Recommendation Implementation Status
Recommendations in Response to Task G Findings
Interagency Agreements
Adopt interagency agreements to increase TFPA activities on federal lands where tribes have off-reservation treaty rights and on sites where tribes identify that action is needed. (Recommendation G6, page 194)
New provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill authorizes DOA/USFS to fund TFPA projects using P.L. 638 agreements. In 2022, the USFS entered into 11 co-stewardship agreements with 13 tribes involving TFPA and other co- management activities. With transition to self-governance, much of the focus for interagency agreements is between federal agencies and tribes. 2018 Farm Bill provides new authority for DOA/USFS delivery of funds for TFPA projects through P.L. 93-638 AFAs. Agreements involving BIA concerning funding delivery have not been specifically addressed in follow-up implementation.
