The Foundation must develop best practices for outreach to Tribes
What the document says“``(1) In general.--The Foundation shall develop and implement best practices for conducting outreach to Indian Tribes and Tribal Governments. ``(2) Requirements.--The best practices developed under paragraph (1) shall-- ``(A) include a process to support technical assistance and capacity building to improve outcomes; and ``(B) promote an awareness of programs and grants available under this Act.”
A new subsection (h) added at the end of section 113 of the Marine Debris Act. The Foundation must develop and carry out best practices for outreach to Indian Tribes and Tribal Governments. Those best practices must include a process to support technical assistance and capacity building to improve outcomes, and must promote awareness of the programs and grants available under the Act.
What the document actually says“``(1) In general.--The Foundation shall develop and implement best practices for conducting outreach to Indian Tribes and Tribal Governments. ``(2) Requirements.--The best practices developed under paragraph (1) shall-- ``(A) include a process to support technical assistance and capacity building to improve outcomes; and ``(B) promote an awareness of programs and grants available under this Act.”
The Foundation must work out good ways to reach Tribes. It must then use them. The ways it finds must offer help and build skills. They must tell people about grants.
Outreach means getting in touch and staying in touch. The law does not say how to do it. It leaves that to the Foundation.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
