accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the

including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered

    Abstract: The Indian Education Formula Grant (CFDA 84.060A)

is determined by formula, based upon the reported number of American

the Office of Indian Education (OIE) is able to apply electronic tools 
to facilitate the review and analysis leading to grant awards. The 
system has been named Formula Grant Electronic Application System for 
Indian Education (EASIE), and is located in the EDFacts System (ESS)
