SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Tejon Indian Tribe submitted to BIA a request with supporting documentation to designate Kern County, California, as its service area under 25 CFR 20.201.

This notice designates Kern County, in the State of California, as the service area appropriate for the provision of BIA financial assistance and/or social services for the Tejon Indian Tribe. The part 20 regulations have full force and effect when a tribe operates the BIA financial assistance and/or social services in the service area location.

Dated: May 1, 2017.
Michael S. Black,
Acting Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs.
