How must a limitation or reduction in services, contracts, or funds be remedied?
February 24, 2021
(a) If funding a participating Tribe/Consortium will limit or reduce services, contracts, or funds for which another Tribe/Consortium or Tribal organization is eligible, BIA must remedy the reduction as follows:
(1) In the current AFA year BIA must use shortfall funding, supplemental funding, or other available BIA resources; and
(2) In a subsequent AFA year, BIA may adjust the AFA funding in an AFA to correct a finding of actual reduction in services, contracts, or funds for that subsequent year.
(b) All adjustments under this section must be mutually agreed between BIA and the participating Tribe/Consortium.
