SUMMARY:American Indian Elders Conference
DESCRIPTION:The National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) is excited to announce its 24th conference on aging in Indian Country will take place on September 25-29\, 2023\, at the Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee\, North Carolina. We look forward to having an exciting conference and hope you’ll join us! \nThis year’s theme is “A Trail of Determination: Our Culture\, Our History and Our Future.” American Indian and Alaska Native elders have always held esteemed positions in their communities. They are the remnants of the cultures of their respective tribes. The cultures they embody are a testament to the history and continued existence of Native peoples. \n\n\n\n\nIn the twilight of their years\, they represent the flight of the arrow of all that is Native American\, and it’s our job to carry their legacy into the future. The culture\, the history and the continued existence of Native people in this country is dependent on the willingness of future generations to embrace all that is Native.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis conference is the elders’ opportunity to share their wisdom\, experience and knowledge with the world. It is your opportunity to carry the legacies of your elders as well as create your own. \nOur biennial conference is the place where elders can educate and recommend solutions to policymakers to help improve aging services across Indian Country. NICOA’s American Indian Elders Conference offers the opportunity to elevate issues in American Indian politics and legislation\, as well as focus on issues such as health\, safety\, financial management\, elder abuse\, caregiving\, employment\, retirement and the Older Americans Act. \nThis will be an opportunity for tribal leaders\, policymakers and tribal elders to express their needs and make policy recommendations for the vital events occurring in years to come. The events that follow the 2023 American Indian Elders Conference will shape the policies and laws that will affect Native elders for the next decade. Therefore\, tribal leaders\, youths\, service providers and policymakers are encouraged and welcomed to learn\, share and shape those policies.

SUMMARY:USDA Forest Service Virtual Office Hours for Prospective Applicants
DESCRIPTION:September 29 and October 13 at 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Central/3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern \nJoin the USDA Forest Service for two virtual office hours opportunities on September 29 and October 13\, 2023 for prospective applicants to ask questions about the Inflation Reduction Act Forest Landowner Support Funding Opportunity. \nJOIN OFFICE HOURS: Join Microsoft Teams Meeting \nForest Service staff will be available to answer questions regarding allowable costs\, eligibility criteria\, and other information from the Notice of Funding Opportunity. \nNo RSVP is required for participation. \nEmerging climate markets are creating economic incentives to keep forests healthy and productive through reforestation\, thinning overgrown forests\, and more. However\, high acreage requirements and prohibitive start-up costs have caused many small-acreage and underserved private forest owners to be left behind. These investments will expand access to markets that were previously out-of-reach\, allowing underserved and small-acreage forest landowners to be a larger part of the climate solution while also supporting rural economies and healthy forests. \nSee the Forest Service news releases and the Forest Landowner Assistance webpage for details.

SUMMARY:DOI Tribal Consultation: CSC calculation and distribution process
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter \nOctober 1 at 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Mountain: Listening Session\n2023 NAFOA Fall Finance & Tribal Economies Conference\nSheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass\n5594 W Wild Horse Pass Blvd.\nPhoenix\, AZ 85226 \nOctober 5 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern: Virtual Consultation with Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs Bryan Newland\nRegister \nNovember 1 at 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern: Tribal Consultation\nUS Department of Labor\, Indian and Native American Programs\nWorkforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) 166/477\nWestern Regional Training\nPechanga Resort Casino\n45000 Pechanga Pkwy.\nTemecula\, CA 92592 \nNovember 29 at 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm Alaska: Tribal Consultation\nBIA Providers Conference Dena’ina Center\n600 W 7th Ave.\nAnchorage\, AK 99501 \nThe Policy is available at this link. \nIndian Affairs would like to determine how to compensate Self Governance Tribes for CSC\, when they\nare NOT required to submit budgets\, yet certain data is necessary to calculate the amount of CSC due\nto the Tribe annually. \n\nIs the Federal proposal of two data calls\, one on recurring base funding and a second at the end\nof the year a viable proposal?\nThe Workgroup Federal representatives recommend that two data calls be released at least 30\ndays prior to due dates. The recommended due dates for base funding CSC data are September\n1 for fiscal year funding agreements and November 1 for calendar year funding agreements.\nThe recommended due date for full-year data is July 1 for fiscal year funding agreements and\nOctober 1 for calendar year funding agreements. Should this or another calculation and\npayment schedule be considered?\nThere are a small number of Self Governance Tribes that have not submitted year-end CSC\ndata\, therefore the annual 100 percent requirement is unknown. What is the Tribal\nrecommendation regarding this matter?\nIn lieu of negotiating Direct CSC line by line\, the CSC Policy formula for ALL tribes is below.\nDCSC = (current Tribal budgeted salary cost {not including fringe} of section 106(a)(1)\nprograms) x 18%.\nThe DCSC need cannot be calculated in accordance with the CSC Policy\, and in the same\nequitable manner as Tribes entering into contracts under Title I\, without receipt of a Tribe’s\n“budgeted salary cost.” The CSC Policy would need to be changed to allow the use of “best\navailable” data or data that is 4 years old.\na) Is there support for changing the CSC Policy to utilize “best available” data or salaries up to\nfour years old for DCSC?\nHow would the Department reconcile ensuring equitable treatment with Title I contracts\nsubmitting current budgets (with salary and fringe) that equal the current year contract\namounts?\n Section 1.10 of the CSC Policy outlines the formula for calculating Indirect CSC:\nIndirect CSC = Current approved IDC rate(s) x (the Secretarial Amount awarded to the\nTribe\, minus exclusions and pass-through).\nThe CSC Policy explicitly clarifies that a “current” IDC rate can be up to four years old. If a\nTribe has no approved IDC rate or has an approved IDC rate that is over four years old\, the\nTribe may negotiate a lump sum amount for indirect-type costs or may utilize the Simplified\nMethod\, if applicable. Furthermore\, Section 1.10 of the Policy states\, “[i]f a Tribe does not\ninitiate any of these options\, IA will not pay the Tribe any indirect CSC.”\nWhile the CSC Policy allows for an IDC rate that is up to four years old\, it does not allow for\nuse of previous years’ salary\, fringe\, exclusion or passthrough data to calculate the current year\n100 percent CSC need. The CSC Policy would need to be changed to allow the use of “best\navailable” data.\na) Does the Tribe support changing the CSC Policy to utilize “best available” data?\nb) If so\, what sources should be considered “best available” data for calculations of CSC for\nthe data elements of 1) Tribal Budgeted Salary 2) Tribal Budgeted Fringe (if necessary);\nand 3) Exclusions and pass-throughs?\nc) If a Tribe does not submit current year data\, at what point would IA utilize “best available”\ndata for calculation and payment?\nSection 1.12 of the CSC Policy outlines cutoff timeframes for IDC rates as below.\nIn order to facilitate equitable treatment and establish standard cutoff timeframes:\n• The IDC rate that will be applied is the applicable rate at the end of the Tribe’s fiscal\nyear. No adjustments to that IDC rate will be made after the end of the Tribe’s fiscal\nyear\, without regard to the later issuance of a different DC rate for that period.\n\nThey welcome your written comments\, which should be submitted by email to consultations@bia.gov by\n11:59 pm ET on December 29\, 2023. \nIf you have any questions regarding this effort\, please contact Jacob Aguilar\, Financial Specialist\,\nOSG\, at (360) 699-1015 or via email: jacob.aguilar@bia.gov.

Tribes will never meet meaningful funding levels.\nBecause of the funding formula\, Tribes are not able to count Elders under age 60\, even though they can serve them under Title VI\, so unfunded moving mandate and again\, lack of equity and access.\nTitle VII gives funding and primary authority for Elder adult protection services (APS) to states. Even Guam and Puerto Rico get funding for APS\, but nothing to Tribes.\nTitle III – state allocation that counts Tribes. States are supposed to either provide the services to Tribal Elders ages 60 + and/or *contract/pay the Tribe when it provides the service*. The two programs are supposed to coordinate. There is no best practices guidance and no consequences to states who do not comply. Tribes are asking for a direct-to-them share of Title III rather than the trickle down through the states. This *can* be done and a few states do this: Wisconsin is a good example – the state carves out a share to each of the 11 Tribal aging programs.\n\nTribal Leaders are encouraged to provide oral testimony during the Consultation\, or to provide written authorization for another person speaking on behalf of leadership.  Others will be heard as time allows. Everyone is encouraged to provide written comment.  Written testimony can be submitted to: olderindians@acl.hhs.gov until November 13\, 2023 at 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time.
