SUMMARY:From Spectrum to Service: Building with Unlicensed Fixed Wireless
DESCRIPTION:The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act created a historic opportunity to ensure that every American has access to affordable\, reliable internet service. The best approach to delivering this connectivity varies widely based on geography\, terrain\, population density\, and cost. As the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) implements the Broadband Equity\, Access\, and Deployment (BEAD) Program – as one of the largest federal investments in broadband infrastructure – it is critical to understand the full range of technologies available and how to deploy them in the most cost-effective way. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will examine unlicensed fixed wireless technology and its role within the broader broadband “toolkit.” It will define what unlicensed fixed wireless is\, highlight real-world deployment examples\, and explore cost considerations. The discussion will also cover situations where unlicensed fixed wireless can accelerate deployment by reducing or avoiding permitting challenges\, as well as key network architecture considerations needed to deliver reliable\, uninterrupted connectivity. \n\n\n\nZoom Link: https://ntia-gov.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_lBba2nqDSrGqokYI7SkKTQ \n\n\n\nLink for external registration page \n\n\n\nhttps://ntia-gov.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_lBba2nqDSrGqokYI7SkKTQ

SUMMARY:HHS Annual Tribal Budget Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader: \n\n\n\nI write to invite you to the 28th U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Annual Tribal Budget Consultation (ATBC)\,which will take place in-person on April 21-22\, 2026\,at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building at 200 Independence Avenue\, SW\, Washington\, DC. Tribes are once again invited to register for one-on-one consultations in conjunction with the ATBC.  \n\n\n\nThe ATBC will provide a forum for tribes to collectively share their views and priorities with HHS officials on national health and human services funding priorities and make recommendations for the Department’s FY 2028 budget request. We hope the consultation will provide a venue for a two-way conversation between tribal leaders and HHS officials on program issues and concerns that will lead to recommendations for action. The components of this year’s consultation are as follows: \n\n\n\nVirtual ATBC Planning Sessions with Tribal LeadersMarch 18 and April 1\, 2026  \n\n\n\nAs in previous years\, HHS will continue to work with you to improve the consultation process.  The Department understands the importance of hearing from tribes on national and regional issues\, as well as tribal-specific concerns. \n\n\n\nHHS will host two planning sessions to prepare for the consultation. The first session will provide an overview of HHS and its Operating Divisions. This informative session will be particularly beneficial for tribal leaders and staff that are new to HHS or who would like a refresher on the Department and its budget process. The second session will focus on receiving recommendations from tribal leaders for the development of the agenda for the 28th HHS Annual Tribal Budget Consultation. \n\n\n\nThese planning sessions will take place on: \n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, March 18\, from 3:00 – 4:00pm ET\n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 1\, from 3:00 – 4:00pm ET\n\n\n\n\nPlease register to attend one or both of the consultation planning calls at the following link: https://hhsgov.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/W6sPH1xUSomFzS2sG0hO4g (-> click.connect.hhs.gov). More information about the agendas for these sessions is forthcoming. \n\n\n\n28th HHS Annual Tribal Budget Consultation in Washington\, DCApril 21-22\, 2026  \n\n\n\nThe Annual Tribal Budget Consultation provides a forum for HHS leadership and financial officers to consult with tribal leaders on funding and policy priorities for the Department budget. This year’s consultation will focus on identifying tribal funding and policy priorities for the FY 2028 budget. HHS will identify specific issues for consultation in collaboration with tribes during the planning calls scheduled for March and April. These issues will be sent to tribal leaders prior to the ATBC so that you can prepare your thoughts\, ideas\, and recommendations. If you plan to attend the ATBC in-person one or both days at the Hubert H. Humphrey Building\, please register here. \n\n\n\nThe Annual Tribal Budget Consultation also includes the opportunity for interested tribes to meet one-on-one with HHS Divisions to discuss tribal-specific priorities. These 30-minute sessions will be held in private meeting spaces within the Hubert H. Humphrey Building. Various HHS agencies will be available to listen and contribute to the conversation. Please note that all one-on-one meetings are in-person. To request a one-on-one meeting\, please indicate the HHS agency or agencies you would like to meet with using this embedded registration link . Requests for one-on-one meetings must be received by 5:00pm ET on Wednesday\, April 15. \n\n\n\nATBC Written Comment PeriodOpen until April 24\, 2026 \n\n\n\nTo further the meaningful impact of tribal feedback on the development of FY 2028 HHS budget\, we ask that tribes please submit written comments for the consultation record by April 24\, 2026\, at 5:00pm ET to consultation@hhs.gov. Please include the subject line “HHS Annual Tribal Budget Consultation” with your transmittal. \n\n\n\nThank you for your continued support of the HHS Annual Tribal Budget Consultation process. We look forward to your participation and ongoing partnership. In the interim\, please contact the IEA Tribal Affairs team at consultation@hhs.gov with any questions.

SUMMARY:Indian Country Criminal Jurisdiction
DESCRIPTION:Indian country criminal jurisdiction can be complex. Depending on location of the offense and the Indian status of the defendant or victim\, the crime may be investigated by federal\, state\, or Tribal law enforcement or a combination of agencies. Similarly\, a case may be eligible for prosecution in multiple jurisdictions. This webinar will provide a basic overview of criminal jurisdiction when a crime occurs in Indian country. The emphasis will be on federal jurisdiction. The presentation will cover\, in part\, the following jurisdictional statutes: the Major Crimes Act\, the General Crimes Act\, and the Indian Civil Rights Act. \n\n\n\nThis training is available to all interested parties. There is no charge to attend this training\, and CLE will not be available. \n\n\n\nThis training is a joint effort hosted by federal law enforcement agencies responding to violent crime in Indian Country. Sponsoring agencies include the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Indian Country Training Initiative\, the United States Indian Police Academy\, the Federal Bureau of Investigation\, the Drug Enforcement Administration\, the Bureau of Alcohol\, Tobacco\, Firearms and Explosives\, and the Department of the Interior’s Office of Law Enforcement and Security’s Victim Assistance Program. \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Lamesha Bowman at Lamesha.Bowman@usdoj.gov\, Deborah Thomas at Deborah.Thomas@usdoj.gov or Leslie A.
