Abstract: The BIE is requesting early 

renewal of OMB approval for the 

admission forms for Haskell and SIPI. 

These admission forms are used in 

determining program eligibility of 

American Indian and Alaska Native 

students for educational services. These 

forms are utilized pursuant to the Blood 

Quantum Act, Public Law 99–228; the 

Snyder Act, Chapter 115, Public Law 

67–85; and, the Indian Appropriations 

of the 48th Congress, Chapter 180, page 

91, For Support of Schools, July 4, 1884. 

The application was revised following 

input from students on the form. 

Haskell reduced the length of the 

application form to a page and a half. 

SIPI’s application did not change. 

Submission of these eligibility 

application forms is mandatory in 

determining a student’s eligibility for 

educational services. The information is 

collected on two forms: Application for 

Admission to Haskell form and SIPI 

form. 

Title of Collection: Application for 

Admission to Haskell Indian Nations 

University and to Southwestern Indian 

Polytechnic Institute. 

OMB Control Number: 1076–0114. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Early revision of 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: 

Students. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 4,000 per year, on average. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 4,000 per year, on average. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 30 minutes per Haskell 

application; 30 minutes per SIPI 

application. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,750 hours. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Response is 

required to obtain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: Once per 

year for Haskell; each trimester for SIPI. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $10,000. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs and 

Collaborative Action—Indian Affairs.

The Commission invites members of 

the public with an interest in the matter

the reports that the Commission has 

been asked to prepare. For the second 

report (Global Digital Trade 2: The

that the Commission, based on available 

information, including a survey of U.S. 

firms in selected industries particularly 

involved in digital trade: 

• Provide qualitative, and to the 

extent possible, quantitative analysis of 

measures in key foreign markets 

(identified in the first report) that affect 

the ability of U.S. firms to develop and/ 

or supply business-to-business digital

competitiveness of U.S. firms engaged

services, as well as on international 

trade and investment flows associated 

with digital products and services 

related to significant business-tobusiness technologies. 

The Commission expects to deliver

Market, Key Foreign Trade Restrictions,

5:15 p.m. on April 6, 2018. Written

August 15, 2018. All written 

submissions must conform with the 

provisions of section 201.8 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). Section 201.8 

and the Commission’s Handbook on 

Filing Procedures require that interested 

parties file documents electronically on 

or before the filing deadline and submit 

eight (8) true paper copies by 12:00 p.m. 

eastern time on the next business day. 

In the event that confidential treatment 

of a document is requested, interested 

parties must file, at the same time as the 

eight paper copies, at least four (4) 

additional true paper copies in which 

the confidential information must be 

deleted (see the following paragraphs 

for further information regarding 

confidential business information or 

‘‘CBI’’). Persons with questions 

regarding electronic filing should 

contact the Office of the Secretary, 

Docket Services Division (202–205–

Confidential Business Information: 

Any submissions that contain CBI must 

also conform to the requirements of 

section 201.6 of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

201.6). Section 201.6 of the rules 

requires that the cover of the document 

and the individual pages be clearly 

marked as to whether they are the 

‘‘confidential’’ or ‘‘non-confidential’’ 

version, and that CBI is clearly 

identified by means of brackets. All 

written submissions, except for those 

containing CBI, will be made available 

for inspection by interested parties. 

All information, including CBI, 

submitted in these two investigations 

may be disclosed to and used: (i) By the 

Commission, its employees and Offices, 

and contract personnel (a) for 

developing or maintaining the records 

of this or a related proceeding, or (b) in 

internal investigations, audits, reviews, 

and evaluations relating to the 

programs, personnel, and operations of 

the Commission including under 5 

U.S.C. Appendix 3; or (ii) by U.S. 

government employees and contract 

personnel (a) for cybersecurity purposes 

or (b) in monitoring user activity on U.S. 

government classified networks. The 

Commission will not otherwise disclose 

any CBI in a manner that would reveal 

the operations of the firm supplying the 

information. 

Reports To Be Classified and 

Privileged: In his request letter, the 

USTR said that, in accordance with 

USTR policy on implementing 

Executive Order 13526, as amended, he 

was directing the Commission to mark 

or identify as ‘‘Confidential,’’ for a 

period of ten years, such portions of the 

Commission’s second and third reports 

and related working papers that contain 

the Commission’s analysis of the impact 

of barriers to digital trade on (1) U.S. 

imports and exports of digital products 

and services and (2) the competitiveness 

of U.S. companies. The USTR also 

indicated that he intends to treat the 

Commission’s second and third reports 

as interagency memoranda containing 

predecisional advice subject to the 

deliberative process privilege. 

Summaries of Written Submissions: 

The Commission intends to include 

summaries of the written submissions 

filed by interested persons in the second 

and third reports. Persons wishing to 

have a summary of their submission 

included in the reports should include 

a summary with their written 

submission. The summary may not 

exceed 500 words, should be in 

MSWord format or a format that can be 

easily converted to MSWord, and 

should not include any CBI. The 

summary will be included in the reports 

as provided if it meets requirements and 

is germane to the subject matter of the 

investigation. The Commission will 

identify the name of the organization 

furnishing the summary and will 

include a link to the Commission’s 

Electronic Document Information 

System (EDIS) where the full written 

submission can be found.
