The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is assessing the impacts of moving of the BLM Headquarters (HQ), including various functions and staff, to Grand Junction, Colorado, as well as moving most positions that were stationed in Washington, DC to various offices in the West.

July 12, 2021, at 2:00 pm -4:00 pm Eastern (zoom link)
July 13, 2021, at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern (zoom link)

Alternatively, you are invited to provide written comment on this topic to consultation@blm.gov by July 16, 2021.
The BLM is seeking the following information on the location and restructuring of BLM HQ functions, including how to optimize BLM services provided to you:

In what ways does the location of BLM HQ impact Tribes, Alaska Natives, and Tribal corporations?
In what ways have services to Tribes, Alaska Natives, or Tribal corporations changed and/or remained the same since BLM HQ’s move out West in late-2019? How can services be improved?
Are there concerns for how restructuring the BLM HQ and other key positions across the West has impacted services provided to Tribes, Alaska Natives, or Tribal corporations?
Are there additional relevant issues you would like to raise that BLM should consider in its review of the function of BLM HQ and other positions that were transferred out of Washington, DC?

The BLM points of contact for this project are Danna Jackson (available by phone at (406) 422-9154 or by email at djackson@blm.gov) and Byron Loosle (available by phone at (202) 302-1442 or by email at bloosle@blm.gov).

2021-07-15 12:00 - 14:00 | United States
OMB to Host Historic, First-Ever Tribal Consultation on President’s FY 2022 Budget Request
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has announced that it will host a Tribal consultation on the President’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Budget. This is a historic announcement since OMB has never consulted with Tribal Nations on a Presidential Budget Request. Feedback and input received on the FY 2022 Budget will also help to provide guidance on the formulation of the President’s FY 2023 Budget.
Details on the upcoming Tribal consultation on the President’s FY 2022 Budget are as follows—

Date/Time: Thursday, July 15, 2021 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm ET
Dear Tribal Leader Letter
Click Here to Register for the Tribal Consultation

OMB is seeking Tribal Leader comments and recommendations on the following FY 2022 Budget items—

Proposals to reclassify Contract Supports Costs, Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance Act Section 105(l) Lease costs, and enacted Indian Water Rights Settlements payments as mandatory beginning in FY 2023.
Other feedback on the FY 2022 President’s Budget for programs and activities serving Tribal governments, organizations, and communities.
Ensuring adequate and stable funding by considering options for a potential mandatory funding proposal for the Department of Health and Human Services’ Indian Health Service in future President’s Budgets.

OMB will conduct another consultation on the President’s FY 2023 Budget, which will include this topic, in 2021, but this July session can start the process of seeking Tribal Leaders’ views on some of the major questions around developing such a proposal.

How OMB can improve Tribal funding transparency, such as through changes to OMB’s annual Native American Funding Crosscut.

OMB will be accepting written comments until July 23, 2021, which can be sent via email to tribalconsultation@omb.eop.gov.
