Notice of Regional Meetings on Draft HUD Tribal Consultation Policy

Resumen

Executive Order 13084 directs Federal agencies to ``have an effective process to permit elected officials and other representatives of Indian tribal governments to provide meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies on matters that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.'' In accordance with the Executive Order, HUD is in the process of developing a tribal consultation policy. This notice announces three regional meetings sponsored by HUD for the purposes of receiving tribal input on the appropriate scope and content of HUD's consultation policy. All comments received at the meetings will be considered in the development of HUD's final tribal consultation policy. Before finalizing a consultation policy, HUD will publish the draft policy in the Federal Register for additional public comment.
