SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

I. Abstract
The Assistant Secretary—Indian
Affairs is seeking revisions for the
information collection conducted under
OMB Control Number 1076–0135,
Reporting System for Public Law 102–
477 Demonstration Project. This
information allows the Office of Indian
Energy and Economic Development
(IEED), which reports to the Assistant
Secretary—Indian Affairs, 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. 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.
There are currently four information
collections associated with this OMB
Control Number: IA 7701—Narrative
Report, IA 7702—Statistical Report, IA
7703—Financial Report, and IA
7703A—Tribal Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) Financial
Report. These forms are included in this

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:14 Sep 25, 2014

Jkt 232001

request and will continue to be
authorized for use until 2017.
The revision reduces the number of
forms to two: Statistical Report and
Financial Expenditure Report. The
previous TANF Financial Report and
Financial Report have been combined to
create the Financial Expenditure Report,
allowing tribes to complete and submit
the information on one form. Revisions
were made to the Narrative Report and
Statistical Report to provide clear
instructions and guidance. In addition,
a new guidance document, ‘‘Function
Cost Categories,’’ has been added for
reference.
The new reporting forms (Version 2)
will replace the currently approved
forms (Version 1) after 2017. To the
extent possible, tribes should begin
using the new reporting forms (Version
2) as they enter new contracts, but in no
case later than the 2017 expiration date.
Until then, the BIA will continue to
accept either version of the forms to
ensure a smooth transition in reporting
and to allow time for training and
technical assistance.
II. Request for Comments
The Assistant Secretary—Indian
Affairs requests your comments on this
collection concerning: (a) The necessity
of this information collection for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden (hours and cost)
of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
Ways we could enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) Ways we could
minimize the burden of the collection of
the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid
OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments
available to the public for review at the
location listed in the ADDRESSES section.
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.
The Assistant Secretary—Indian
Affairs received 7 comments in response

to the 60-day comment period
published in the Federal Register on
February 14, 2014 (79 CFR 8985). The
comments included questions and
suggestions to clarify the instructions. A
few commenters expressed concerns
regarding the implementation, including
training, of the revised forms. The
Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs,
along with Federal partners, reviewed
the comments and made changes to
clarify the instructions and forms. In
addition, an implementation plan,
which will encompass training, is in
development. A detailed copy of the
comments and responses can be seen on

related services programs into a single,
coordinated, comprehensive delivery
plan. This revision request creates two

Report, IA 7702—Statistical Report, IA
7703—Financial Report, and IA
7703A—Tribal Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF) Financial
Report) and Version 2 reduces the
