    The IEED is seeking renewal of the approval for the information 
collection conducted under OMB Control Number 1076-0135, Reporting 
System for Public Law 102-477 Demonstration Project. This information 
collection allows IEED to document satisfactory compliance with 
statutory, regulatory, and other requirements of the various integrated

federally funded employment, training, and related services and 
programs into a single, coordinated, comprehensive service delivery 
plan. Funding agencies include the Department of the Interior, 
Department of Labor, and the Department of Health and Human Services. 
Indian Affairs is statutorily required to serve as the lead agency and 
provides a single, universal report format for use by tribal 
governments to report on integrated activities and expenditures. The 
IEED shares the information collected from these reports with the 
Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services.
    Approval for this collection expires September 30, 2010. There are 
forms associated with this collection. No third party notification or 
public disclosure burden is associated with this collection. There is 
no change to the approved burden hours for this information collection.
