Dear Tribal Leaders,
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is pleased to announce that it will hold two Tribal consultations pursuant to the January 26, 2021 Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation and Strengthening Nation-to-Nation Relationships. This Presidential Memorandum directs Federal agencies to consult with Tribal Nations in developing detailed plans of action to implement the policies and directives of the November 6, 2000 Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments.
The two consultations will be held via teleconference on:
- Friday, April 2, 2021 (2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET). Call-in details to follow.
- Monday, April 5, 2021 (2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. ET). Call-in details to follow.
Tribal leaders and their designees are invited to provide comments to OMB on how it can improve engagement with Tribal Nations on OMB’s five main functions—budget development and execution; management; regulatory and information coordination, review, and policy; legislative coordination and review; and clearance of Presidential executive orders and memoranda to agency heads—including how such engagement should differ by function. Please see the background section below for additional information on these five main functions.
Your comments will inform OMB’s development of a Tribal consultation plan of action pursuant to the January 26 Presidential Memorandum. These Tribal consultations are not for press purposes.
OMB welcomes your written comments as well. Please send them to tribalconsultation@omb.eop.gov by no later than April 9, 2021.
We hope you will be able to join us for these important conversations.
Robert Fairweather
