The Status of Tribal Air Report

The 2022 Status of Tribal Air Report will be released at the NTAA Annual Meeting during the NTFAQ. The STAR is an annual publication intended to provide an understanding of the importance and impact of Tribal air programs. Nationally vetted Tribal needs, priorities, and recommendations are outlined, as well as, successes and challenges experienced by the environmental professionals are highlighted by way of personal narratives submitted by the Tribes themselves. A budget analysis appendix is included in each edition of the STAR, and over the years a variety of other appendices have served to underscore important and relevant topics. Here you can find the most recent STAR.
