§5636 Cost Savings

Summary

The Secretary must identify any program or part of a program the Office of the Special Trustee will stop running after people and duties are moved. The Secretary must list each affected program or service and say how much money would have been spent on each. That list must be given to the tribal representatives on the Tribal‑Interior Budget Council and to any other tribal groups that advise the Secretary on funding. Within 90 days after getting the list, those tribal representatives and advisors may give recommendations on how the money or savings should be reallocated, put into future budget requests, or appropriated to the Secretary, the Office of Management and Budget, the House Appropriations Committee, the House Natural Resources Committee, the Senate Appropriations Committee, or the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
