Tribal Systems
Tribes that choose to operate an automated data processing system by implementing an Intergovernmental Agreement, using the Model Tribal System, or joining a consortium must submit an Advance Planning Document (APD) to obtain federal funding for installation-related costs. OCSE offers templates, tools, advice and technical assistance to tribes as they prepare their APDs.
