LEGAL FRAMEWORK:
Executive Orders Guiding BPA Activities Affecting Columbia River Basin Fish & Wildlife


Executive orders are official documents through which the President of the United States manages operations of the Federal Government. BPA actions to protect, mitigate, enhance, and recover fish and wildlife in the Columbia River Basin are guided by the following Executive Orders:

Executive Order  Citation Description
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments E.O. 13175 (Nov. 6, 2000) Requires executive agencies to respect Indian tribal self governance and sovereignty, honor tribal treaty and other rights, and strive to meet the responsibilities that arise from the unique legal relationship between the federal government and tribal governments. Each agency shall have an accountable process to ensure meaningful and timely tribal input in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.
 
Government to Government Relations with Native American Tribal Governments Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies (April 29, 1994) Requires, among other things, that executive agencies operate within a government-to-government relationship with federally recognized tribal governments; consult to the greatest extent possible with tribal governments before taking actions that affect tribal governments; and agencies assess the impact of federal government plans, projects, programs, and activities on tribal trust resources and ensure that tribal rights and concerns are considered in developing them.
 
Regulatory Planning and Review E.O. 12866 (September 30, 1993) Establishes a program to reform and make more efficient the regulatory process, including making the process more accessible and open to the public. Wherever feasible, agencies are required to seek the views of appropriate state, local and tribal officials before imposing regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect them.
 
Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership E.O. 12875 (October 26, 1993) Prohibits executive agencies, to the extent feasible, from promulgating any regulation not required by statute that creates a mandate upon a state, local, or tribal government, unless funds necessary for direct costs of the mandate are provided by the federal government or the agency has consulted with affected state, local, or tribal government. Requires agencies to develop effective processes to permit state, local, and tribal representatives to provide meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory proposals containing significant unfunded mandates.
