SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies
with an opportunity 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.

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.
Proposed Changes to Burden
BIE proposes to increase ``Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents'' to reflect enrollment at Tribally Controlled, Navajo, and
Bureau operated schools.
Title of Collection: Homeliving Programs and School Closure and
Consolidation.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0164.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Parents and guardians; Federally
recognized Indian Tribes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 594.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 594 per year, on
average.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 15 minutes to
40 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,039 hours.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: Annual or on occasion, depending on the
activity.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
