  • Tribal Consultation Implementation Guidance for Region 1 (pdf) (10/1/2013)
    The goals of this guidance document are to: (1) establish clear EPA Region 1 procedures for the tribal consultation process, including defining the “why, what, when, and how” of tribal consultation; (2) identify roles and responsibilities of those involved in tribal consultation to promote consistency in, and coordination of, the consultation process; and (3) establish oversight and reporting processes to strive for regional accountability and transparency.
