Program Administration Option: Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act (102-477)

The Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Demonstration Act of 1992, as amended, (P.L. 102-477) was enacted to:

• Demonstrate how Indian tribal governments can integrate the employment, training and related services they provide in order to improve the effectiveness of those services;
• Reduce joblessness in Indian communities;
• Foster economic development in Indian communities; and
• Serve tribally determined goals consistent with the policies of self-determination and self-governance.

Public Law 102-477 permits tribal governments to consolidate a number of Federal programs to integrate their federally funded employment, training, and related services programs into a single, coordinated comprehensive program. The TANF and CCDF programs may be consolidated under P.L. 102-477. The Office of Self-Governance and Self-Determination, U.S. Department of the Interior serves as the Lead Agency for all P.L. 102-477 plans. Consolidation into 102-477 does not relieve the grantee of its responsibilities for meeting program reporting requirements and for fiscal accountability.
