§2507 Application with respect to Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act

Summary

Thirteen specific parts of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act must also apply to grants made under this chapter. Those parts cover things like single-agency audits, criminal penalties, wage and labor rules, keeping Federal employee coverage, use of Federal property and supply sources, leasing of facilities, limits on cost rules and allowed uses of funds, certain model-agreement rules, reassumption, and protection of tribal sovereign immunity. A contractor with an ISDEAA contract that was in effect on January 8, 2002 can tell the Secretary they want the grant rules here to apply instead. That choice takes effect on the first day of July after they give notice. If that July is less than 60 days after the notice, the change waits until the first day of July of the year after the election. Grants under this chapter cannot pay expenses that are already paid under an ISDEAA contract. Tribes that take over Bureau or contract schools with help under this chapter get the same access to buildings, supplies, carryover funds, and facility-improvement funding as if they were contracting under ISDEAA. Audit findings and grant disputes follow the same rules as ISDEAA contracts, and the Equal Access to Justice Act applies to appeals filed after September 8, 1988.
