HHCA Beneficiary Association?
1. What is the definition of an
. ..
. ,
" .
. .
A Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) Beneficiary Association means an
organization controlled by beneficiaries (as defined by the Hawaiian Home Lands
Recovery Act, 109 Stat. 537) who submitted applications to the State of Hawaii
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) for homesteads and are awaiting the
assignment of a homestead; represents and serves the interests of those
beneficiaries; has as a stated primary purpose the representation of, and provision
of services to, those beneficiaries; and filed with the Secretary of the Interior
(Secretary) a statement, signed by the governing body, of governing procedures
and a description of the beneficiaries it represents. 43 CFR §§ 47.10 and 48.6.
2 What is the definition of a Homestead Association?
Homestead Association means a beneficiary controlled organization that
represents and serves the interests of its homestead community; has as a stated
primary purpose the representation of, and provision of services to, its homestead
community; and filed with the Secretary a statement, signed by the governing
body, of governing procedures and a description of the territory it represents. 43
CFR §§ 47.10 and 48.6.
3. What is the purpose of the Homestead and Beneficiary Associations List?
e The purpose of the Homestead and Beneficiary Associations (HBA) List is to
assist the Department of the Interior (Department) to communicate and
work with HBAs in its efforts to administer the Federal laws governing the
Hawaiian Home Lands Trust and Hawaiian Home Lands Trust Funds
(collectively, the "Trust"). The HBA List is maintained by the U.S. Department
of the Interior Office of Native Hawaiian Relations (Office) in accord.with 43
CFR parts 47 & 48.
The Department expects other Federal agencies will also use the HBA List
when working on issues involving the Trust.
4. Must all Homestead Associations and HHCA Beneficiary Associations
participate on the HBA List?
No. Placement on the HBA List is voluntary and associations are not required to
participate. It is anticipated, however, that Federal agency officials will rely on the
HBA List to assist with their reasonable and good faith efforts to identify a
beneficiary or homestead association to be notified or consulted with when
required by statute or when otherwise desired by an agency.
5. Can multiple Homestead Associations serving the same home lands area
register?
Yes. There is no limit on the number of Homestead Associations serving a
particular home lands area.
6. How does a Homestead Association register for the HBA List?
e A Homestead Association must certify in a written statement, signed and
dated by the organization's governing body, submitted to the Secretary that
the organization:
o Is controlled by HHCA beneficiaries;
o Represents and serves the interests of its homestead community; and,
o Has as a stated primary purpose the representation of, and provision of
services to, its homestead community.
O The certification must also include:
o Valid U.S. mailing and e-mail addresses to which the organization wants
notifications sent;
o A statement of governing procedures (e.g., a copy of the organization's
governing documents);
o A summary of the services it provides to its homestead community;
o A description of the territory it represents; and,
o Consent to the publication of the above information and posting for
public access on the Office's webpage.
O The organization will be placed on the HBA List upon a determination that the
requested certification and information are complete.
O It is a violation of Federal law to make false, fictitious, or fraudulent
statements to the Federal Government.
O Send the certification to: Office of Native Hawaiian Relations, 1849 C Street
NW. MS 3561, Washington, DC 20240, or PO Box 50165, Honolulu, HI 96850.
7. How does an HHCA Beneficiary Association register for the HBA List?

affirmatively requesting removal from the HBA List.
