            Indian Employment, Training and Related Services
                          Consolidation Act of 2015

          As ordered reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources
                                on March 16, 2016


Under current law, a variety of federal agencies provide financial assistance to Indian
tribes for a wide range of purposes. Under the Indian Employment, Training and Related
Services Demonstration Act and subject to approval by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA),
tribes can consolidate certain types of federal grants, particularly those that support
programs related to employment, training, and education. H.R. 329 would amend that act
to expand the types of federal grants that tribes could consolidate.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 329 would have no significant effect on the federal
budget because the legislation would not affect the overall amount of assistance provided
by federal agencies to tribes. Based on information from BIA, CBO estimates that any
increased federal costs to oversee and administer tribal plans under the bill, which would
be subject to appropriation, would not exceed $500,000 in any year.

Enacting H.R. 329 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go
procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 329 would not increase net
direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
beginning in 2027.

H.R. 329 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.

On January 8, 2016, CBO transmitted a cost estimate for S. 1443, the Indian Employment,
Training and Related Services Consolidation Act of 2015, as ordered reported by the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on October 21, 2015. H.R. 329 and S. 1443 are
similar, and the CBO cost estimates are the same.

The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll. The estimate was approved by
Theresa Gullo, Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
