Abstract: In support of Executive
Order 13175, ‘‘Consultation and
Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments’’ (November 6, 2000),
Presidential Memorandum ‘‘Tribal
Consultation and Strengthening Nationto-Nation Relationships’’ (January 26,
2021), and Secretarial Order 3335,
‘‘Reaffirmation of the Federal Trust
Responsibility to Federally Recognized
Indian Tribes and Individual Indian
Beneficiaries’’ (August 20, 2014), the
Service strives to strengthen its
government-to-government relationship
with Indian Tribes through a
commitment to consultation with and
recognition of their right to selfgovernance and Tribal sovereignty.
Coordination with and on the behalf of
Tribes is some of the most important
work the Service does. Within that
work, the Service bears the large
responsibility to ensure that it is
consistently and accurately working on
a government-to-government basis with
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

each Tribe and its delegated program
staff.
An ongoing challenge in this
endeavor is ensuring that Tribal contact
information is accurate and up to date,
because using outdated contact
information when coordinating with
Tribes serves to undermine the integrity
of the Service’s Tribal trust
responsibility. To help maintain the
integrity in our outreach and
collaborative work with Tribes, the
Service’s Southwest (SW) Region Office
of External Affairs (EA) has identified
the need to have a regionally based
contacts database for Tribes that can be
expanded both nationally and to other
regions in the future if such need should
arise. In addition, the Service will
solicit information from the Tribal
contacts regarding their Tribal priorities
and/or interests in relation to Service
programs and periodic updates to those
priorities and/or interests.
The Service plans to solicit a contract
opportunity for the development of a
Tribal contacts database for the SW
Region to facilitate improved
collaboration with Tribes. This database
would need to be accessible by Service
staff and will be updated in real time
with information from Tribal contacts.
In addition, the database will contain a
significant geospatial component to help
ensure that the contacts data can easily
be integrated with various geographic
datasets representing content that is of
mutual interest to the Tribes and the
Service, such as areas in which an
endangered species may exist within
Tribal lands.
Types of data collected from Tribal
contacts to be maintained within the
database include:
General Tribe Information:
• Official Tribe name (or other name,
if different from Federally recognized
Tribe name);
• Tribal contact information, to
include mailing address, phone number,
and official website;
• Relevant cultural information;
• Tribal interest in FWS program;
• Tribal priorities; and
• Additional relevant notes.
Tribal Contact Information:
• Tribal contact/staff name(s);
preferred salutation, job title, and
contact information;
• Type of contact (Tribal leader;
Tribal historic preservation officer;
person in a cultural, legal, grants, fiscal
role, etc.);
• Tribal department;
• Type of work (as related to Servicerelated projects);
• Specialization (e.g., eagles, Mexican
wolves, etc.); and
• Additional relevant notes.

The Service will use the database to
effectively and efficiently uphold its
Federal Trust responsibility to Tribes
through ensuring the integrity of the
contact data needed to do so. Tribal
leader information will be collected
from the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a
baseline but will be updated through
our own working knowledge of changes/
needed revisions. Another purpose of
this database is to better identify Service
actions of interest to Federally
recognized Tribes.
