In Washington, D.C., several House Bills have been introduced to the 119th Congress that impact Indian Country. These bills cover a range of issues from Alaska Native communities to Indian lands in Tennessee. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is inviting Tribal leaders to a consultation regarding proposed modifications to the HIPAA Security Rule to strengthen cybersecurity. The consultation will address changes in technology, breach trends, enforcement experiences, and other cybersecurity guidelines. Tribal leaders are encouraged to provide public comments on the proposed regulation.
The Administration for Native Americans is seeking a three-year extension of its Project Outcome Assessment Survey to evaluate the effectiveness of ANA grant-funded projects. The survey has been revised based on feedback from grantees to eliminate redundant data elements and clarify requirements. The survey helps ANA meet congressional requirements to evaluate project impacts and is completed once at the end of each project grant period.
