SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The BIE is requesting 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 Synder 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.

II. Request for Comments

    On April 23, 2015, the BIA published a notice announcing the 
renewal of this information collection and provided a 60-day comment 
period in the Federal Register (80 FR 22739). There were no comments 
received in response to this notice.
    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.
    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 
identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your 
entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be 
made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your 
comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public 
review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
