I. Abstract

    The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB approval for the Student 
Transportation Form. The Student Transportation regulations in 25 CFR 
part 39, subpart G, contain the program eligibility and criteria that 
govern the allocation of transportation funds. Information collected 
from the schools will be used to determine the rate per mile. The 
information collection provides transportation mileage for Bureau-
funded schools, which determines the allocation of transportation 
funds. This information is collected using a Web-

based system, Office of Indian Education Programs (OIEP) MultiWeb 
Intranet/WebET Intranet. Response is required to obtain a benefit.

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

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.
    Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an 
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays 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, email address or other personal
