SUMMARY:HHS/IHS Tribal Consultation on CSC
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter \nSeptember 25 at 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister\nLocation: Virtual \nSeptember 26 at 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Central\nRegister\nLocation: Dallas\, Texas \nOctober 1 at 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Eastern\nRegister\nLocation: Washington\, DC \nOctober 3 at 9:30 am – 12:30 pm Pacific\nRegister\nLocation: Seattle\, Washington \nOctober 9 at 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister\nLocation: Virtual \nPlease email your written comments and recommendations for this Tribal Consultation to\nconsultation@ihs.gov. Use the SUBJECT LINE: CSC Methodology for Program Income.\nThe deadline for transmitting written comments for this Tribal Consultation is\nFriday\, October 11\, 2024. \nOver the past 60 days\, the Contract Support Cost Advisory Group (CSCAG)\, made up of Federal\nand Tribal members met three times\, to discuss needed changes to the existing funding\nmethodology to address the calculation of CSC on expenditures of program income. The\nCSCAG’s charge includes providing advice and recommendations on the Indian Health Service\n(IHS) CSC policy\, as well as identifying priorities and issues for improvement. \nThe principles that have been agreed upon by CSCAG members are to take an approach with the\nbroadest applicability\, which aligns as much as feasible with the current CSC policy. During this\ntimeframe\, CSCAG members identified a few areas of agreement\, as well as a few areas for\nadditional discussion. Overall\, there remains a considerable amount of work to be accomplished\nby the CSCAG and IHS staff to implement a modified methodology. \nThe IHS is requesting input from all Tribal Leaders\, as the implementation of a modified\nmethodology to negotiate and pay CSC on expenditures of program income can have broad\nbudgetary implications for Tribes that receive direct services\, as well as compacting and\ncontracting Tribal Nations. \nDuring this Tribal Consultation\, they plan to convene three in-person Consultation sessions and\ntwo virtual Consultation sessions to allow multiple opportunities to provide feedback on the\nAgency’s proposals to calculate CSC related to expenditures of program income. Details about\nthe Consultation sessions are provided in the Dear Tribal Leader Letter. \nThroughout the CSCAG’s discussions\, there were a few recurring topics of particular interest to\nthis Tribal Consultation. The IHS invites your recommendations and feedback broadly on the\nexpansion of the CSC policy\, as well as the necessary changes required to implement CSC\ncalculations on expenditures of program income. \nDue to the variability of how T/TOs collect program income expenditure data\, the IHS is seeking\nyour recommendations on how to estimate initial amounts\, as well as reconcile CSC annually.

SUMMARY:FEMA Tribal Consultation to Discuss the NFIP's Community Rating System Redesign
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader Letter\nFraming Paper \nThursday\, October 10 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nWednesday\, October 16 at 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nFEMA will host virtual Tribal consultations with Tribal Nations to discuss suggested approaches for a redesigned CRS. \nThe purpose of the redesign is to enhance the CRS’s effectiveness\, promote resilience\, and mitigate the financial impacts of flooding on communities. CRS Redesign is a multi-year effort intended to take a comprehensive look at the CRS program\, exploring both incremental improvements and bold shifts in approach. \nFEMA is exploring the future of the CRS with a focus on ways the agency can improve the CRS to: \n\nIncentivize communities to take measurable actions and make sustained progress that reduces current and future flood risk;\nEmbed equity as a foundation of the Community Rating System program;\nIncentivize communities to promote property owners to purchase flood insurance to reduce their financial exposure to flood risk; and\nDeliver a community participant-centered and modernized program.\n\nThe CRS is a voluntary incentive program that recognizes and encourages floodplain management practices that exceed the minimum requirements in the NFIP. The agency is evaluating the CRS’s potential to provide ongoing support for state\, local\, tribal\, and territorial governments’ goals and needs around floodplain management.

SUMMARY:Treasury Department Webinar: IRA Low-Income Bonus Credit Program and Elective Pay for Tribal Nations
DESCRIPTION:October 21 at 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern\nRegister \nUnder the Inflation Reduction Act\, Tribal Nations may now directly access certain clean energy tax credits through a process called elective pay.

This program provides a 10 or 20 percentage point increase to the investment tax credit for qualified solar and wind energy facilities for Program Year 2024.  \nThis includes projects on Indian lands (Category 2) and by Tribal Nations\, Tribal enterprises\, and Alaska Native entities. Applications for projects located on Indian Lands (Category 2) are being accepted on a rolling basis until November 12\, 2024\, at 11:59 PM ET. \nJoin us for this webinar on the application process for 48(e) for Program Year 2024 and an update on Treasury’s proposed regulations to increase Tribal access to clean energy tax credits.
