SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not
conduct or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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 especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for the collection
of information, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
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 the 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.
OMB Control Number 1076-0122
Abstract: The Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of
Indian Education (BIE), is required by the Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13),
Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (25
U.S.C. 5301), Education Amendments of 1978 (25 U.S.C. 2001), Augustus
F. Hawkins-Robert T. Stafford Elementary and Secondary School
Improvement Amendments of 1988 (20 U.S.C. 6301 et seq.), and Every
Student Succeeds Act (20 U.S.C. 6301) to provide educational services
to federally recognized Indians and Alaska Natives. In addition, 25 CFR
43, Maintenance and Control of Student Records in Bureau Schools,
contain regulations governing the maintenance, control, and
accessibility of student records.
BIE's Student Enrollment Application is utilized by schools
operated or funded by BIE. The information is collected by school
registrars to determine the student's eligibility for enrollment in a
bureau-operated 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 information is
compiled into a national database by the Bureau of Indian Education to
facilitate budget requests and the allocation of congressionally
appropriated funds.
BIE's Behavioral Health and Wellness Program (BHWP) is focused on
providing indigenous focused, evidence-based, and trauma-informed
behavioral health and wellness services/resources for students and
staff at all Bureau-funded programs, departments, and institutions
including Bureau operated schools, Tribally controlled schools, post-
secondary institutions, and Tribal colleges and universities.
Proposed Revisions
BIE proposes a referral intake form to facilitate virtual
counseling and crisis services. All data collected for the BHWP will be
utilized for establishing the appropriate level of care, assessing
client safety, ensuring services are individualized to meet the
client's specific needs, and providing clients with external referrals,
as needed.
