SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination 
Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-411, approved October 14, 
2008) (NAHASDA Reauthorization) reauthorizes The Native American 
Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Act of 1996 (25 U.S.C. 4101 
et seq.) (NAHASDA) through September 30, 2013, and makes a number of 
amendments to the statutory requirements governing the Indian Housing 
Block Grant Program (IHBG) and Title VI Loan Guarantee programs. For 
more information on the IHBG and Title VI of NAHASDA, please see the 
background section of the Notice of Negotiated Rulemaking Committee 
Meeting published on February 22, 2010 at (75 FR 7579). The NAHASDA 
Reauthorization amends section 106 of NAHASDA to provide that HUD shall 
initiate a negotiated rulemaking in order to implement aspects of the 
2008 Reauthorization Act that require rulemaking. On January 5, 2010 
(75 FR 423), HUD published a Federal Register notice announcing the 
final list of members of the negotiated rulemaking committee (the 
Native American Housing Assistance & Self-Determination Negotiated 
Rulemaking Committee). On February 22, 2010 (75 FR 7559), HUD published 
a Federal Register notice announcing the first meeting of the 
negotiated rulemaking committee.
