SUMMARY:FCC Listening Session on Proposed Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 29 at 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Eastern \nRegistration is free; all attendees must register.  To register\, please send an email message to Tribal.Events@fcc.gov with “Cybersecurity” in the Subject line. Please include the names and titles of anyone attending and include the Tribal affiliation. The FCC has invited leaders from all 574 federally recognized Tribes to participate in the consultation. Tribal library\, school\, and information technology (IT) representatives are also welcome to attend and may participate. \nYou may also send any questions to Tribal.Events@fcc.gov\, as this email address is monitored by the Office of Native Affairs and Policy. \nOn November 13\, 2023\, the Commission released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)\, WC Docket No. 23-234\, seeking comment on its proposal to establish a pilot program to learn more about cybersecurity and advanced firewall services that could help K-12 schools and libraries protect their broadband networks and data\, while also ensuring that limited Universal Service funds are utilized in the most effective manner. \nSummary:  The cybersecurity pilot program proposes to provide funding to eligible K-12 schools and libraries to defray the costs of qualifying cybersecurity and advanced firewall services to protect their broadband networks and data from the growing number of school and library-focused cyber events.  As proposed\, this pilot program would provide up to $200 million over three years\, and would be funded through the Universal Service Fund (USF)\, but budgeted separately from the Commission’s other USF programs.    \n  \nComments can be submitted through the FCC’s Electronic Comment and Filing System in Docket No. WC 23-234 at: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/standard  \n  \nReasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request by sending an e-mail to: FCC504@fcc.gov or calling the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice).  Include a description of the accommodation you will need and tell us how to contact you if we need more information.  Please make your request as early as possible as we may be unable to fulfill last minute requests.   \nIf you have any questions about this Listening Session or on another issue\, please reach out to the Office of Native Affairs and Policy (ONAP) at Native@fcc.gov.

SUMMARY:DOI Listening Session on Climate Adaptation Plan
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter \nFebruary 26 at 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Eastern |Register \nFebruary 27 at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern | Register \nFebruary 28 at 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Eastern | Register \nFebruary 29 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern | Register \nThe Department of the Interior (Interior\, the Department) invites you to participate in listening sessions regarding the Department’s planned update to its Climate Adaptation Plan. This update would succeed the existing Climate Action Plan\, issued on October 7\, 2021\, and fulfill direction laid out in section 211 of Executive Order 14008\, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad;” section 5(d) of E.O. 14030\, “Climate-Related Financial Risk;” and section 503 of E.O.14057\, “Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries And Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.”\nThe update\, renamed to “Climate Adaptation Plan” (CAP)\, is expected to evaluate exposure to climate hazards and drivers of change across the full suite of DOI buildings and employees\, and to the lands\, waters\, and cultural and natural resources it is responsible for stewarding. The CAP will also outline actions to address the threats these exposures present—through investments and changes to policy\, budgeting\, grant funding\, and training.\nInterior is working with Tribal Nations and Alaska Natives\, as well as the Native Hawaiian Community and Indigenous people of the U.S. Territories\, on a range of climate adaptation and resilience efforts. The Department also recognizes that Tribal Nations and Alaska Natives have shared input during recent consultations that can inform the development of the CAP. Interior will reference this input and incorporate it into the development of this plan.\nThe Department is seeking your input on several topics related to the potential content of the CAP\, including: \n\nWhat data and knowledge sources should we consider as we assess climate risk?\nRecognizing that all lands\, waters\, and those who inhabit them are important\, are there particular Interior-managed resources that hold special significance for Tribal Nations and/or Alaska Natives and should be considered for prioritization in climate adaptation planning?\nHow can the Department address exposure to climate hazards for these resources that hold special cultural or natural significance?\nHow can the Department incorporate climate resilience and accessibility for Tribal communities into its grants and funding opportunities?\nWhat barriers prevent the implementation of climate adaptation and resilience efforts on Tribal lands and in Tribal communities?\n\nThe Office of Policy Analysis will conduct four Tribal listening sessions listed below and will accept oral and written comments. Please register in advance for any listening session you plan to attend. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please note that these Tribal listening sessions will be closed to the press and the public to protect confidential information that may be discussed during the sessions. \nThe Department welcomes your written comments\, which should be submitted by email to\nryan_richards@ios.doi.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 30\, 2024. If you have any\nquestions\, please contact Ryan Richards at ryan_richards@ios.doi.gov.

The newly accessible tax credits include the major/green energy production tax credit\, investment tax credits\, as well as credit for qualified clean commercial vehicles\, credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property\, and credit for carbon oxide sequestration. \nIn addition to tax credits\, the IRA increased loan authority under the Tribal Energy Financing Program at DOE to $20 billion.
