A brief description of each of the 

topics is provided below. Further 

information is available at: http:// 

www.indianaffairs.gov/WhoWeAre/AS– 

IA/Consultation/index.htm. 

The Administrative Organizational 

Assessment Draft Report—The AS–IA is 

seeking input on the results of the 

Administrative Organizational 

Assessment Draft Report. The 

Assessment was conducted by an 

impartial third-party contractor, the 

Bronner Group, LLC, to evaluate the 

administrative support structures for 

BIA and BIE. The Draft Report includes 

a number of recommendations in the 

following functional areas: budget and 

financial management; acquisition and 

contract management; property 

management and building maintenance; 

human resources; safety management; 

and communications. More information 

on the Draft Report is available at: 

http://www.indianaffairs.gov/ 

WhoWeAre/AS–IA/Consultation/ 

index.htm. 

The BIA Streamlining Plan—The BIA 

is seeking tribal input on ways to 

streamline its organization to meet 

budgetary constraints and increase 

efficiency in the delivery of services to 

tribes and Indian beneficiaries. The BIA 

is particularly interested in tribes’ 

perspectives on consolidation of agency 

or field offices with minimal staffing 

and/or services, and consolidation of 

regional office programs or services 

where efficiencies may be achieved. 

The BIE Streamlining Plan—The BIE 

is seeking tribal input on ways to 

streamline its organization to meet 

imminent budgetary constraints and to 

improve the quality of education 

provided to students served by BIEfunded schools. 

The Johnson-O’Malley Student Count 

Update—The BIE is seeking tribal input 

on updating its count of students 

eligible for Johnson-O’Malley Program 

funding. As part of the Fiscal Year 2012 

appropriations, Congress directed the 

BIE, in consultation with tribes and the 

U.S. Department of Education, to update 

its count of students eligible for the 

Johnson-O’Malley Program funding, and 

to report the results to Congress. 

The Draft SF–424B Assurance 

Statement—Non-Construction 

Programs—The BIE is seeking tribal 

input on revision of provisions of the 

SF–424B Assurance Statement for 

Public Law 100–297 Tribally Controlled 

Grant Schools. The assurance statement 

accompanies the transfer of funds from 

the BIE to tribally controlled grant 

schools. The BIE is particularly 

interested in tribes’ perspectives on 

adding the following to the assurance 

statement: ‘‘Will comply with all 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements of the Elementary and 

Secondary Education Act (ESEA), also 

known as the No Child Left Behind 

(NCLB) Act of 2001, and Individuals 

with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).’’
