The EPA recently released its final policy on consultation and coordination with Indian tribes. The policy establishes a new, broader standard for the types of actions that may be appropriate for consultation — such as developing standards, guidance, policies, permitting decisions, and activities under international agreements — and makes clear the two-way nature of government-to-government consultation by inviting tribes to request issues for consultation. The policy also establishes a management, oversight and reporting structure that will help ensure accountability and transparency.
