Include information about the frequency, inclusiveness and process for seeking such advice. The two federally recognized tribes in Florida are the Seminole and Miccosukee tribes. A letter was sent to each tribe on August 15, 2011, suggesting a consultation process for Title XXI State Plan Amendment changes. The suggested process includes sending a letter to each tribe 30 days in advance of amending the Title XXI State Plan, to offer them an opportunity to provide input on the proposed changes. Neither tribe responded to this letter; however, we will interpret this to mean they have no comments. The tribal consultation process assumes that the tribe does not have any comments if no response is received.
