See Culvert AOP Program Website (FHWA) for more information.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the Culvert AOP Program and provides $196 million per year, over five years (from FY2022 to FY2026) for grants to replace, remove, and repair culverts or weirs that would meaningfully improve or restore fish passage for anadromous fish. In the first year of the program, DOT awarded $195,877,358 to 59 applications from Tribal, State, and local governments to advance improvements at 169 locations nationwide. The FY 2023 – FY 2026 Notice of Funding covers funds available for FY 2023 through 2026, along with any unused funds from FY 2022.
The “How to Apply for National Culvert Removal, Replacement, and Restoration Grants FY 2023 – FY 2026: General Overview” webinar is intended to provide an overview of updates to the Culvert AOP Program for FY 2023 – FY 2026, provide applicants with knowledge for applying to program, and clarify any questions associated with the application process. This webinar is free and open to the public. It is intended for a broad range of attendees, including representatives of organizations eligible to receive funds under the Culvert AOP program, which are States, units of local governments, and Tribal Nations.

a DOJ Government-to-Government Tribal Consultation on Telemedicine Regulations

Framing Paper

If you are interested in attending one or both virtual consultations, please respond to OTJ@usdoj.gov by June 11, 2024, and include the name(s) and email addresses of your representatives. If you do not have reliable access to email you are welcome to join by phone; please call (202) 514-8835 if you will need to join by phone and be sure to leave a contact name and phone number in your message. Written comments will be welcome.

In response to the two March 2023 NPRMs, DEA received at least six comments from Alaskan Native and American Indian (AN/AI) organizations expressing concerns about the proposed telemedicine regulations. Among their concerns was DEA’s assertion that there would be no direct impact on Tribal communities, which they argued was inaccurate. They contended that despite the telemedicine exception for certain Indian Health Services and Tribal practitioners there would still be a substantial direct effect on Tribal communities given the limited practical and legal scope of the exception under 21 USC 802(54)(C).
Based on the comments received regarding the two NPRMs and presentations at the September 2023 Telemedicine Listening Sessions, DEA requests interested Tribal communities and persons to share concerns and feedback regarding the practice of Telemedicine and its impact on Tribal communities.
DEA, in coordination with the US Department of Justice Office of Tribal Justice (OTJ), will be hosting two virtual consultations.
