EPA Tribal Consultation Coordination Policy
Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency has published its Tribal Consultation Coordination Policy, establishing the framework for EPA's engagement with tribal governments on matters affecting tribal interests. The policy outlines procedures for early and meaningful consultation, including notification requirements, designated points of contact, and processes for incorporating tribal input into EPA decision-making.
About this source
Every Environmental Protection Agency document on regulations.gov, the federal rulemaking portal: pesticide tolerance proposals, NESHAP technology reviews, Clean Air Act SIP submissions, hazardous waste rule changes, ICR survey notices, and consultation rounds for any of the above. Around 320 a month. EPA is one of the heaviest users of regulations.gov, partly because the Federal Register version of any EPA action is usually shorter than the supporting docket which lives here. Watch this if you advise on environmental compliance, run an emissions program at an industrial facility, or track Toxic Substances Control Act and Clean Water Act enforcement trends. GovPing surfaces each posting with the docket ID, document type, and comment window where applicable.
What changed
The EPA Tribal Consultation Coordination Policy formalizes the Agency's commitment to government-to-government consultation with federally recognized tribes. The policy establishes procedural requirements including advance notification of proposed actions that may affect tribal interests, designation of tribal liaison personnel, and structured processes for receiving and considering tribal input before finalizing Agency decisions.
Tribal nations and EPA regional offices should familiarize themselves with the consultation procedures established by this policy to ensure compliance with federal trust obligations and Executive Order 13175 requirements.
