SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB approval for the admission
forms for the Student Enrollment Application in Bureau-funded Schools.
School registrars collect information on this form to determine the
student's eligibility for enrollment in a Bureau-funded school, and if
eligible, is shared with appropriate school officials to identify the
student's base and supplemental educational and/or residential program
needs. The BIE compiles the information into a national database to
facilitate budget requests and the allocation of congressionally
appropriated funds.
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
