POLICY:<\/em><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\">EDA UPDATES REGULATIONS TO MAKE GRANTS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES<\/div>\r\nThe Economic Development Administration (EDA), which helps facilitate regional economic growth in communities across the country, announced today that it has updated its regulations to create greater opportunities for Native American Communities to participate in its grant programs.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nThe new rule, published last week in the Federal Register, extends EDA Tribal eligibility to include for-profit entities that are wholly owned by and established for the benefit of a Tribe. This action follows a government-to-government consultation in April between EDA and representatives of Native American Communities, who were broadly supportive of the eligibility expansion. It is a result of EDA\u2019s ongoing efforts to meet the needs of our Tribal communities and to increase their participation. \r\n<P><\/P>\r\n<strong>Read more at <a href=https:\/\/eda.gov\/news\/blogs\/2021\/09\/24\/updated-regulations-native-american-communities.htm>eda.gov<\/a>.<\/strong>\r\n<P><\/P>\r\n<div class=\"h5-responsive sub\"><EM>2.

These committee members will advise Bureau leadership on a broad range of consumer financial issues and emerging market trends.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nThe Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act charges the CFPB with establishing a CAB to advise and consult with the Bureau\u2019s Director on a variety of consumer financial issues. The Bureau also created three councils: the CBAC, CUAC, and ARC. The CBAC and CUAC advise and consult with the Bureau on consumer financial issues related to community banks and credit unions. The ARC advises the Bureau on its strategic research planning process and research agenda and provides feedback on research methodologies, data collection strategies, and methods of analysis, including methodologies and strategies for quantifying the costs and benefits of regulatory actions.\r\n<P><\/P>\r\nThe committee members include experts in consumer protection, financial services, consumer lending, economic justice, and consumer financial products and services as well as representatives of community banks and credit unions.
