Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

In June 2014, the Department of the Interior issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) to solicit public comments on whether and how the Department of the Interior should facilitate the reestablishment of a government-to-government relationship with the Native Hawaiian community.

All comments submitted on the ANPRM are available on the regulations.gov website.
