Background
In 2017, 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 Act amended and
expanded the Indian Employment and Related Services Demonstration Act
of 1992, Public Law 102-477 by, in part, identifying twelve Federal
agencies that are now subject to the amended law (as amended by the
2017 Act, ``PL477'').
Under PL477, 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 PL477, the Department of the
Interior and its eleven partner Federal agencies entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) governing the implementation of PL477.
That MOA is being renegotiated among the twelve Federal partners and
Tribal representatives.
Annual Meeting

Assistant Secretary--Indian Affairs, Bryan
