Summary

The Secretary must write rules to move Indian tribes and tribal housing authorities from the old housing law to the new law. Within 90 days after October 26, 1996, the Secretary must publish a notice and set any transition steps. That notice must ask for public comments and say that a proposed rulemaking is coming. Final rules must be issued by September 1, 1997, and must take effect no later than October 26, 1996. All rules for this program must be made using a negotiated rulemaking process under federal rulemaking law. After the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2008 (and any later reauthorization), the Secretary must create a negotiated rulemaking committee within 180 days, using procedures adapted to the government-to-government relationship and including only federal representatives and tribes of different sizes and regions; tribes may let their tribally designated housing entities speak for them. The Secretary must start negotiated rulemaking within 90 days after such a reauthorization and finish issuing rules within 2 years. The Secretary must review the rules with tribes at least once every 7 years. The law took effect on October 26, 1996.
