  1. P.L. 102-477 Indian Employment, Training, and related Services Demonstration Act of 1992 Amended by P.L. 106-568, the Omnibus Indian Advancement Act of 2000

  2. “477” A Step Towards Self-Governance • Unique Federal Legislation that allows Tribes to combine formula funded Federal grants that are employment and training-related into a single plan with a single budget and a single reporting system. • There is no separate funding associated with P.L. 201-477– All funds in a “477” Plan are those the Tribe would otherwise receive under the authority of the individual programs it chooses to consolidate.

  3. Federal Programs Affected • DOI BIA • GA • AVT • Direct Employment • Higher Ed • TWEP • JOM • DOL • WIA Comprehensive Adult • Supplemental Youth • DHHS • NEW • TANF • Child Care

  7. Citizen Potawatomi NationOur Story • 477 through our SG Agreement includes the following: BIA Higher Ed, AVT, DE, GA, and JOM; DOL WIA Adult and Youth; DHHS Child Care • One Annual Report includes Narrative and Statistical Performance Measures • Economic Development including a revolving loan pool administered through the CPN Community Development Corporation, farm equipment, and grocery store personnel and training (start-up) • Utilize a simple contract with the business owner which includes required statistics—Number of jobs created

  8. 477 Current Issues • DHHS has challenged the “638 contract authority” for TANF—Threatening to pull all DHHS programs from Contracts and Compacts. • DHHS has held up 100% funding drawdown for those programs larger than $1 million. • DOEd—Despite 477 legislative authority in the Carl Perkins Act (1998), the Education Department required all separate program rules and would not allow integration of NAVTEP into 477. • DOL—WIA (strong supporter of 477) lost it’s separate administration as a “Division of Indian and Native American Programs (DINAP)” through a departmental reorganization.
