If your comment cannot be submitted using https:// The General Services Administration routinely hires, reassigns, promotes or transfers Federal employees to duty stations in foreign areas (i.e., outside of the United States and its territories and possessions). Civilian employees located in foreign areas are eligible for different compensation authorities compared to employees located in the United States or its territories or possessions. Besides basic pay, certain foreign allowances are often used as recruitment or retention incentives to make foreign service more economically feasible. One type of allowance is called a ‘‘living quarters allowance,’’ or ‘‘LQA,’’ and allows an agency to reimburse the cost of rental housing as well as utilities (such as electricity, natural gas, and water service). Under this authority (conveyed by the Overseas Differentials and Allowances Act of 1960, Pub. L. 86–707, Sept. 6, 1960, codified at 5 U.S.C. 5923(a)(2)), not all job candidates or overseas employees are necessarily eligible (for example, if Government-provided housing is made available). In addition, for those job candidates eligible, the amount of the benefit varies by rank (i.e., GS grade), presence overseas with or without family, and overall family size. Detailed rules concerning eligibility and other matters are found in the State Department’s Department of State Standardized Regulations, sections 031.12 and Chapter 130. To more effectively administer LQA, the General Services Administration Office of Human Resource Management, Division of Human Capital Policy and Programs, General Services Administration (GSA).

concerns surrounding GSA's support of Tribes with a focus on three 
agency initiatives.

Tribes and Tribal Organizations--Guide To Using GSA Solutions

    ``Tribes and Tribal Organizations: Guide to Using GSA Solutions'' 
outlines how Tribes and Tribal organizations are eligible to use GSA 
solutions in the procurement of goods and services. The guide explains 
the various authorities that support Tribes' and Tribal organizations' 
use of GSA sources and programs, and identifies resources currently 
available for use. GSA's intent in consulting on this document, which 
is continuously in the process of being updated, is to invite Tribal 
feedback to assist GSA in improving the existing guidance to help 
ensure that it speaks to needs that are unique to Tribes and better 
supports future Tribal acquisitions.

Implementation of the Indian Energy Purchase Preference at Federal 
Facilities

    As part of its second Tribal National Summit on November 30, 2022, 
the Biden-Harris administration announced its commitment to ensure that 
investments in the clean energy economy reach Tribal lands. GSA will 
lead a pilot focused on Tribal energy production to develop procurement 
strategies. GSA's intent in consulting on this topic is to gain 
important insight directly from Tribes, tribally owned businesses, 
Tribal utilities, and Tribal entrepreneurs regarding the availability, 
development, or challenges associated with generating and/or selling 
carbon pollution-free electricity to the Federal Government in order to 
inform GSA's development of the pilot.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Initiative for Tribal Nations

    The EV Initiative for Tribal Nations helps to ensure that Tribal 
Nations and Native communities are part of the EV future of the 
country. To support this initiative, GSA is seeking input to understand 
Tribal Nations' role and needs as GSA, subject to applicable 
authorities, assists Tribes with purchasing or leasing electric 
vehicles, mapping the Federal facilities in Indian country to support
