Status of Recommendations Recommendation 2: Update NRC office procedures to include more specific direction on how to coordinate with FSTB and how to work with Tribes.
Agency Response Dated April 26, 2021: On December 10, 2020, the EDO issued Yellow Announcement YA-2020-0095, Interim Guidance Implementing the U.S. Government Accountability Office Recommendation for Informing Tribes of Final Agency Decisions and Notice to Update Office Procedures Regarding Coordination with Tribal Input. The announcement provided immediately effective direction to all offices and programs that supplements guidance contained in MD 5.1 and TR-100, Tribal Liaison Roles and Responsibilities, for Tribal interactions. Consistent with MD 5.1 and TR-100, this guidance immediately established that all programs that need to communicate with Indian Tribes coordinate those communications by contacting FSTB (now MSTB). MSTB has coordinated with all programs known to have interactions with Indian Tribes to ensure that they are aware of the direction contained in the Yellow Announcement. NMSS considers this recommendation to be closed.
OIG Analysis: The OIG reviewed YA-2020-0095 and agrees this meets the intent of the recommendation. Therefore, this recommendation is now closed.
Status: Closed.
