II. Background
In 2022, FEMA published the 2022-2026 FEMA National Tribal Strategy
to better address the needs of the 574 federally recognized Tribal
Nations and recognized the need to update the Tribal Declarations Pilot
Guidance. Throughout 2023, FEMA worked in a Nation-to-Nation manner
with Tribal Nations across the country through extensive consultations
and listening sessions to identify solutions to alleviate barriers
faced by Tribal Nations when seeking Federal assistance through
disaster declarations. The Guidance revision is a direct outcome of the
extensive engagement with Tribal Nations.
FEMA seeks comments on the Guidance, which is available online at
<a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> under docket ID FEMA-2024-0035. Based on
the comments received, FEMA may make appropriate revisions to the
Guidance. When or if FEMA finalizes the Guidance, FEMA will publish a
notice of availability in the Federal Register and make the final
Guidance available at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. The final Guidance
will not have the force and effect of law.
Authority: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121, et seq.
