provide the general public and other Federal agencies with an

information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting
burden. It also helps the public understand our information collection
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 21, 2024 (89 FR 52076). No comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. Before including your address, phone number, email
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we
will be able to do so.
Abstract: This information allows the Division of Workforce
Development (DWD), which reports to the BIA--Indian Services, to
document satisfactory compliance with statutory, regulatory, and other
requirements of the various integrated programs. Public Law 102-477
authorized tribal governments to integrate federally funded employment,
training, and related services and programs into a single, coordinated,
comprehensive service delivery plan. Funding agencies include the
Department of Labor and the Department of Health and Human Services.
BIA 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 DWD shares the
information collected from these reports with the Department of Labor
and the Department of Health and Human Services.
Proposed Revisions
BIA proposes to revise the narrative report instructions for the
information collection. All proposed revisions to this information
collection were drafted in partnership with the Tribal Public Law 477
Work Group and presented during the September 26, 2023 (88 FR 55472)
and August 29, 2024 (89 FR 63963) meetings.
