SUMMARY:IHS Consultation on Proposed $250 Million Opioid Response Supplemental Funding Request
DESCRIPTION:The Indian Health Service (IHS) has announced it is initiating consultation on President Biden’s domestic supplemental funding request\, which would provide $250 million to the IHS to address the ongoing opioid and fentanyl crises. The funding request has not been taken up by Congress yet\, but the IHS is holding consultation in order to efficiently allocate the funds if they are enacted. USET SPF stated our support for these supplemental funds in our testimony for the record for the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs’ (SCIA) hearing on fentanyl in Tribal communities. \nIHS will hold the consultation on February 1\, 2024 from 4:30 – 6:30 pm EST. Interested participants may join using this link. The IHS will accept written comments on this topic until March 4\, 2024. Additional information can be found in the Dear Tribal Leader Letter.

SUMMARY:DOI Listening Session on Climate Adaptation Plan
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter \nFebruary 26 at 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm Eastern |Register \nFebruary 27 at 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern | Register \nFebruary 28 at 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm Eastern | Register \nFebruary 29 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern | Register \nThe Department of the Interior (Interior\, the Department) invites you to participate in listening sessions regarding the Department’s planned update to its Climate Adaptation Plan. This update would succeed the existing Climate Action Plan\, issued on October 7\, 2021\, and fulfill direction laid out in section 211 of Executive Order 14008\, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad;” section 5(d) of E.O. 14030\, “Climate-Related Financial Risk;” and section 503 of E.O.14057\, “Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries And Jobs Through Federal Sustainability.”\nThe update\, renamed to “Climate Adaptation Plan” (CAP)\, is expected to evaluate exposure to climate hazards and drivers of change across the full suite of DOI buildings and employees\, and to the lands\, waters\, and cultural and natural resources it is responsible for stewarding. The CAP will also outline actions to address the threats these exposures present—through investments and changes to policy\, budgeting\, grant funding\, and training.\nInterior is working with Tribal Nations and Alaska Natives\, as well as the Native Hawaiian Community and Indigenous people of the U.S. Territories\, on a range of climate adaptation and resilience efforts. The Department also recognizes that Tribal Nations and Alaska Natives have shared input during recent consultations that can inform the development of the CAP. Interior will reference this input and incorporate it into the development of this plan.\nThe Department is seeking your input on several topics related to the potential content of the CAP\, including: \n\nWhat data and knowledge sources should we consider as we assess climate risk?\nRecognizing that all lands\, waters\, and those who inhabit them are important\, are there particular Interior-managed resources that hold special significance for Tribal Nations and/or Alaska Natives and should be considered for prioritization in climate adaptation planning?\nHow can the Department address exposure to climate hazards for these resources that hold special cultural or natural significance?\nHow can the Department incorporate climate resilience and accessibility for Tribal communities into its grants and funding opportunities?\nWhat barriers prevent the implementation of climate adaptation and resilience efforts on Tribal lands and in Tribal communities?\n\nThe Office of Policy Analysis will conduct four Tribal listening sessions listed below and will accept oral and written comments. Please register in advance for any listening session you plan to attend. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. Please note that these Tribal listening sessions will be closed to the press and the public to protect confidential information that may be discussed during the sessions. \nThe Department welcomes your written comments\, which should be submitted by email to\nryan_richards@ios.doi.gov by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 30\, 2024. If you have any\nquestions\, please contact Ryan Richards at ryan_richards@ios.doi.gov.
