*Abstract:* The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB approval for the admission forms for the Student Enrollment Application in Bureau-funded Schools. School registrars collect information on this form to determine the student's eligibility for enrollment in a Bureau-funded school, and if eligible, is shared with appropriate school officials to identify the student's base and supplemental educational and/or residential program needs. The BIE compiles the information into a national database to facilitate budget requests and the allocation of congressionally appropriated funds.

*Title of Collection:* Data Elements for Student Enrollment in Bureau-funded Schools.

*OMB Control Number:* 1076-0122.

*Form Number:* None.

*Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection.

*Respondents/Affected Public:* Contract and Grant schools, and Bureau-funded schools.

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:* 48,000 per year, on average.

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 48,000 per year, on average.

*Estimated Completion Time per Response:* 15 minutes.

*Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 12,000 hours.

*Respondent's Obligation:* Required to Obtain a Benefit.

*Frequency of Collection:* Once per year.

*Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost:* $0.

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*).
