Key Program Profiles

Road Maintenance Program Percentage of BIA-Owned
Roads in Acceptable Condition FY 2008 FY 2010
Q1

• Less than 15 of BIA-owned roads are in
  acceptable condition compared to 81 nationally
• Many BIA-owned roads not designed to high
  standards (e.g., currently gravel and dirt roads)
• Priorities for maintaining federal roads are at
  the discretion of Tribes
• 142 million in ARRA funding is expected to add
  200-300 miles of road in acceptable condition
• FY 2010 Q1 has shown marked improvement

12
Law Enforcement Program Violent Crime per
100,000FY 2008 FY 2010 Q1

• Violent crime is seasonal - peaks in summer
  months
• Crime rate has trended upward - from 419 per
  thousand in FY 2007 to 479 in FY 2009
• Violent crime in FY 2010 Q1 dropped significantly
  from FY 2009 Q1 partly to the Safe Communities
  Initiative
• DOIs high priority goal is to reduce violent
  crime on selected reservations by 5 in two years
• FY 2010 2012 violent crime rate is expected to
  decline by 10 as vacancies are filled at a
  faster rate and with additional funding for
  increased FBI presence in Indian Country

13
Probate Program Estates Closed FY 2008 FY
2010 Q1

• Ongoing goal is to close over 90 of all estates
  cleared by the Office of Hearings and Appeals
• Continuing resolutions in FY 2008 and FY 2009
  slowed the hiring rate for contract workers
• 90 of estates were closed in FY 09 despite a
  case workload that almost doubled from 4,500 to
  8,901.
• Standardization and streamlining of business
  processes has enabled Office of Trust Services to
  maintain a high percent of case closings.

14
Forestry Program Allowable Harvest Offered for
Sale FY 2008 FY 2010 Q1

• Depressed housing market has decreased demand for
  and the prices paid for forest products
• Decline in demand resulted in a 44 decline
  between FY 2007 and FY 2009
• Performance will not improve until housing market
  rebounds
• BIA partnership with Intertribal Timber Council
  will explore potential niche market for forest
  products
• May need to broaden the concept of forest
  products to capitalize on biomass available
  from harvesting. May have a stronger demand in
  an energy-conscious, green environment.

Bureau of Indian Education Adequate Yearly
Progress FY 2008 FY 2010 Q1

• Only annual data are reported on this performance
  measure
• Percent of schools making AYP dropped from 32 to
  24 in SY 2007-2008
• The decline occurred because reading and
  proficiency standards were raised in 21 of the 23
  states where BIA schools are funded
• BIE intensive efforts in enhanced reading and
  math programs should increase percentages of
  schools making AYP to 44 by SY 2012
