Today the U.S. Department of the Treasury released the Final Rule on the increased credit for Prevailing Wage & Apprenticeships under the Inflation Reduction Act. In response to Tribal consultations, two Tribal Special Rules were adopted in the Final Rule that addresses: (1) circumstances involving Tribal government employment; & (2) Tribal lands. To read more and access the Final Rule, see our federal response to the Tribal consultation.
Fatima Abbas, this update on the Final Rule under the Inflation Reduction Act is incredibly important. The inclusion of Tribal Special Rules, particularly addressing Tribal government employment and Tribal lands, is a significant step forward in recognizing and addressing the unique needs of Tribal communities. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's responsiveness to Tribal consultations is commendable and highlights the importance of inclusive policy-making. Thank you for sharing this vital information. Looking forward to seeing the positive impact these rules will have on Tribal communities. To learn more and access the Final Rule, I encourage everyone to review the federal response to the Tribal consultation. This is a big win for advancing equity and opportunity within Tribal nations!
