SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract
These collections help support the
educational efforts for American Indian
and Alaska Native students from
elementary through post-secondary
levels. The collections help fulfill the
trust responsibility of the Secretary of
the Department of the Interior and the
Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs, as
delegated under 25 U.S.C. 2 and 9, and
209 DM 8.
Application for Admission to Haskell &
SIPI
The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB
approval for the admission forms for
Haskell and SIPI. These admission
forms are used in determining program
eligibility of American Indian and
Alaska Native students for educational
services. These forms are utilized
pursuant to the Blood Quantum Act,
Public Law 99–228; the Snyder Act,
Chapter 115, Public Law 67–85; and, the
Indian Appropriations of the 48th
Congress, Chapter 180, page 91, For
Support of Schools, July 4, 1884.
Student Transportation Form
The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB
approval for the Student Transportation
Form. The Student Transportation
regulations in 25 CFR part 39, subpart
G, contain the program eligibility and
criteria that govern the allocation of
transportation funds. Information
collected from the schools will be used
to determine the rate per mile. The
information collection provides
transportation mileage for Bureaufunded schools, which determines the
allocation of transportation funds.
Data Elements for Student Enrollment
in Bureau-funded Schools
The BIE is requesting renewal of OMB
approval 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 Bureaufunded 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.
