Overview:
Indigenous peoples maintain place-based knowledge that represents thousands of years of managing relationships with natural resource. This diversity embodies multiple ways of understanding resilient interactions between humans and the ecosystem. Traditional cultural and ecological knowledge is sound science and has been passed down for generations through oral traditions. FEMA acknowledges that Tribal Nations and Indigenous peoples have built and maintained resilience through traditional ecological knowledge well before non-Indigenous people came to North America or the United States became a country.
FEMA is leading an effort to create national resilience guidance and resources for the whole community to help everyone understand and fulfill their critical roles related to increasing national resilience. The guidance and resources will promote a common understanding of resilience, incorporate the impacts of and relationship between chronic stressors and shocks, address the critical roles of all stakeholders, and inspire people-centered planning approaches to increasing community and national resilience. The guidance will also recognize that resilience is more than just being prepared for disasters and encompasses a wide swath of social, economic and environmental issues.
To better serve Tribal Nations and to provide the most inclusive guidance to all, FEMA will host a Tribal listening session to provide an overview of the draft resilience guidance and to gather feedback from Tribal leaders about resilience. FEMA’s ultimate goal for this listening session is to ensure Tribal Nations perspectives and experiences are reflected in this guidance.
Participation:
The virtual tribal listening session will be hosted on the Zoom for Government platform.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common respiratory virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms but can also affect the lungs. While most children recover from an RSV infection in a week or two, RSV infection can be dangerous for infants and some young children, causing difficulty breathing, low oxygen levels, and dehydration. RSV is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends two new immunizations to prevent severe RSV disease in infants and older babies.
During this COCA Call, presenters will give a comprehensive overview of CDC’s new recommendations to prevent severe RSV disease in infants, including clinical guidance and considerations for administering RSV immunizations to infants and pregnant people during weeks 32 through 36 of pregnancy.
If you are unable to attend the live COCA Call, the recording will be available for viewing on the COCA Call webpage a few hours after the live event ends.
The slide set will be available on the day of the call on the COCA Call webpage under Call Materials.
Free Continuing Education (CE) will be offered for this COCA Call.
Registration is not required.

Anchorage, AK 99501
The Policy is available at this link.
Indian Affairs would like to determine how to compensate Self Governance Tribes for CSC, when they
are NOT required to submit budgets, yet certain data is necessary to calculate the amount of CSC due
to the Tribe annually.

Is the Federal proposal of two data calls, one on recurring base funding and a second at the end
of the year a viable proposal?
The Workgroup Federal representatives recommend that two data calls be released at least 30
days prior to due dates. The recommended due dates for base funding CSC data are September
1 for fiscal year funding agreements and November 1 for calendar year funding agreements.
The recommended due date for full-year data is July 1 for fiscal year funding agreements and
October 1 for calendar year funding agreements. Should this or another calculation and
payment schedule be considered?
There are a small number of Self Governance Tribes that have not submitted year-end CSC
data, therefore the annual 100 percent requirement is unknown. What is the Tribal
recommendation regarding this matter?
In lieu of negotiating Direct CSC line by line, the CSC Policy formula for ALL tribes is below.
DCSC = (current Tribal budgeted salary cost {not including fringe} of section 106(a)(1)
programs) x 18%.
The DCSC need cannot be calculated in accordance with the CSC Policy, and in the same
equitable manner as Tribes entering into contracts under Title I, without receipt of a Tribe’s
“budgeted salary cost.” The CSC Policy would need to be changed to allow the use of “best
available” data or data that is 4 years old.
a) Is there support for changing the CSC Policy to utilize “best available” data or salaries up to
four years old for DCSC?
How would the Department reconcile ensuring equitable treatment with Title I contracts
submitting current budgets (with salary and fringe) that equal the current year contract
amounts?
Section 1.10 of the CSC Policy outlines the formula for calculating Indirect CSC:
Indirect CSC = Current approved IDC rate(s) x (the Secretarial Amount awarded to the
Tribe, minus exclusions and pass-through).
The CSC Policy explicitly clarifies that a “current” IDC rate can be up to four years old. If a
Tribe has no approved IDC rate or has an approved IDC rate that is over four years old, the
Tribe may negotiate a lump sum amount for indirect-type costs or may utilize the Simplified
Method, if applicable. Furthermore, Section 1.10 of the Policy states, “[i]f a Tribe does not
initiate any of these options, IA will not pay the Tribe any indirect CSC.”
While the CSC Policy allows for an IDC rate that is up to four years old, it does not allow for
use of previous years’ salary, fringe, exclusion or passthrough data to calculate the current year
100 percent CSC need. The CSC Policy would need to be changed to allow the use of “best
available” data.
a) Does the Tribe support changing the CSC Policy to utilize “best available” data?
b) If so, what sources should be considered “best available” data for calculations of CSC for
the data elements of 1) Tribal Budgeted Salary 2) Tribal Budgeted Fringe (if necessary);
and 3) Exclusions and pass-throughs?
c) If a Tribe does not submit current year data, at what point would IA utilize “best available”
data for calculation and payment?
Section 1.12 of the CSC Policy outlines cutoff timeframes for IDC rates as below.
In order to facilitate equitable treatment and establish standard cutoff timeframes:
• The IDC rate that will be applied is the applicable rate at the end of the Tribe’s fiscal
year. No adjustments to that IDC rate will be made after the end of the Tribe’s fiscal
year, without regard to the later issuance of a different DC rate for that period.

They welcome your written comments, which should be submitted by email to consultations@bia.gov by
11:59 pm ET on December 29, 2023.
