Native American Employment and Training Council

AGENCY: Employment and Training Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of Renewal of the Native American Employment and 
Training Council charter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Labor (Department) announces the renewal of 
the Native American Employment and Training Council (NAETC) charter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Authority

    Section 166(i)(4) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act 
(WIOA), 29 U.S.C. 3221(i)(4) requires the Secretary of Labor 
(Secretary) to establish and maintain the NAETC. The statute, as 
amended, requires the Secretary, to formally consult at least twice 
annually with the NAETC on the operation and administration of the WIOA 
Section 166 Indian and Native American Employment and Training 
programs. In addition, the NAETC advises the Secretary on matters that 
promote the employment and training needs of Indians and Native 
Americans, as well as to enhance the quality of life in accordance with 
the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. The NAETC 
also provides guidance to the Secretary on how to make Department of 
Labor discretionary funding and other special initiatives more 
accessible to federally recognized tribes, Alaska Native entities, and 
Native Hawaiian organizations.

II. Structure

    The Council will be composed of no less than 15 members, but no 
more than 20, appointed by the Secretary, who are representatives of 
Indian tribes, tribal organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-
controlled organizations serving Indians, or Native Hawaiian 
organizations pursuant to WIOA Section 166(i)(4)(B). The membership of 
the Council will, to the extent practicable, represent all geographic 
areas of the United States with a substantial Indian, Alaska Native, or 
Native Hawaiian population, and will include representatives of tribal 
governments and of non-reservation Native American organizations that 
have expertise in the areas of workforce development, secondary and 
post-secondary education, health care, business and economic 
development, and other sectors with job growth.
    Each NAETC member will be appointed for a two-year term. A vacancy 
occurring in the Council membership will be filled in the same manner 
as the original appointment. A member appointed to a vacancy on the 
Council will serve for the remainder of the term for which the 
predecessor of that member was appointed. Members of NAETC will serve 
on a voluntary and generally uncompensated basis, but will be 
reimbursed for travel expenses to attend NAETC meetings, including per 
diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by the Federal travel 
regulations. All NAETC members will serve at the pleasure of the 
Secretary. Members may be appointed, reappointed, or replaced, and 
their terms may be extended, changed, or terminated at the Secretary's 
discretion.
