The adverse health effects range\, from lowered birth weight and slowed physical and mental development in infants\, to lowered IQ levels\, impaired hearing\, reduced attention span\, and poor classroom performance in young children. Clean and safe water is essential and paramount to building a sustainable economy\, successful educational and public health systems\, and most importantly\, a healthy and productive environment for children. \nThe USET Office of Environmental Resource Management (OERM) is introducing our Lead Testing program\, which is funded by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The OERM Lead Testing program has adopted the EPA 3 Ts program for Reducing Lead in Drinking Water in Schools and Child Care Facilities. This program was developed to help schools and child-care facilities to implement a voluntary program for reducing lead in drinking water. \nOur Lead Testing program promotes voluntary training\, testing of drinking water for lead\, and taking corrective action if problems are identified. For USET Member Tribal Nation participants\, OERM is offering assistance to conduct testing at Tribal schools and child-care facilities. USET will assist with sampling Tribal childcare facilities\, and will collect data such as sampling results and facility location on behalf of participating Member Tribal Nations. Member Tribal Nations may store data on a secure USET server that is only accessible by the respective Member Tribal Nation. \nWe survey Tribal childcare facilities to prioritize the needs of our respective Member Tribal Nation community. \nFor USET Member Tribal Nations who are interested in participating in our Lead Testing program\, please complete the Lead Testing program application. \nFor more information\, please contact USET’s Lead Program team: \nJakira Saunders\, Program Manager\nBen Peyton\, Senior Technical Assistant Specialist

SUMMARY:NTIA DEA Tribal Consultations
DESCRIPTION:October 17 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nOctober 19 at 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nThe Digital Equity Act (DEA)\, which was enacted as part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act\, appropriated $2.75 billion to establish three grant programs to promote digital equity and inclusion. These three programs are: (1) the State Digital Equity Planning Grant Program (SDEPG); (2) the State Digital Equity Capacity Grant Program; and (3) the Digital Equity Competitive Grant Program. On behalf of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)\, Department of Commerce\, which administers these programs\, we are initiating additional Tribal Consultations for the DEA Programs. These consultations will provide NTIA with valuable feedback to inform future Notices of Funding Opportunity (NOFOs) for Tribal participation in the DEA Programs. \nThe SDEPG is a $60 million formula grant program for States\, Territories\, and Eligible Tribal Entities to develop digital equity plans. The State Digital Equity Capacity Program is a $1.44 billion grant program for States\, Territories and Eligible Tribal Entities to fund implementation of their digital equity plans. The Digital Equity Competitive Program is a $1.25 billion competitive grant program for eligible entities to implement digital equity projects. The DEA requires that NTIA set aside 5% (five percent) of these grant funds for Eligible Tribal Entities. \nNote: Following the Dear Tribal Leader Letter sent on July 24\, 2023\, NTIA intends to utilize these consultations to offer additional information around the adjusted timeline and approach for the SDEPG and State Digital Equity Capacity Program\, as they pertain to Eligible Tribal Entities. \nTo seek your input regarding its Digital Equity Act Programs\, NTIA invites you and/or a Tribal representative to participate in the virtual National Tribal Consultation to provide your advice and insights as NTIA staff work through the critical issues related to these programs.

SUMMARY:FEMA Tribal Listening Session on the Draft National Resilience Gidance
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter\nFraming Paper \nOctober 24 at 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern\nRegister \nOverview:\nIndigenous peoples maintain place-based knowledge that represents thousands of years of managing relationships with natural resource. This diversity embodies multiple ways of understanding resilient interactions between humans and the ecosystem. Traditional cultural and ecological knowledge is sound science and has been passed down for generations through oral traditions. FEMA acknowledges that Tribal Nations and Indigenous peoples have built and maintained resilience through traditional ecological knowledge well before non-Indigenous people came to North America or the United States became a country. \nFEMA is leading an effort to create national resilience guidance and resources for the whole community to help everyone understand and fulfill their critical roles related to increasing national resilience. The guidance and resources will promote a common understanding of resilience\, incorporate the impacts of and relationship between chronic stressors and shocks\, address the critical roles of all stakeholders\, and inspire people-centered planning approaches to increasing community and national resilience. The guidance will also recognize that resilience is more than just being prepared for disasters and encompasses a wide swath of social\, economic and environmental issues. \nTo better serve Tribal Nations and to provide the most inclusive guidance to all\, FEMA will host a Tribal listening session to provide an overview of the draft resilience guidance and to gather feedback from Tribal leaders about resilience. FEMA’s ultimate goal for this listening session is to ensure Tribal Nations perspectives and experiences are reflected in this guidance. \nParticipation:\nThe virtual tribal listening session will be hosted on the Zoom for Government platform. \n\nDate: Tuesday\, October 24\, 2023\nTime: 03:00 pm Eastern Time\nRegister to attend:  https://fema.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsd-Cpqz8sEhApUpfL4NKpF6OPs56hFiQ\nZoom Meeting ID: 161 091 5468\nPasscode: 641489\nJoin by phone: US: +1 669 254 5252 or +1 646 828 7666 or +1 646 964 1167 or +1 669 216 1590 or +1 415 449 4000 or +1 551 285 1373\n\nWritten Comments:\nTo submit questions in advance of the listening session\, please email National-resilience@fema.dhs.gov.

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.
