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. Title of Collection: Homeliving Programs and School Closure and Consolidation. OMB Control Number: 1076-0164. Form Number: None. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Indian Tribes. 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 for 52 of the 65 residential schools. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 730 per year, on average. Estimated Completion Time per Response: Ranges from 1 minute to 40 hours, depending on the activity. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,344 hours. Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit. Frequency of Collection: Annual or on occasion, depending on the activity. [[Page 53291]] 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.). Elizabeth K. Appel, Director, Office of Regulatory Affairs and Collaborative Action--Indian Affairs.
