SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
April 9, 2018 (83 FR 15172). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of the BIE; (2) will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
how might the BIE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIE minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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.
    Abstract: Each tribally-controlled college or university requesting 
financial assistance under the Tribally Controlled Colleges and 
Universities Assistance Act of 1978 (the Act) (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), 
which provides grants to Tribally Controlled Colleges or Universities 
for the purpose of ensuring continued and expanded educational 
opportunities for Indian students. Similarly, each Tribally Controlled 
College or University that receives financial assistance is required by 
Sec. 107(c)(1) of the Act and 25 CFR 41 to provide a report on the use 
of funds received.
    Additionally, BIE will be combining information collection OMB 
1076-0105 with this collection because both collections are elements of 
the same grant program. OMB 1076-0105 covered the reporting element of 
the grant program. Each Tribally-controlled college or university that 
receives financial assistance under the Act is required by Sec. 
107(c)(1) of the Act and 25 CFR 41 to provide a report on the use of 
funds received.
