SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held in accordance
with Presidential Executive Order No. 13175, November 6, 2000, and the
Presidential Memorandum of November 5, 2009, and September 23, 2004,
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments.
Purpose: The purpose of the consultation meeting is to advance CDC/
ATSDR support for and collaboration
[[Page 35299]]
with AI/AN tribal nations and to improve the health of AI/AN tribal
nations by pursuing goals that include assisting in eliminating the
health disparities faced by AI/AN tribal nations; ensuring that access
to critical health and human services and public health services is
maximized to advance or enhance the social, physical, and economic
status of AI/AN people; and promoting health equity for all Indian
people and communities. To advance these goals, CDC/ATSDR conducts
government-to-government consultations with elected tribal officials or
their authorized representatives. Consultation is an enhanced form of
communication that emphasizes trust, respect, and shared
responsibility. It is an open and free exchange of information and
opinion among parties that leads to mutual understanding.
Matters To Be Considered: CDC/ATSDR is hosting this meeting to hold
a consultation with federally recognized tribal nations to receive
input and guidance on improving the current CDC/ATSDR Tribal
Consultation Policy. CDC/ATSDR is seeking feedback on how the agency
can improve its policies and practices to better engage with Indian
Country through meaningful consultation. This feedback will be used to
edit the current CDC's Consultation Policy. The Tribal consultation
session will provide opportunities for elected AI/AN tribal officials
to speak openly about the public health issues affecting their tribal
nations. This consultation session is virtual and open to the public.
Elected tribal officials can find guidance to assist in developing
tribal testimony for CDC/ATSDR at <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/documents/consultation/Tribal-Testimony-Guidance.pdf">https://www.cdc.gov/tribal/documents/consultation/Tribal-Testimony-Guidance.pdf</a>. Please submit tribal
testimony on official tribal letterhead.
Based on the number of elected tribal officials giving testimony
and the time available, it may be necessary to limit the time for each
presenter. We will adjourn tribal consultation meetings early if all
attendees who requested to provide oral testimony in advance of and
during the consultation have delivered their comments. Agenda items are
subject to change as priorities dictate.
