The responsibilities of the Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in carrying out this Act shall include— the development of a single model report for each Indian tribe and tribal organization that has in place an approved plan under this Act to submit to the Director reports on any consolidated activities undertaken and joint expenditures made under the plan; the provision, directly or through contract, of appropriate voluntary and technical assistance to participating tribes and tribal organizations; the development and use of a single monitoring and oversight system for plans approved under this Act; the receipt of all funds covered by a plan approved under this Act; and distribution of the funds to the respective Indian tribes and tribal organizations by not later than 20 days after the date of receipt of the funds from the appropriate Federal department or agency; and the performance of activities described in section 7 relating to agency waivers; and the establishment of an interagency dispute resolution process.
At the election of an Indian tribe or tribal organization that has in place an approved plan under this Act, the plan may incorporate any provision of the Indian Self-Determination Act (25 U.S.C. 450f et seq.). On incorporation of a provision under subparagraph (A), the provision shall have the same force and effect as if incorporated in this Act. Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the Indian Employment, Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2013 , the Secretary (acting through the Director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs), in conjunction with the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Labor, Transportation, and Veterans Affairs and the Attorney General, shall enter into an interdepartmental memorandum of agreement providing for the implementation of this Act.

(A)shall include provisions relating to— an annual meeting of participating Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Federal departments and agencies, to be cochaired by— a representative of the President; and a representative of the participating tribes and tribal organizations; an annual review of the achievements under this Act and any statutory, regulatory, administrative, or policy obstacles that prevent participating Indian tribes or tribal organizations from fully and efficiently carrying out the purposes of this Act; and a forum comprised of participating Indian tribes, tribal organizations, and Federal departments and agencies to identify and resolve interagency conflicts and conflicts between the Federal Government and Indian tribes or tribal organizations in the administration of this Act. The Secretary shall develop and distribute to Indian tribes and tribal organizations that have in place an approved plan under this Act a single report format, in accordance with the requirements of this Act. The Secretary shall ensure that the report format developed under paragraph (1), together with records maintained by each participating Indian tribe or tribal organization, contains information sufficient— to determine whether the tribe or tribal organization has complied with the requirements of the approved plan of the tribe or tribal organization; and to provide assurances to the head of each applicable Federal department or agency that the tribe or tribal organization has complied with all directly applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The report format developed under paragraph
(1)shall not require a participating Indian tribe or tribal organization to report on the expenditure of funds (expressed by fund source or single agency code) transferred to the tribe or tribal organization under an approved plan under this Act. .
