Background
In 2017, the Congress enacted the Indian Employment Training and
Related Services Consolidation Act of 2017, Public Law 115-93, codified
at 25 U.S.C. 3401-3417 (``2017 Act''). The 2017 update amended and
expanded the Indian Employment and Related Services Demonstration Act
of 1992, Public Law 102-477 (as amended in 2017, ``PL 477'') by, in
part, identifying 12 Federal agencies that are now subject to the
amended law. Under PL 477, Tribes may propose to integrate eligible
grant programs from the Departments of the Interior, Agriculture,
Commerce, Education, Energy, Health & Human Services, Homeland
Security, Housing & Urban Development, Justice, Labor, Transportation,
and Veterans Affairs, consolidate and reprogram grant funds in
accordance with a single plan, budget, and report approved by the
Secretary of the Interior (``477 Plan''). As required by the 2017
updates to PL 477, the Department of the Interior entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) among the 12 Federal agencies to
implement PL 477.
