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.
