SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS announces OHS Tribal Consultations for 
leaders of Tribal Governments operating Head Start and Early Head Start 
programs. The agenda for the scheduled OHS Tribal Consultations in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Arlington, Virginia, and Spokane, Washington, 
will be organized around the statutory purposes of Head Start Tribal 
Consultations related to meeting the needs of American Indian and 
Alaska Native children and families, taking into consideration funding 
allocations, distribution formulas, and other issues affecting the 
delivery of Head Start services in their geographic locations. In 
addition, OHS will share actions taken and in progress to address the 
issues and concerns raised in the 2015 OHS Tribal Consultations.
    The Consultation Sessions will be conducted with elected or

as observers.
    A detailed report of each Consultation Session will be prepared and 
made available within 45 days of the Consultation Sessions to all 
Tribal Governments receiving funds for Head Start and Early Head Start 
programs. Tribes wishing to submit written testimony for the report 
should send testimony to Angie Godfrey at [email protected]
