 CHAPTER V--EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 668--INDIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAMS UNDER TITLE I OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT--Table of Contents
 
         Subpart F--Accountability for Services and Expenditures
 
Sec. 668.610  How is this accountability documented and fulfilled?

    (a) Each INA grantee must establish its own internal policies and 
procedures to ensure accountability to the INA grantee's governing body, 
as the representative of the Native American community(ies) served by 
the INA program. At a minimum, these policies and procedures must 
provide a system for governing body review and oversight of program 
plans and measures and standards for program performance.
    (b) Accountability to the Department is accomplished in part through 
on-site program reviews (monitoring), which strengthen the INA grantee's 
capability to deliver effective services and protect the integrity of 
Federal funds.
    (c) In addition to audit information, as described at Sec. 668.850 
and program reviews, accountability to the Department is documented and 
fulfilled by the submission of reports. For the purposes of report 
submission, a postmark or date indicating receipt by a private express 
delivery service is acceptable

proof of timely submission. These report requirements are as follows:
    (1) Each INA grantee must submit an annual report on program 
participants and activities. This report must be received no later than 
90 days after the end of the Program Year, and may be combined with the 
report on program expenditures. The reporting format is developed by 
DINAP, in consultation with the Native American Advisory Council, and 
published in the Federal Register.
    (2) Each INA grantee must submit an annual report on program 
expenditures. This report must be received no later than 90 days after 
the end of the Program Year, and may be combined with the report on 
program participants and activities.
    (3) INA grantees are encouraged, but not required, to submit a 
descriptive narrative with their annual reports describing the barriers 
to successful plan implementation they have encountered. This narrative 
should also discuss program successes and other notable occurrences that 
effected the INA grantee's overall performance that year.
    (4) Each INA grantee may be required to submit interim reports on 
program participants and activities and/or program expenditures during 
the Program Year. Interim reports must be received no later than 45 days 
after the end of the reporting period.
