SUMMARY:Webinar: A Listening Session on CRA Proposed Rulemaking
DESCRIPTION:Register to join on Thursday\, July 7 at 12:00pm ET \nOn Thursday\, July 7\, from 2:00pm-3:15pm Eastern Time\, NAFOA\, in conjunction with the Center of Indian Country Development (CICD)\, invites you to a virtual discussion and listening session on how Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) proposed rulemaking  could more effectively address the investment and credit needs of Native communities. \nEnacted in 1977\, the CRA encourages banks to help meet the credit needs of low- and moderate-income communities and households. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System\, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)\, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are seeking feedback on proposed rules for modernizing the law to make it more effective\, and their proposal includes a request for feedback from Native citizens and businesses. At this session\, Federal Reserve staff will highlight the proposed rules’ Indian Country related provisions and will listen to and note comments from session attendees. (Learn more about these provisions). Native citizens and businesses and tribal leaders will be encouraged to provide written comments about the proposed rules. \nWe encourage attendees to send Federal staff questions/issues that you would like to discuss by Wednesday\, July 6. Please submit questions via email to Kellen Moore\, \, Policy Communications Specialist\, at kellen@nafoa.org. \nWatch a recording of the webinar \nDownload the Slide Deck

SUMMARY:Webinar with Department of Energy on Direct Loan Solicitation as part of the Loan Programs Office
DESCRIPTION:NAFOA will host a webinar with the Department of Energy on Thursday\, July 28\, at 1:00pm Eastern Time to discuss updates to the Loan Guarantee Program. Interest and relevance of domestic investment in energy increases each week notwithstanding uncertainties.

SUMMARY:Energy Access and Reliability on Tribal Lands Listening Session (external event)
DESCRIPTION:Register\n					\nThis virtual listening session\, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy\, will explore challenges and potential solutions related to energy access and reliability on tribal lands. The goal is to gather important insight directly from Native Nations regarding the current status of unelectrified homes and electricity reliability issues facing tribal communities.\nThe Energy Act of 2020 included specific requirements for DOE to conduct research and report back to Congress on these topics. In accordance with that Act\, the Office of Indian Energy is hosting this listening session to provide tribal leaders and staff from energy\, planning\, natural resources\, and other relevant departments the opportunity to make recommendations on the report.\nThis is a follow-up to the first listening session the Office of Indian Energy hosted in November 2021; however\, attendance at the first session is not a prerequisite to participate in this one. During this listening session\, the Office of Indian Energy will discuss the results of the questionnaire conducted during the first session and share findings from the report to date. Please note that there is a capacity limit for this listening session of 500 participants. Tribes and tribal staff will be given priority to attend if the capacity limit is reached. Register to reserve your spot. Once registered\, you will receive a calendar invite\, including a call-in number\, join link\, and other logistics in an email.\nFor more information on the first listening session\, please visit: https://www.energy.gov/indianenergy/energy-access-and-reliability-tribal-lands-listening-session
