Sec. 3302. Findings

-STATUTE-

The Congress finds that -

(1) there are increasing numbers of Indian students qualifying

for postsecondary education, and there are increasing numbers

desiring to go to postsecondary institutions;

(2) the needs of these students far outpace the resources

available currently;

(3) Indian tribes have shown an increasing interest in

administering programs serving these individuals and making

decisions on these programs reflecting their determinations of

the tribal and human needs;

(4) the contracting process under the Indian Self-Determination

and Education Assistance Act [25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.] has provided

a mechanism for the majority of the tribes to assume control over

this program from the Bureau of Indian Affairs;

(5) however, inherent limitations in the contracting philosophy

and mechanism, coupled with cumbersome administrative procedures

developed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs have effectively

limited the efficiency and effectiveness of these programs;

(6) the provision of these services in the most effective and

efficient form possible is necessary for tribes, the country, and

the individuals to be served; and

(7) these services are part of the Federal Government's

continuing trust responsibility to provide education services to

American Indian and Alaska Natives.

(2) Causes for loss of eligibility

The Secretary may revoke the eligibility of an Indian tribe for

(A) fails to submit to the Bureau an annual financial

statement that reports revenues and expenditures determined by

use of an accounting system, established by the tribe, that

complies with generally accepted accounting principles;

(B) fails to submit to the Bureau an annual program

description, stating the number of students served, and

program conducted by an impartial third party entity, to comply

with standards under this subchapter relating to (i) eligible

students, programs, or institutions of higher education, (ii)

satisfactory progress, or (iii) allowable administrative costs;

as determined under contracts applicable to programs to provide

financial assistance to individual Indian students for the cost

of attendance at institutions of higher education administered

by Indian tribes under the Indian Self-Determination and

Education Assistance Act [25 U.S.C. 450 et seq.] and in effect

on January 20, 1991.

(a) Allocation of funds

(1) In general

The Secretary shall continue to determine the amount of program

(2) Administrative costs

In addition to the amount determined under paragraph (1), a

grantee which has exercised the option given in section 3304(a)

the method used by the grantee during the preceding contract

period. All other grantees shall receive an amount for

administrative costs determined pursuant to the regulations

governing such determinations under the Indian Self Determination

account.

(b) Use of funds

Funds provided by grants under this subchapter shall be used -

(1) to make grants to individual Indian students to meet, on

administered by tribes under the Indian Self Determination and

Education Assistance Act (Public Law 93-638) [25 U.S.C. 450 et

seq.]), to the extent that such expense is not met from other

sources or cannot be defrayed through the action of any State,

Federal, or municipal Act, except that nothing in this subsection

shall be interpreted as requiring any priority in consideration

of resources; and

(2) costs of administering the program under this subchapter,

except that no more may be spent on administration of such

program than is generated by the method for administrative cost

computation specified in subsection (a)(2) of this section.

Sec. 3324. Critical area service agreements

-STATUTE-

(a) Terms of agreements

A critical area service agreement shall be an agreement between

an Indian student who receives or who shall receive federally

funded higher education assistance and an Indian tribe or tribal

organization providing such assistance in which the student agrees

-

(1) to undertake a course of study at an eligible institution

(as that term is defined in section 1085(a) of title 20) in an

area of critical need, as determined under section 3323 of this

title, and to pursue that course of study to its completion; and

(2)(A) to perform, for each academic year for which the student

receives federally funded higher education assistance under a

critical area service agreement, one calendar year of service to

the tribe or organization in an occupation that is in a critical

area designated by the tribe pursuant to section 3323(b) (!1) of

this title, commencing not later than 6 months after the student

ceases to carry at an institution of higher education at least

one-half the normal full-time academic workload as determined by

the institution; or

(B) to repay such assistance to the Secretary, together with

interest thereon at a rate prescribed by the Secretary by

regulation, in monthly or quarterly installments over not more

than 5 years.

(b) Service limitations and conditions

The tribe or tribal organization shall agree that a student

performing services under a critical area service agreement -

(1) shall be provided compensation, benefits, and working

conditions at the same level and to the same extent as any other

employee working a similar length of time and doing the same type

of work;

(2) may be treated as providing services to the tribe or

organization if the student provides services for members of the

tribe or organization that are approved by the tribe or

organization and agreed to by the student even though such

services are performed while the student is employed by a

Federal, State, or local agency or instrumentality or by a

nonprofit or for-profit private institution or organization; and

(3) may obtain the benefits of a waiver or suspension in

accordance with the requirements of subsection (c) of this

section.

(c) Waiver and suspension of service agreement

(1) Waiver

An Indian tribe or tribal organization may, by formal action,

waive the service agreement of an Indian student for just cause,

as determined in accordance with regulations prescribed by the

Secretary. The tribe or organization shall notify the Secretary

in writing of any waiver granted under this subsection.

(2) Suspension

The obligation of a student to perform services under a

critical area service agreement -

(A) shall be suspended for not more than 18 months if, at the

request of the student, the tribe or organization determines

that there are no employment opportunities available in any

critical service area; and

(B) shall be suspended if the student ceases to attend an

institution of higher education as a consequence of an

institutional determination of unsatisfactory performance.

If, at the end of a period of suspension under subparagraph (A),

there are still no employment opportunities available in any

critical service area, the student's obligations under the

agreement shall terminate. A suspension under subparagraph (B)

shall be reviewed by the tribe or organization annually, but may

be continued indefinitely.

(d) Pro rata reduction for partial services

The Secretary shall, by regulation, provide for the pro rata

reduction of repayment obligations under subsection (a)(2) of this

section in the case of any student who partially completes the

service obligation of that student under subsection (a)(2)(A) of

this section.

(e) Certification of service

An Indian tribe or tribal organization receiving services under a

critical area service agreement -

(1) shall establish procedures for monitoring and evaluating

the provisions of this subchapter, and provide a copy of such

procedures to the Secretary and to each individual providing

services under a critical area service agreement;

REFERENCES IN TEXT

Section 3323(b) of this title, referred to in subsec. (a)(2)(A),

was in the original a reference to "section 1322(b)", meaning

section 1322(b) of Pub. L. 102-325, which has been translated as

reading section 1323(b) of Pub. L. 102-325 to reflect the probable

intent of Congress because section 1322 does not have a subsec. (b)

and section 1323(b) relates to designation of critical areas by

tribes.
