Tribal Consultation Advisory Committee (TCAC)
to the Director, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC)
Office of the Director, CDC
Federal Advisory Committee
(FACA Exempt)
Designated Federal
Officer – Captain Pelagie (Mike) Snesrud
The Tribal Consultation Advisory Committee to the Director, shall
advise the Director of CDC and Administrator of ATSDR, on policy
issues and broad strategies that may affect American Indian/Alaska
Native (AI/AN) tribes and people. The TCAC will assist CDC in
fulfilling its mission to promote health and quality of life by
preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability through
established and ongoing relationships and consultation sessions.
CDC honors the sovereignty of AI/AN governments, respects the
inherent rights of self governance, commits to work on a
government-to-government basis, and uphold the federal trust
responsibility. The TCAC provides a forum for meetings between CDC leadership and elected or
appointed Tribal leaders (or their designated employees with
authority to act on their behalf); as well as representatives of
national Tribal organizations designated by Tribal leaders to act on
their behalf, in compliance with the exemptions with the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The meetings will facilitate the exchange
of views, information, or advice concerning the intergovernmental
responsibilities in the implementation and/or administration of CDC
programs, including those that arise explicitly or implicitly under
statute, regulation or Executive Order. Such meetings include, but
are not limited to, seeking consensus, exchanging views,
information, advice, and/or recommendations, or facilitating any
other interaction relating to intergovernmental responsibilities or
administration. Meetings may be face-to-face or via conference
call. TCAC meetings will complement and not supplant the Tribal
consultation process between CDC and the Tribes.
