: Guidance for
NRC Staff, Revision 1.’’ Public
comments that were received on the
October 2012 version of the Tribal
Protocol Manual and the NRC responses
to the public comments can be found in
‘‘Tribal Protocol Manual: Guidance for
NRC Staff—Comment Responses;’’ the
comments received on the October 2012
version of the Tribal Protocol Manual
are available through any of the
methods described in Section I,
‘‘Obtaining Information and Submitting
Comments,’’ of this document (i.e.,
through the Federal rulemaking site,
NRC’s ADAMS, or the NRC’s PDR). The
next scheduled revision of the Tribal
Protocol Manual will include changes
needed to conform to the final Tribal
Policy Statement and will be informed
by public comments on the revised
Tribal Protocol Manual.

with American Indian and Alaska
Native Tribes, and to encourage and
facilitate Tribal involvement in the areas
over which the Commission has
jurisdiction. The NRC is committed to
an open and collaborative regulatory
environment in the development and
implementation of activities that have
Tribal implications and welcomes
comments as a means of fostering
meaningful consultation and
coordination with Indian Tribes.
DATES: Submit comments on the
proposed Tribal Policy Statement by
March 31, 2015. Comments received
after this date will be considered if it is
