​September 20, 2024: Tribal Communication Rulemaking Initiation
​The Tribal Government rulemaking is intended to evaluate various options to encourage and improve communication between the applicant and all tribes who might be impacted by the siting of an energy project. The intent of this rulemaking is to identify the most appropriate requirements that balance the often-competing interests of efficiency of process and protection of resources. The outcome will ideally address both of these areas, as identifying important resources earlier in the process can better protect them while simultaneously avoiding unnecessary delays that can result from important resources being brought to light later in the process. ​
