The Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation opposes the calling for negotiatedrule making by regional offices for the
distribution of road maintenance funding; and
CCT feels that any negotiated-rule making
should be at the national level in the
government-to-government process; and CCT
supports the use of the current national
maintenance distribution formula which consists
of land base, population, and road miles which
has been in existence since 1997, utilizing the
TPA Process.
