AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of information collection; request for comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we, 
the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) are proposing to renew an 
information collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
June 15, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to Dr. Joe Herrin, Bureau of Indian Education, 1849 C 
Street NW, MS-3620-MIB, Washington, DC 20240; facsimile: (202) 208-

1076-0122 in the subject line of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Dr. Joe Herrin, phone: (202) 208-7658.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BIE; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BIE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BIE minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: 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 Bureau-
funded schools, which determines the allocation of transportation 
funds. This information is collected using a web-based system, Native 
American Student Information System (NASIS).
    Title of Collection: Student Transportation Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1076-0134.
    Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Contract and Grant schools; Bureau-
operated schools.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 183 per year, on 
average.

average.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Two hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 366 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per year.

    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).
