    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
April 16, 2018 (83 FR 16380). No comments were received.
    We are 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: The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB approval for the 
Student Transportation Form. The Student Transportation regulations in 
25 CFR part 39, subpart G, contain the program eligibility and criteria 
that govern the allocation of transportation funds. Information 
collected from the schools will be used to determine the rate per mile. 
The information collection provides transportation mileage for Bureau-
funded schools, which determines the allocation of transportation 
funds. This information is collected using a web-based system, Web 
Education Transportation (Web ET).
    Title of Collection: Student Transportation Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0134.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Contract and Grant schools; Bureau-
operated schools.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 183 per year, on 
average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 183 per year, on 
average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Two hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 366 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per year.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
