        Determination Contract (referred to in this agreement as the 
        ``Contract''), is entered into by the Secretary of the Interior 
        or the Secretary of Health and Human Services (referred to in 
        this agreement as the ``Secretary''), for and on behalf of the 
        United States pursuant to title I of the Indian Self-

        Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450 et 
        seq.) and each provision of this Contract shall be liberally 
        construed for the benefit of the Contractor to transfer the 
        funding and the following related functions, services, 
        activities, and programs (or portions thereof), including all 
        related administrative functions, from the Federal Government 
        to the Contractor: (List functions, services, activities, and 
        programs).
            ```(3) Tribal law and forums.--The laws or policies (or 
        both) and procedures of the Contractor shall be applied in the 
        performance of this Contract and the powers and decisions of 
        the tribal court of the Contractor or other dispute resolution 
        mechanism shall be binding to the extent that such laws or 
        policies (or both) and procedures are not inconsistent with 
        applicable Federal laws, including the Indian Self-
        Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450 et 
        seq.), construed in accordance with the applicable canons of 
        construction.
    ```(b) Terms, Provisions, and Conditions.--
            ```(1) Term.--The term of this Contract shall not exceed 3 
        years, unless the Secretary and the Contractor agree to a 
        longer period pursuant to section 105(c)(1)(B) of the Indian 
        Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 
        450j(c)(1)(B)). Pursuant to section 105(d)(1) of such Act (25 
        U.S.C. 450j(d)), upon the election by the Contractor, the 
        period of this Contract shall be determined on the basis of a 
        calendar year, unless the Secretary and the Contractor agree on 
        a different period in the annual funding agreement incorporated 
        by reference in subsection (f)(2).
            ```(2) Effective date.--This Contract shall become 
        effective upon the date of the approval and execution by the 
        Contractor and the Secretary, unless the Contractor and the 
        Secretary agree on an effective date other than the date 
        specified in this paragraph.
            ```(3) Funding amount.--Subject to the availability of 
        appropriations, the Secretary shall make available to the 
        Contractor the total amount specified in the annual funding 
        agreement incorporated by reference in subsection (f)(2). Such 
        amount shall not be less than the applicable amount determined 
        pursuant to section 106(a) of the Indian Self-Determination and 
        Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 450j-1).
            ```(4) Limitation of costs.--The Contractor shall not be 
        obligated to continue performance that requires an expenditure 
        of funds in excess of the amount of funds awarded under this 
        Contract. If, at any time, the Contractor has reason to believe 
        that the total amount required for performance of this Contract 
        or a specific activity conducted under this Contract would be 
        greater than the amount of funds awarded under this Contract, 
        the Contractor shall notify the appropriate Secretary. If the 
        appropriate Secretary does not take such action as may be 
        necessary to increase the amount of funds awarded under this 
        Contract, the Contractor may suspend performance of the 
        Contract until such time as additional funds are awarded. If, 
        pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Contractor suspends 
        performance of the Contract, all duties and responsibilities 
        assumed by the Contractor before the date on which the 
        Contractor suspends performance shall be transferred to the 
        appropriate Secretary, and the appropriate Secretary shall 
        carry out such duties and responsibilities.

                    ```(A) In general.--Payments to the Contractor 
                under this Contract shall--
                            ```(i) be made as expeditiously as

                        Education Assistance Act, and notwithstanding 
                        any other provision of law, for each fiscal 
                        year covered by this Contract, the Secretary

                        funds specified for the fiscal year under the 
                        annual funding agreement incorporated by

                        fiscal year, except that in any case in which 
                        the contract year coincides with the Federal
