March 18, 2010: NACO opposes HR 3697 & 3742
Overall, NACo supports changes to the fee to trust
process which absolutely respects tribal sovereignty while: 1) providing meaningful notice to local
governments; 2) facilitating good faith government to government consultation on proposed projects and
impacts; 3) encouraging intergovernmental mitigation agreements to address off-reservation project
impacts; and 4) compensating local government for tax loss equivalents related to the land’s development.
