SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction

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.
    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 BIA; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BIA enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIA 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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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 
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.

Bureau-funded Schools.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0122.
    Form Number: None.
