20 C.F.R. § 632.173 Allowable program activities.
Title 20 - Employees' Benefits
(a) Native American grantees may undertake programs and activities consistent with the purposes of the Act including, but not limited to, programs and activities described in §§632.78 through 632.81. (b) Native American grantees are encouraged to develop innovative means of addressing the needs of unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged members of their communities and of contributing to the permanent economic self-sufficiency of such communities. (c) Training and placement in the private sector will be emphasized. CSE and work experience are permitted when consistent over the long term with increasing earnings in unsubsidized employment. Expenditures for CSE are limited to 10 percent or the unemployment rate, based on data collected by an appropriate Federal or State agency including BIA, of a NAG's total section 401 allocation. For nonreservation grantees, the official BLS unemployment rate or State job service rate for the area will be used. (d) Wages and allowances are to be kept to a minimum to maximize funds to be used for training. (e) Innovative approaches to the private sector are encouraged. (f) Other activities described in §632.80 should use no more than 25 percent of the funds. This limitation may be increased to accommodate the extraordinary costs associated with special training projects where it is clear the benefits support the additional cost. An increase to this limitation shall be approved in instances such as, but not limited to, rural participants needing relocation for training, when the costs of housing, transportation, etc., for training participants cannot be met within a 25 percent limitation, and for TERO activities.
