18, 2021 (86 FR 57686). We received
one comment in response to that notice.
Comment 1: The respondent
supported the information collection,
stating in their opinion that the
information collection is necessary to
determine the allocation of
transportation funds and meet the
transportation needs of American Indian
students in the state of Wisconsin; and
helpful for American Indian students
served by Bureau-funded schools.
Agency Response to Comment 1: The
Bureau greatly appreciates the support
of our partners who both use the ISEP
transportation program as well as other
external partners in support of our data
collection practices to most efficiently
distribute the funds appropriated by
Congress under the ISEP Transportation
program. We are continuously working
to improve our processes and are
currently in the process of updating our
WebET system and administration of
the system so that as a Bureau we
continue working to fulfill the goals of
the GPEA.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

ET).
