SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
Public Law 107–110, the No Child
Left Behind (NCLB) Act of January 8,
2001, requires all schools including BIEfunded boarding/residential schools to
ensure that all children have a fair,
equal, and significant opportunity to
obtain a high-quality education and
reach, at a minimum, proficiency on
challenging academic achievement
standards and assessments. The NCLB
Act, and implementing regulations at 25
CFR part 36, requires the BIE to
implement national standards for homeliving 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. The BIE is seeking
renewal of the approval for this
information collection to ensure that
minimum academic standards for the
education of Indian children and
criteria for dormitory situations in
Bureau-operated schools and Indiancontrolled contract schools are met.
II. Request for Comments
The BIE requests your comments on
this information 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. A notice
requesting public comment on renewal
of this information collection was
previously published in the Federal
Register on January 26, 2011 (76 FR
4720). No comments were received in
response to that notice.
Please note that an agency may not
sponsor or conduct, and an individual
need not respond to, a collection of
information unless it has a valid OMB
Control Number. This information
collection expires March 31, 2011.
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
