The information collection is needed
to document satisfactory compliance with statutory requirements of
the various integrated programs. P.L. 102-477 authorizes tribal
governments to integrate federally funded programs into a single
coordinated comprehensive service delivery plan. Funding agencies
include the Department of the Interior, Department of Labor, and
Department of Health and Human Services. The Bureau of Indian
Affairs is statutorily requested to serve as the lead agency.
Section 11 of this Act requires that Interior make available a
single universal report format which shall be used by
tribes.

Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992
The program made changes to the
information collection reporting forms. In addition to keeping the
currently approved forms (as Version 1), we are including a new
version of the reporting forms (Version 2) and adding a new
guidance document. This change makes adjustments to the hour and
cost burden, increasing the hourly burden from 3,628 to 4,730
hours. The BIA, in conjunction with the partnering Federal
agencies, will conduct training and provide technical assistance on
the new reporting forms, and we anticipate as tribes become more
familiar with the new reporting forms, the hourly burden will
decrease.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
