that have occurred in the 30 years since the regulations were last
updated; clarify how to administratively appeal actions from each
Indian Affairs official; allow for more expedited reviews of requests
to compel action by an Indian Affairs official; and add provisions to
allow for administrative appeals of Statements of Performance issued by
the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration. Additional information may be
found at https://www.bia.gov/tribal-consultation/25-cfr-part-2-administrative-appeals.
