SUMMARY:NIAC Hearing on Reporting and Collecting Data on MMIP
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter \nJune 13-14\, 2023\nBlue Lake Casino and Hotel\n777 Casino Way\nBlue Lake\, CA 95525\nRegister here if you plan to attend the hearing in person. \nIn October 2020\, the Not Invisible Act of 2019 was signed into law—to increase coordination in identifying and combating violent crime within Indian lands and against Indians—in response to the longstanding crises of missing and murdered Indigenous people (MMIP) and human trafficking (HT). \nPursuant to section 4 of the act\, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland and I established the Not Invisible Act Commission (Commission)\, which consists of Federal and non-Federal members. More information on the Commission and its members can be found here. The Commission is required\, by October 2023\, to submit a final report to Congress\, the Attorney General\, and me with recommendations on how to improve intergovernmental coordination\, bolster resources\, and establish best practices for State/Tribal/Federal law enforcement to help combat this epidemic of violence. \nTo help achieve this requirement of section 4\, the Commission is holding national hearings to solicit public testimony at multiple locations to shape its final report recommendations on specific MMIP and HT topics. These hearings will provide a forum for law enforcement\, subject-matter experts\, organizations\, State/Tribal task forces\, advocates\, survivors/families\, and other stakeholders to offer testimony directly to the Commission in order to improve cross-jurisdictional communications\, increase access to resources\, and address other issues related to the MMIP and HT crises.\nPlease join the next Commission hearings—details are above. Additional dates and locations are here. \nRegistration and Hearing Information: \nCommission members will lead the public hearings to address topics specified under the act and listed above. Each hearing will include open-press segments\, as well as closed-press segments that provide privacy to participants without media being present. Trauma-informed support will be available onsite with optional follow-up support\, as needed. The Commission’s facilitation team will be present to document all oral testimony. Please note that any information provided during the hearings—including oral testimony and written comments—is considered public record\, so please protect nonpublic or sensitive information accordingly. Register here if you plan to attend the hearing in person. \nWritten Testimony and Questions: \nSubmit written testimony\, recommendations\, or questions to the Commission at NIAC@ios.doi.gov. Include the following in the subject line: “NIAC Testimony” or “NIAC Question.”

SUMMARY:BSEE Directors Tribal Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Greetings Tribal Leader\, \nYou are invited to participate in a virtual roundtable discussion with Kevin Sligh\, the Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) to discuss our Tribal Engagement Program. Over the past year\, BSEE has been working diligently to expand its National Tribal Engagement Program (NTEP). Expansion of the Program includes the hiring of a new Tribal Liaison Officer\, a Tribal Coordinator\, and additional Regional Tribal Liaisons who will be locally accessible points of contact for the Alaska\, Gulf of Mexico\, and Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Regions\, as well as the Eastern Seaboard. \nThe BSEE has the authority to oversee safety and environmental standards related to offshore energy and mineral exploration\, development\, and production under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. This authority allows BSEE to regulate energy-related activities on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf\, which is seaward of states’ jurisdiction off of the west coast in the Pacific Ocean; off of Alaska in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas\, the Bering Sea\, and Cook Inlet; in the Gulf of Mexico; and off of the East Coast in the Atlantic Ocean. \nWhile the purpose of the Tribal Roundtable is for BSEE to discuss the BSEE National Tribal Engagement Program with interested Tribes\, we also intend to use the roundtable to describe some of our key initiatives. We will explain how the BSEE regions and program offices collaborate and plan to work together with Tribes so you will have an expanded voice in Federal actions that may have Tribal implications. BSEE intends to proactively involve Tribes early and often in decisions to ensure meaningful and robust engagements and consultations as we move forward with the expansion of our Tribal Engagement Program nationally. \nAs part of the discussion\, we would like for you to consider these questions: \n\nDoes your Tribe have any cultural\, historical\, and present day needs on or related to the Outer Continental Shelf that you would like to discuss?\nDo you have any questions or concerns beyond the topics listed in the proposed agenda that you would like BSEE to include for discussion?\nCan you please recommend conferences or meetings that would be appropriate for our Tribal Liaisons to attend that can help us understand your issues or needs?\n\nWe are looking forward to hearing from your Tribal Nation regarding any concerns or questions you have about BSEE’s mission and furthering ongoing discussions in the future. If you would like to submit your response to the questions ahead of the Roundtable\, please submit them to our Tribal Liaison Officer Jack Lorrigan\, jack.lorrigan@bsee.gov. \nYou are invited to join us for this interactive virtual session on June 26\, 2023\, beginning at 2:00PM EST. \nPlease Register in advance for this meeting: https://bseegov.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJItcu6vqzstHYOkIPJ9EUSaJiJD3x_4k8I \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n  \nDear Tribal Leader Letter
