Abstract: The BIA—Indian Services is
seeking revisions for the information
collection Reporting System for Public
Law 102–477 Demonstration Project.
This information allows the Division of
Workforce Development (DWD), which
reports to the BIA—Indian Services, to
document satisfactory compliance with
statutory, regulatory, and other
requirements of the various integrated
programs. Public Law 102–477
authorized tribal governments to
integrate federally funded employment,
training, and related services and
programs into a single, coordinated,
comprehensive service delivery plan.
Funding agencies include the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Health and Human
Services. BIA is statutorily required to
serve as the lead agency and provides a
single, universal report format for use by
tribal governments to report on
integrated activities and expenditures.
The DWD shares the information
collected from these reports with the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Health and Human
Services.
This renewal will be revised to
include information collected under 25
CFR part 26 to administer the job
placement and training program,
through Tribes, which provides
vocational/technical training, related
counseling, guidance, and job
placement services, and limited
financial assistance to Indian
individuals who are not less than 18
years old and who reside with the
Department of the Interior (DOI)
approved service areas. Public Law 102–
477 allows tribes to consolidate into a
single plan, single budget and single
report to one office programs they
currently have under contract or grant.
The job placement and training program
has been included in these 477 plans.
Since tribes determine which programs
will be included, the plans vary from
tribe to tribe. Submission of this
information allows DOI, through Tribes,
to administer the job placement and
training program, which provides
vocational/technical training, related
counseling, guidance, job placement
services, and limited financial
assistance to Indian individuals who are
not less than 18 years old and who
reside within DOI approved service
areas. The information collection
includes an application for services,
quarterly progress reports, and
information from employers regarding
opportunities.
