    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.
    Title of Collection: Data Elements for Student Enrollment in 
Bureau-funded Schools.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0122.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Bureau funded Contract and Grant 
schools.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 48,000 per year, on 
average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 48,000 per year, on 
average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,000 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.

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

    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
