SECTION 1. GENERAL

.01 PURPOSE The purpose of this revenue procedure is to provide a modified and supplemented list of Indian tribal governments that are to be treated similarly to states for specified purposes under the Internal Revenue Code.

.02 CHANGES One tribe was added to the list of Indian tribal governments published in Rev. Rul. 2001-15. In addition, there were several tribal name changes.

.03 BACKGROUND The Indian Tribal Governmental Tax Status Act of 1982 (Title II of Pub. L. No. 97-473, 1983-1 C.B. 510, 511, as amended by Pub. L. No. 98-21, 1983-2 C.B. 309, 315) added certain provisions to the Code that pertain to the status of Indian tribal governments. Section 7871 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 305.7871-1 of the Income Tax Regulations provide that Indian tribal governments (or subdivisions thereof) will be treated as states for certain enumerated federal tax purposes. For example, charitable contributions to or for the use of a tribal government may be deductible under the federal income, gift, and estate tax laws; a tribal government is entitled to exemption from certain excise taxes; taxes imposed by a tribe may be deductible; and public activity bonds may be tax exempt obligations. Section 1065 of the Tax Reform Act of 1984, 1984-3 (Vol. 1) C.B. 556, made permanent the rules treating Indian tribal governments (or subdivisions thereof) as states (or political subdivisions thereof).

.04 DEFINITIONS The term "Indian tribal government" is defined under section 7701(a)(40) of the Code, as amended, to mean the governing body of any tribe, band, community, village or group of Indians, or (if applicable) Alaska Natives that is determined by the Secretary of Treasury, after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior, to exercise governmental functions. Section 7871(d) of the Code states that, for purposes of section 7871(a), a subdivision of an Indian tribal government shall be treated as a political subdivision of a state if (and only if) the Secretary of the Treasury determines (after consultation with the Secretary of the Interior) that such subdivision has been delegated the right to exercise one or more of the substantial governmental functions of the Indian tribal government.

SECTION 2. APPLICATION

.01 QUALIFICATIONS The following modified and supplemented list of Indian tribal entities, including Indian tribes, bands, communities, villages, and groups of Indians, as well as Alaska Natives, represents Indian tribal governments and is subject to these qualifications:

(1) The list does not include Indian tribal subdivisions because the determination of which entities qualify as subdivisions is discussed in Rev. Proc. 84-36, 1984-1 C.B. 510, as modified by Rev. Proc. 86-17, 1986-1 C.B. 550.

(2) Temporary Regulation section 305.7701-1(a) defines "governmental functions" for purposes of defining an Indian tribal government or political subdivision thereof. Tribal entities not appearing on this list may apply for a ruling on whether they qualify pursuant to all applicable procedural rules set forth in the Statement of Procedural Rules (26 CFR Part 601), and guidelines set forth in Rev. Proc. 84-37, 1984-1 C.B. 513, as modified by Rev. Proc. 86-17, 1986-1 C.B. 550, and Rev. Proc. 2001-1, 2001-1 C.B. 1.

(3) Inclusion on a published list does not necessarily establish that a tribe qualifies for a particular tax benefit. For example, when a tribal entity seeks exemption from excise taxes, the entity must be able to demonstrate that the underlying transaction involves the exercise of an essential governmental function of the Indian tribal government.
