SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    The IDEIA, 20 U.S.C. 1411(h)(4)(c) and 1443(b)(3) require Tribes 
and Tribal organizations to submit certain information to the Secretary 
of the Interior. Under the IDEIA, the U.S. Department of Education 
provides funding to the Secretary of the Interior for the coordination 
of assistance for special education and related services for Indian 
children from birth through age 5 with disabilities on reservations 
served by Bureau-funded schools. The Secretary of the Interior, through 
the BIE, then allocates this funding to Tribes and Tribal organizations 
based on the number of such children served. In order to allow the 
Secretary of the Interior to determine what amounts to allocate to 
whom, the IDEIA requires Tribes and Tribal organizations to submit 
information to Interior. The BIE collects this information on two 
forms, one for Indian children aged 3 through 5 covered by IDEIA Part 
B, and one for Indian children from birth to age 2 covered by IDEIA 
Part C.
    In IDEIA Part B--Assistance for Education of All Children with 
Disabilities, 20 U.S.C. 1411(h)(4)(D) Tribes and Tribal organizations 
are required to use the funds to assist in child find, screening, and 
other procedures for the early identification of Indian children aged 3 
through 5, parent training, and the provision of direct services. IDEIA 
Part C--Infants and Toddlers with Disabilities, 20 U.S.C. 1443(b)(4) 
likewise requires Tribes and Tribal organizations to use the fund to 
assist in child find, screening, and other procedures for early 
identification of Indian children under 3 years of age and for parent 
training and early intervention services.

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 
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
