Draft Department of the Interior and Department of Health and Human Services Internal Agency Procedures Manual for Contracting Under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act

Краткое содержание

The congress has declared that each provision of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Act) and each provision of contracts entered into thereunder shall be liberally construed for the benefit of the Indian tribes or tribal organizations (T/TO). To carry out this policy, the Department of the Interior and Department of Health and Human Services Internal Agency Procedures Manual for Contracting Under Title I of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (Manual) was drafted to facilitate and enhance contracting with T/TOs under Title I of the Act, as amended, 25 U.S.C. 450 et seq., and the regulations promulgated thereunder, 25 CFR part 900 (published in the Federal Register on June 24, 1996, and effective on August 23, 1996). The public is invited to review and comment on the draft Manual.
