SUMMARY:IHS Tribal Consultation on Updated Draft of the IHS Tribal Consultation Policy
DESCRIPTION:August 9 at 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nThe IHS Director’s Advisory Workgroup on Tribal Consultation (Consultation Workgroup) met in June to review feedback from prior Tribal consultations on this topic and discuss pending items. The Consultation Workgroup achieved consensus on the decision to align the IHS TCP with both the Executive Order (EO) 13175\, Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationships\, and the  Presidential Memorandum on Uniform Standards for Tribal Consultation. The Workgroup also agreed to align the IHS TCP with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Tribal Consultation Policy. Many of the most recent updates to the IHS TCP\, as seen in the redline\, sought to align it with the above documents. \nThe upcoming Tribal consultation seeks to gather input on the IHS TCP as a whole\, as well as on a point where the Consultation Workgroup did not achieve consensus. The Consultation Workgroup failed to reach consensus on how to respond to the Congressional mandate that federal agencies consult with Alaska Native Corporations (ANCs.) The IHS is seeking input on whether to include ANCs in the IHS TCP or create a separate policy for consulting with ANCs. In 2021\, USET SPF commented to IHS during a previous consultation on the IHS TCP in accordance with the Biden Administration’s directive that all federal agencies update their TCPs. In our comments\, USET SPF maintained our position that the consultative relationship is between Tribal Nations and the federal government only\, in recognition of our Nation-to-Nation\, sovereign-to-sovereign diplomatic relationship. Federal agencies and programs should not consult on a nation-to-nation basis with non-governmental entities\, such as ANCs. While we acknowledge that there are occasions when the input of ANCs should be considered\, USET SPF asserts that this should not be done through consultation\, which is reserved for sovereign Tribal Nations\, but rather through a “confer” process. \nMore information on this consultation\, including the question IHS provided for consideration and both the clean and redlined versions of the IHS TCP\, can be found in the Dear Tribal Leader Letter.

SUMMARY:USDA APHIS Listening Session on the Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program Standards
DESCRIPTION:September 18 at 1:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nWeb Join URL\nZoom Join URL:\nMeeting ID: 161 989 8808\nMeeting Password: xFkhgX2db\nDial-in information: +1 669- 25-4 5252 US | +1 646- 82-8 7666 US \nThe U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) seeks your and your staff’s input on revising the Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Herd Certification Program (HCP). \nThe HCP is a cooperative effort between the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS)\, State animal health and wildlife agencies\, and farmed cervid owners. APHIS coordinates with these State agencies to encourage cervid owners to certify their herds and comply with the CWD Herd Certification Program Standards. The goal of the HCP is to provide a consistent\, national approach to control the incidence of CWD in farmed cervids and prevent the interstate spread of CWD. Achieving this goal will ultimately result in several important long‐term outcomes\, including: \n\nHealthy cervids (both farmed and wild populations) with a reduced risk of CWD.\nIncreased confidence that HCP‐certified herds are at low risk for CWD infection.\nStrong trade of cervid animals and products (increased market confidence).\nReduced risk of transmission from\, and environmental contamination by\, CWD‐positive herds.\n\nYou may provide written comments or questions during the session using the meeting chat function\, registration form\, or file written comments before\, during\, or after the meetings by emailing CWD@usda.gov or mailing to Dr. Hillary A. McManama\, Veterinary Medical Officer\, Cervid Health Staff\, Strategy and Policy\, Veterinary Services\, APHIS; c/o Ms. Melanie Rouse\, 4700 River Road Unit 43\, Riverdale\, MD 20737. Written comments by attendees or other interested stakeholders will be welcomed for the public record up to the close of business on Monday\, November 13\, 2023. Please refer to Docket No. APHIS-2023-0042 when submitting your comments.
