I. Abstract
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) is seeking renewal for an
information collection that would allow it to collect information
regarding individuals' qualifications to serve on the Federal advisory
committee known as the Advisory Board for Exceptional Children. This
information collection requires persons interested in being nominated
to serve on the Board to provide information regarding their
qualifications. This information collection includes one form.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA)
of 2004, (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.) requires the BIE to establish an
Advisory Board on Exceptional Education. See 20 U.S.C. 1411(h)(6).
Advisory Board members shall serve staggered terms of two or three
years from the date of their appointment. This Board is currently in
operation. This information collection allows BIE to better manage the
nomination process for future appointments to the Board.
II. Request for Comments
The BIE requests your comments on this collection concerning: (a)
The necessity of this information collection for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden (hours and cost) of the collection of information, including
the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways we could
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) Ways we could minimize the burden of the collection
of the information on the respondents.
Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a valid OMB Control Number.
It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for
review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. 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
