Additional Information of Eligibility:
Eligible Applicants: The governing bodies of Indian tribes (and consortia of those governing bodies) located on Federal and State reservations.
The definition of ``Indian Tribe'' was amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act enacted on July 22, 2014, to include ``a tribal organization (as defined in section 4(l) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C.
450(b)(l)).'' In addition, the Department published final regulations in the Federal Register on February 5, 2015 (80 FR 6452), amending the definition of ``reservation'' in 34 CFR 369.4 and 371.4.
The amended definition now reads, `` `Reservation' means a Federal or State Indian reservation; public domain Indian allotment; former Indian reservation in Oklahoma; land held by incorporated Native groups, regional corporations, and village corporations under the provisions of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act; or a defined area of land recognized by a State or the Federal Government where there is a concentration of tribal members and on which the tribal government is providing structured activities and services.''
