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
https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8geQldpcRUmmVO24AI6kcA

After the last scheduled consultation session, the comment period will remain open for approximately 30 days. During the comment period, consultation session participants are invited to submit comments using the following consultation@bia.gov.

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?

Please reach out to the Office of Planning and Performance Management, at doi_strategic_plan@ios.doi.gov with any questions.

Under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA), the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Education (DOI/BIE) and the U.S. Department of Education (ED) are required to enter into an agreement for the distribution and use of certain ESEA funds for Covered Programs under terms that the Secretary of Education determines best meet the purposes of those programs. 20 U.S.C. § 7824(a)(2)(A). The agreement must set forth the plans of the Secretary of the Interior for the use of the amount transferred and the achievement measures to assess program effectiveness, including program objectives, and be developed in consultation with Indian Tribes. 20 U.S.C. § 7824(a)(2)(B). There was a substantially similar requirement in the ESEA prior to the ESSA amendments under which ED and DOI/BIE last entered into an Agreement in 2012. ED and DOI/BIE invite you to virtual tribal consultations to discuss the new draft Agreement on July 1, 2025.
The agreement defines the responsibilities of DOI/BIE and DOI/BIE-funded schools for Covered Programs. Specifically, Covered Programs included in the agreement are:

Title I, Part A (Improving Basic Programs Operated by Local Educational Agencies)
Title I, Part B (State Assessment Grants)
Title II, Part A (Supporting Effective Instruction)
Title IV, Part A (Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grants)
Title IV, Part B (21st Century Community Learning Centers)
Title V, Part B, subpart 2 (Rural and Low-Income School Program)
Title VI, Part A, subpart 1 (Indian Education Formula Grants)
ESEA section 2222 (Comprehensive Literacy State Development program)
McKinney-Vento Act Programs – Title VII, subtitle B (Education for Homeless Children and Youths)

Background information on the DOI/ED Agreement, including the draft Agreement itself, is available at www.bie.edu/tribalconsultations. The DOI/BIE strongly recommends reviewing the DOI/BIE’s webpage prior to attending a Tribal consultation session or submitting written comments for providing meaningful feedback.
If you would like to provide written input, please either email your comments to consultationcomments@bie.edu or mail them to Ms. Juanita Mendoza, 1849 C Street, NW, MS 3609, Washington, DC, 20240.

Recognizing the Commission’s government-to-government relationship and its express desire to work with Tribal Nations, WTB and ONAP will hold a video conference to discuss the issues raised and proposals made in a March 2025 petition filed by CTIA—The Wireless Association (CTIA Petition).
Attendance will be limited to elected and appointed leaders or duly appointed representatives of federally-recognized Tribal Nations and NHOs, including Tribal Historic Preservation Officers (THPOs). Time permitting, we will invite statements from other Tribal representatives and participants during the Listening Session.
Tribal Nations and NHOs, like other interested parties, should file comments, reply comments, and ex parte presentations in the public record in order to put facts and arguments before the Commission in a manner such that they may be relied upon in the decision-making process. The Commission, however, will exempt ex parte presentations involving elected and appointed leaders, and duly appointed representatives, of federally-recognized Tribal Nations and NHOs from the disclosure requirements in permit-but-disclose proceedings (47 CFR § 1.1206) and the prohibitions on presentations during the Sunshine Agenda period (47 CFR § 1.1203). Specifically, presentations from elected and appointed leaders or duly appointed representatives of federally-recognized Tribal Nations or NHOs, including THPOs, to Commission decision makers shall be exempt from disclosure.

Dear Tribal Leader:
The Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Children’s Bureau (CB) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) recognize the central role that Tribal Nations play in the care and protection of children and families. To advance our collaborative efforts to that end, we extend an invitation to participate in formal tribal consultation on the “Supporting America’s Children and Families Act,” (Public Law 118-258), which reauthorized Title IV-B of the Social Security Act (Act).

In summary, the focus areas are the Indian Child Welfare Act, title IV-B funding for child welfare agencies, the Court Improvement Program and remote hearings, and the Prevention Services Clearinghouse.
We are soliciting your input as we value your perspectives and experiences, which are crucial as we work together to implement the Act.
