SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.
    Title of Collection: Evaluation of the ESEA Title VI Indian 
Education LEA Grants Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1875--NEW.
    Type of Review: A new information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 434.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 295.
    Abstract: This data collection request supports a national 
evaluation of the Title VI Grants Program that will describe how 
grantees identify eligible children, and plan and implement program 
priorities with parent, community and tribal involvement; help AI/AN 
students meet state standards; align and leverage program funded 
services with other resources; and assess student outcomes. This 
information will inform the U.S. Department of Education's Office of 
Indian Education (OIE), other federal policy, budget and program staff, 
and grantees about the implementation of current practices. To gather 
consistent information that addresses questions about how Title VI 
grantees are identifying eligible children and planning and 
implementing services for them, it is necessary to collect additional 
information beyond current federal data collections (e.g., Annual 
Performance Reports and EASIE Budget Reports provided by the OIE).
