Title of Collection: Formula Grant 

EASIE Annual Performance Report. 

OMB Control Number: 1810–0726. 

Type of Review: A revision of a 

currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

local, and Tribal governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 1,300. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 14,300. 

Abstract: The purpose of Indian 

Education Formula Grant to Local 

Agencies, as authorized under section 

6116 of the Elementary and Secondary 

Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as 

amended by the Every Student Succeeds 

Act (ESSA) is to assist grantees to 

provide Indian students with the 

opportunity to meet the same 

challenging state standards as all other 

students and meet the unique 

educational and culturally related 

academic needs of Indian students. The 

Indian Education Formula Grant 

(Assistance Listing Number 84.060A), is 

neither competitive nor discretionary 

and requires the annual submission of 

the application from either a local 

education agency, tribe, Indian 

organization, or Indian communitybased organization. The amount of the 

award for each applicant is determined 

by a formula based on the reported 

number of Indian students identified in 

the application, the state per pupil 

expenditure, and the total appropriation 

available. The Office of Indian 

Education (OIE) of The Department of 

Education (ED) collects annual 

performance data within the same 

system that collects the annual 

application. The application and the 

annual performance report are both 

housed in the OMB MAX/Connect.gov 

Survey. Clearance was granted for the 

Electronic Application System for 

Indian Education (EASIE) Annual 

Performance Report (EASIE Part III) in 

a revised information collection by OIE. 

This is a request for revision of this 

collection. We have removed the fax 

number fields from this collection. In 

addition, we propose revisions that will 

clarify instructions and improve 

usability.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 19 / Monday, January 29, 2024 / Notices 5519 

limit their opening statements to 10 

minutes (total for one or more 

statements), and that the agencies avoid 

extended discussions about agency 

representatives and their backgrounds.

particular, responses to areas where the 

staff has recommended a finding of 

noncompliance or substantial 

compliance, or where other concerns 

have been raised that the agency would 

like to address. However, the agency

NACIQI members may focus on other 

areas.

Administration will discuss higher 

education policy priorities. 

Accreditor Dashboards Subcommittee 

Report 

The subcommittee will report on

the scope of NACIQI’s authority:

(87 FR 68144; Document Number 2022– 

24637). The period for submission of 

such statements is now closed. 

Additional written statements regarding 

a specific accrediting agency or state 

approval agency under review will not 

be accepted at this time. However, 

members of the public may submit 

written statements regarding other 

issues within the scope of NACIQI’s

accrediting agency under review and/or 

other issues within the scope of 

NACIQI’s authority. Oral comments may

comments about an agency’s recognition 

when a compliance report has been

must relate to the criteria for recognition 

cited in the SDO’s letter that requested 

the report, or in the Secretary’s appeal 

decision, if any. Oral comments about 

an agency seeking expansion of scope 

must be directed to the agency’s ability 

to serve as a recognized accrediting 

agency with respect to the kinds of 

institutions or programs requested to be 

added. Oral comments about the 

renewal of an agency’s recognition must 

relate to its compliance with the criteria 

for the Recognition of Accrediting 

Agencies, which are available at http://

comments concerning NACIQI’s work

Abstract: This is a request for a
