SUMMARY:HRSA 340B Rebate Model Pilot Tribal Consultation
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader:\nIn response to requests from tribal leaders and tribal-serving organizations\, and pursuant to Executive Order 13175\, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments\, I am writing to initiate a Tribal Consultation regarding the Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) 340B Drug Pricing Program – Rebate Model Pilot.

The U.S. Census Bureau strives to promote transparency throughout the rulemaking process and ensure all affected parties are kept well informed about developments and impacts related to the decennial census short-form questionnaire by actively sharing information and updates. \nIn this instance\, the Census Bureau is providing a two-week advance notice of consultation—as opposed to the standard 30-day notice that it aims to provide—in order to ensure that it is able to meet all of the operational deadlines in advance of the 2030 Census as well as its obligations in the ongoing lawsuits related to the 2020 Census. \nThis virtual tribal consultation is an opportunity for tribes to provide feedback on the proposed addition of two new parts to the Code of Federal Regulations governing the decennial census of population and housing\, published on Thursday\, September 10\, 2026.  We value your tribe’s participation. To ensure your input is considered during the decision-making process\, comments on the FRN may be submitted electronically or by mail by Monday\, November 2\, 2026. \nElectronic Submission: Submit all electronic public comments via the Federal e-Rulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov and enter USBC-2026-0628 in the Search box. Click on the “Comment” icon\, complete the required fields\, and enter or attach your comments. \nMail: Submit written comments to 4600 Silver Hill Road\, Designation: ADDEMO/FRN\, Washington\, DC 20746.
