SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The information collection is needed to collect transportation
mileage for Bureau funded schools for the purpose of allocating
transportation funds. A request for comments on this information
collection was published in the Federal Register on November 7, 1997
(62 FR 60255). No comments were received by the Bureau. After a review
of the Burden of Hours, decision was made to change the Annual burden
of hours from 158 to 696 and the 1.5 hours of completion time to fill
the form was changed to 6 hours. This is not an actual increase in
burden because it reflects a more accurate description of the number of
buses and also the increasing number of tribes contracting for the
school operation.
II. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on (a) Whether the collection of information
is necessary 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 to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of the information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
The Office of Management and Budget has up to 60 days to approve or
disapprove the information collection but may respond after 30 days;
therefore, comments submitted in response to this notice should be
submitted to OMB within 30 days in order to assure their maximum
consideration.
