how might the BIE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the

burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.

should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal

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.
    Abstract: The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB approval for the 
admission forms for the Student Enrollment Application in Bureau-funded 
Schools. School registrars collect information on this form to 
determine the student's eligibility for enrollment in a Bureau-funded 
school, and if eligible, is shared with appropriate school officials to 
identify the student's base and supplemental educational and/or 
residential program needs. The BIE compiles the information into a 
national database to facilitate budget requests and the allocation of 
congressionally appropriated funds.
    Title of Collection: Data Elements for Student Enrollment in 
Bureau-funded Schools.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0122.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Bureau funded Contract and Grant 
schools.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 48,000 per year, on 
average.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 48,000 per year, on 
average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 15 minutes.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,000 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per year.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
