Consultation: Indian Affairs Workforce Efficiency and Productivity - EO 14210
2025-06-05 00:00 - 23:59, 2025-06-06 | Hybrid Event, TN
Dear Tribal Leader Letter As we navigate the complexities of our nation’s fiscal realities, President Trump and his Administration are working to enhance government efficiency while upholding trust and treaty obligations across Indian Country. Our objective is to streamline operations while minimizing any potential impact on the quality of services provided to Tribes. To that end, Indian Affairs -which includes the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), the Bureau of Trust Funds Administration (BTFA), and the Office of the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs seeks to engage directly with federally recognized Tribes to receive formal input on critical needs as we develop plans to implement operational improvements. Indian Affairs and other agencies within the U.S. Department of the Interior (Department) remain committed to fulfilling our responsibilities efficiently and effectively. On February 11, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order (EO) 14210 establishing the “Department of Government Efficiency” Workforce Optimization Initiative, which aims to reform the Federal workforce to maximize efficiency and productivity. Under this directive, each agency is required to develop an Agency Reorganization Plan. In support of this effort, the Department is committed to receiving formal consultation feedback from Tribes regarding the EO and related topics. Multiple sessions are scheduled; all are hybrid unless otherwise noted. Times, locations, and registration information are on the BIA’s website.

Consultation on DOI Strategic Plan

Dear Tribal Leader,

The Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) requires federal agencies to publish a strategic plan one year after a presidential inauguration and to annually track the agencies performance in implementing the plan.

The Department of the Interior (the Department or Interior) is preparing to release its Fiscal Year (FY) 2026–2030 Strategic Plan in October 2025. The strategic plan outlines the Department’s strategic goals, objectives, and strategies for the next four years. The FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan may look a bit different than in years past as it will be more streamlined in length and presented at a very high level. Federal agencies will be developing shorter strategic plans to support the Administration’s goal of providing clear and concise documents to the American public.

Interior is committed to working in partnership with Tribal Nations to ensure the outcomes in the plan are meaningful and valuable to Tribal communities. To support this collaboration, the Department will host a series of virtual consultation sessions from June 16-26, 2025. These sessions will provide Tribal leaders the opportunity to offer input on the strategic goals and objectives, and to recommend performance measures and areas of learning. Feedback received will help inform the final plan.

We invite you to participate in this important dialogue and help shape the Department’s path forward. A preview draft framework is available at https://www.bia.gov/service/tribalconsultations/department-interior-fy2026-2030-strategic-plan. Please register in advance of the consultation you plan on attending. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please note, consultations will be closed to the press and the public to protect confidential information that may be addressed. Sessions are focused for each specific community, as noted below.

The consultations will be held virtually on:

June 17 – East Coast Tribal
3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

When submitting comments, we are specifically seeking insights on the following:

What changes would you like to see incorporated into the strategic goals, strategic objectives, or planned strategies in the FY 2026-2030 Strategic Plan?
What performance measures would you like to see the Department track?
Are there any questions you would like to see the Department pursue and learn about to become more efficient and effective?
