SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the BIE, in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, provide the general public and other 
Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, 
and continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the 
impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the 
public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
May 26, 2017, (82 FR 24384). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of the BIE; (2) will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
how might the BIE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIE minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.

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.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a

    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of currently approved 
collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Indian Tribes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 730 per year, on 
average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,344 hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: There are 65 schools 
with residential programs, of which 13 are Bureau-operated and 52 are 
Tribally-operated. Thus, the collection of information must be cleared

    Abstract: The regulations at 25 CFR 36, Subpart G, Home-living 
Programs, implement section 1122 of the Native American Education 
Improvement Act of 2001 (Pub. L. 95-561, title XI, Sec.  1120, as added 
Pub. L. 107-110, title X, Sec.  1042, Jan. 8, 2002, 115 Stat. 2007). 
These regulations require the BIE to implement national standards for 
home-living situations in all BIE-funded residential schools. The BIE 
must collect information from all BIE-funded residential schools in 
order to assess each school's progress in meeting the national 
standards. Submission of this information allows the BIE to ensure that 
minimum academic standards for the education of Indian children and 
criteria for dormitory situations in Bureau-operated schools and 
Indian-controlled contract schools are met.
    The authorities for this action are 25 U.S.C. 2000-2021 and the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
