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.
