SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The Office of Indian Service (OIS) is seeking renewal of the 
approval for the information collection conducted under 25 CFR part 26 
to administer the job placement and training program, through Tribes, 
which provides vocational/technical training, related counseling, 
guidance, and job placement services, and limited financial assistance 
to Indian individuals who are not less than 18 years old and who reside 
with the Department of the Interior (DOI) approved service areas.
    This information collection includes a form: BIA-8205, Application 
for Job Placement and/or Training Assistance. The previously approved 
version of this information collection included a reporting element, 
however, this reporting element is also covered under the Reporting 
Systems for Public Law 102-477 Demonstration Project Information 
Collection, OMB# 1076-0135. Therefore, this renewal of OMB# 1076-0062 
no longer includes that reporting element in an effort to not duplicate 
efforts for the public.

II. Request for Comments

    The OIS 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 
has 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 
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.
