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.

Consolidation.
OMB Control Number: 1076-0164.

Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Indian Tribes.

with residential programs, of which 13 are Bureau-operated and 52 are
Tribally-operated. Thus, the collection of information must be cleared
for 52 of the 65 residential schools.

average.

hours, depending on the activity.

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
