SUMMARY: As required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, the Bureau of Indian 

Education (BIE), U.S. Department of the 

Interior (Interior) is seeking comments 

on a proposed information collection 

related to the Individuals with

related services for American Indian 

children aged 0 to 5 with disabilities on 

reservations served by elementary 

schools for Indian children that are

of the Interior (‘‘Bureau-funded 

schools’’). The BIE allocates this funding 

to tribes and tribal organizations. In 

support of this allocation, the BIE 

collects information on the number of 

American Indian children aged 0 to 5 

with disabilities on reservations served 

by Bureau-funded schools. This notice 

requests comments on that information 

collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The IDEIA, 20 U.S.C. 1411(h)(4)(c) 

and 1443(b)(3) require tribes and tribal 

organizations to submit certain 

information to the Secretary of the 

Interior. Under the IDEIA, the U.S. 

Department of Education provides 

funding to the Secretary of the Interior 

for the coordination of assistance for 

special education and related services 

for Indian children aged 0 to 5 with 

disabilities on reservations served by 

Bureau-funded schools. The Secretary of 

the Interior, through the BIE, then 

allocates this funding to tribes and tribal 

organizations based on the number of 

such children served. In order to allow 

the Secretary of the Interior to 

determine what amounts to allocate to 

whom, the IDEIA requires tribes and 

tribal organizations to submit 

information to Interior. The BIE collects 

this information on two forms, one for 

Indian children aged 3 to 5 covered by 

IDEIA Part B, and one for Indian 

children aged 0 to 2 covered by IDEIA 

Part C. 

In IDEIA Part B—Assistance for 

Education of All Children with 

Disabilities, 20 U.S.C. 1411(h)(4)(D) 

requires tribes and tribal organizations 

to use the funds to assist in child find, 

screening, and other procedures for the 

early identification of Indian children 

aged 3 through 5, parent training, and 

the provision of direct services. In 

IDEIA Part C—Infants and Toddlers 

with Disabilities, 20 U.S.C. 1443(b)(4) 

likewise requires tribes and tribal 

organizations to use the funds to assist 

in child find, screening, and other 

procedures for early identification of 

Indian children under 3 years of age and 

for parent training, and early 

intervention services. 

The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

provides an opportunity for interested 

parties to comment on proposed 

information collection requests. The BIE 

is proceeding with this public comment 

period as the first step in obtaining an 

information collection clearance from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). Each clearance request contains 

(1) type of review, (2) title, (3) summary 

of the collection, (4) respondents, (5) 

frequency of collection, (6) reporting 

and record keeping requirements. 

II. Request for Comments 

The BIE requests your comments on 

this collection concerning: (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. 

Please note that an agency may not 

sponsor or request, and an individual 

need not respond to, a collection of 

information unless it has a valid OMB 

Control Number. 

It is our policy to make all comments 

available to the public for review at the 

location listed in the ADDRESSES section. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address or other 

personally identifiable information, be 

advised that your entire comment— 

including your personally identifiable 

information—may be made public at 

any time. While you may request that 

we withhold your personally 

identifiable information, we cannot 

guarantee that we will be able to do so.
