submit comments on or before May 2, 

2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The IEED is seeking renewal of the 

approval for the information collection 

conducted under 25 CFR part 26 to 

administer the job placement and 

training program, which provides 

vocational/technical training, related 

counseling, guidance, job placement 

services, and limited financial 

assistance to Indian individuals who are 

not less than 18 years old and who 

reside within the Department of the 

Interior (DOI) approved service areas. 

This information collection includes a 

form: BIA–8205, Application for Job 

Placement and/or Training Assistance. 

Approval for this collection expires 

March 31, 2011. 

This renewal will adjust the responses 

and burden hours that are currently 

approved to correct for a database entry 

error that occurred in the last 

submission that quadrupled the number 

of responses and burden hours. The 60- 

day notice and 30-day notice for the 

current approval reflected the current 

number of responses and burden hours, 

as does this notice. The database will be 

corrected to reflect these figures through 

a change due to adjustment in agency 

estimate. 

II. Request for Comments 

The IEED requests that you send your 

comments on this collection to the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section. 

Your comments should address: (a) The 

necessity of the information collection 

for the proper performance of the 

agencies, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden (hours and cost) of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) ways we could enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) ways we could 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the information on the respondents, 

such as through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or conduct, an individual need 

not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number. This information 

collection expires March 31, 2011. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section 

during the hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m., 

Eastern Time, Monday through Friday 

except for legal holidays. Before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Public Law 107–110, the No Child 

Left Behind (NCLB) Act of January 8, 

2001, requires all schools including BIEfunded boarding/residential schools to 

ensure that all children have a fair, 

equal, and significant opportunity to 

obtain a high-quality education and 

reach, at a minimum, proficiency on 

challenging academic achievement 

standards and assessments. The NCLB 

Act, and implementing regulations at 25 

CFR part 36, requires the BIE to 

implement national standards for homeliving 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. The BIE is seeking 

renewal of the approval for this 

information collection to ensure that 

minimum academic standards for the 

education of Indian children and 

criteria for dormitory situations in 

Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met. 

II. Request for Comments

(a) The necessity of this information 

collection for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden (hours 

and cost) of the collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Ways we could enhance the quality, 

utility and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and (d) Ways we could 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

the information on the respondents, 

such as through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. A notice 

requesting public comment on renewal 

of this information collection was 

previously published in the Federal 

Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR 

4720). No comments were received in 

response to that notice. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or conduct, and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number. This information 

collection expires March 31, 2011. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the
