The Department of the Interior (Department) gives notice that the Office of the Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs (AS-IA) proposes to determine that the petitioner, Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians (Petitioner #146), is not an Indian Tribe within the meaning of Federal law. This notice is based on a determination that Petitioner #146 does not meet one of the seven mandatory criteria for a government-to- government relationship with the United States. This proposed finding (PF) is based on only one criterion.
