    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).
