Every Industry and Sector Know someone exceptional? Nominate them for Best of State The Interior Department an- nounced changes at the Bureau of Indian Affairs on Wednesday to help improve its management of American Indian Assets. The shake-u- p is purt of a comprehensive strategy for fixing problems that have plagued the BI A's management of royalties for oil, gas and grazing on Indian lands. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth demanded the proposals in September when he held Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Assistant Secretary for Indian Aflairs Neal McCalob in contempt of court for failing to solve the problems. McCaleb said the largely bureaucratic changes are a part of what the judge requested. The department is also working on standards for accounting Tor the Indian money, but the new framework is an essential element to build our strategic plan on." The complete strategy is due to Lamberth hy Jan.6. McCaleb and other department officials met with tribal leaders for nearly a year, negotiating the best way to improve the departments management of the Indians money. The departments first plan, released without consultation with tribes, was strongly opposed by tribal leaders, leading to the negotiations. Those talks broke down when the dedepartment refused to give into mands by tribes that a panel of financial exports and Indian representatives have the power to investigate department practices and sanction the Interior secrotary for mismanag vi ing tho money. But McCaleb said the 45 meetings held around the country produced consensus on what needed to be done, and that was included in tho plan released Wednesday. A primary feature is the addition of about 75 trust officers on or near Indiun reservations who will act as a sort of customer service representative to help answer questions from Indian landowners about tho proceeds from their land. Were going to give the beneficiaries the ability to walk in and not get shuffled around, said Donna Erwin, acting special trustee in charge of managingthc Indian royalties. A rating system will be adopted to evaluate how trust offices are doing their jobs and clear new lines of authority will be drawn for Bureau of Indian Aflairs officials. And two new deputy assistant secretaries will be appointed- - one for information resources management and another for economic ment, a pet project for McCaleb, who said it could solve the economic malaise in Indian Countiy. Congressional appropriutora must approve the restructuring before it can take effect. It is expected to cost $5 million to implement the changes. Norton said the changes will help increase accountability and beneficiary service for the Indians that we serve," The federal government manages 56 million acres of land on behalf of 315 tribes and more than 300,000 Indians nationwide.
