SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand our information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract: The regulations at 25 CFR 36, Subpart G, Home-living
Programs, implement section 1122 of the Native American Education
Improvement Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 95-561, title XI, Sec. 1120, as added
Pub. L. 107-110, title X, Sec. 1042, Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2007).
These regulations require the BIE to implement national standards for
home-living situations in all BIE-funded residential schools. The BIE
must collect information from all BIE-funded residential schools in
order to assess each school's progress in meeting the national
standards. Submission of this information allows the BIE to ensure that
minimum academic standards for the education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in Bureau-operated schools and
Indian-controlled contract schools are met.

Consolidation.

or

divisions of education for the purpose of planning and coordinating all
educational programs of the Tribe. All Tribal education departments

An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
