SUMMARY:Webinar: SLFRF Interim Final Rule (Obligation IFR)
DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader\, \nToday\, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) published a new interim final rule for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program. This interim final rule (Obligation IFR) provides additional flexibility and clarity for recipients regarding the definition of “obligation” and associated guidance. The Obligation IFR clarifies the application of the statutory obligation deadline of December 31\, 2024\, to subrecipients and contractors\, and provides guidance on the circumstances under which contracts and subawards entered into prior to the obligation deadline may be amended or replaced. It does not alter the existing obligation and expenditure deadlines or eligible use categories\, including how recipients may use SLFRF funds under the revenue loss eligible use category. Recipients must continue to obligate funds by December 31\, 2024\, and expend funds by December 31\, 2026 (other than in the case of SLFRF funds used for Surface Transportation projects or Title I projects\, which must be expended by September 30\, 2026). \nTo support SLFRF recipients in their understanding of the Obligation IFR\, on November 16th\, Treasury will host a webinar. During the two sessions listed below\, Treasury will provide an overview of the new Obligation IFR\, including explaining the amended definition of “obligation” and highlighting key examples of how related guidance and clarifications apply to implementation of SLFRF funds. Recipients will have the opportunity to submit questions in advance for the Q&A portion of the webinar. Recipients can follow along with the Obligation IFR Quick Reference Guide. Treasury is also hosting a Tribal consultation on the Obligation IFR on November 29\, 2023. The Dear Tribal Leader letter and information on how to register may be found below. \nSign Up for the Upcoming Webinar \n\nMorning Session: November 16th at 10:00 AM ET\nAfternoon Session: November 16th at 3:00 PM ET\n\nTribal Consultation\n\nWednesday\, November 29\, 2023\, 2-5pm ET – Treasury is hosting a Tribal Consultation on the Obligation IFR.  You may find the Dear Tribal Leader Letter here. \nYou may register for the consultation here. \nTreasury is accepting written comments received by December 22\, 2023\, 11:59 p.m. Alaska Time.

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:Bridging the Divide: Ensuring equitable access for Tribal Nations to Land and Water Conservation Fund dollars and other conservation funding

DESCRIPTION:Dear Tribal Leader\, \nToday\, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) published a new interim final rule for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program. This interim final rule (Obligation IFR) provides additional flexibility and clarity for recipients regarding the definition of “obligation” and associated guidance. The Obligation IFR clarifies the application of the statutory obligation deadline of December 31\, 2024\, to subrecipients and contractors\, and provides guidance on the circumstances under which contracts and subawards entered into prior to the obligation deadline may be amended or replaced. It does not alter the existing obligation and expenditure deadlines or eligible use categories\, including how recipients may use SLFRF funds under the revenue loss eligible use category. Recipients must continue to obligate funds by December 31\, 2024\, and expend funds by December 31\, 2026 (other than in the case of SLFRF funds used for Surface Transportation projects or Title I projects\, which must be expended by September 30\, 2026). \nTo support SLFRF recipients in their understanding of the Obligation IFR\, on November 16th\, Treasury will host a webinar. During the two sessions listed below\, Treasury will provide an overview of the new Obligation IFR\, including explaining the amended definition of “obligation” and highlighting key examples of how related guidance and clarifications apply to implementation of SLFRF funds.
