For the purposes of eligibility for grants authorized by Section 138 of the CAA, EPA uses the definition of “Indian Tribe” in Section 302(r) of the CAA which provides that the term “...means any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or community, including any Alaska Native village, which is Federally recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians.” Note that this definition does not include Alaskan Native Corporations or State-recognized tribes.
