3. WEBINAR: <\/EM><\/div>\r\n
TODAY, JANUARY 18 – SLFRF PROJECT & EXPENDITURE REPORT COMPLIANCE WEBINAR<\/div>\r\nThe State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program (SLFRF), authorized in the American Rescue Plan, allocates $20 billion for Tribal governments to support their response to the COVID-19 public health emergency. After carefully considering feedback received through Tribal consultations and written comments from Tribal governments, the U.S. Treasury has made revisions to the SLFRF program in a Final Rule adopted on January 6, 2022.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nTreasury published a user-friendly overview of many of the major provisions<\/a> of the final rule. The final rule provides broader flexibility and greater simplicity in the program, in response to public comments. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nNAFOA, in coordination with Treasury, is hosting a webinar on January 18, 2022, at 3:00pm EST to walk through the SLFRF Project & Expenditure report for Tribal governments. You may register for the webinar here<\/a>.\r\n
