to tribes and tribal organizations. In

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 aged 0 to 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 to 5 covered by
IDEIA Part B, and one for Indian
children aged 0 to 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)
requires tribes and tribal organizations
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. In
IDEIA Part C—Infants and Toddlers
with Disabilities, 20 U.S.C. 1443(b)(4)
likewise requires tribes and tribal
organizations to use the funds 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.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
provides an opportunity for interested
parties to comment on proposed
information collection requests. The BIE
is proceeding with this public comment
period as the first step in obtaining an
information collection clearance from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Each clearance request contains
(1) type of review, (2) title, (3) summary
of the collection, (4) respondents, (5)
frequency of collection, (6) reporting
and record keeping requirements.
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,
such as through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or request, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has 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, e-mail address or other
personally identifiable information, be
advised that your entire comment—

information—may be made public at
any time. While you may request that
we withhold your personally
identifiable information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
