§5636 Cost Savings

Summary

When a program, service, or part of one stops being run because its jobs and duties were moved after this law passed, the Secretary must figure out how much money would have been spent to run each affected item. The Secretary must give a list to the tribal representatives on the Tribal-Interior Budget Council or other advisers who work on Indian program budgets. The list must name the programs or parts that ended and the money tied to each. Within 90 days after getting that list, those tribal representatives and other advisers may send recommendations about how to reassign the money or use the savings, or include it in future budget requests. They may send their recommendations to the Secretary; the Office of Management and Budget; the House Appropriations Committee; the House Natural Resources Committee; the Senate Appropriations Committee; and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs.
