BIE Renewal of Information Collection for Johnson-O'Malley Act Education Contracts
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), acting under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an existing information collection related to education contracts established under the Johnson-O'Malley (JOM) Act. This renewal involves no substantive changes to the current data collection requirements. The Johnson-O'Malley Act authorizes the federal government to contract with states, territories, tribal organizations, and other entities to provide educational services—including supplemental programs—for eligible Native American students. The information collection supports oversight and administration of these contracts. This notice is a routine administrative action required by law whenever a federal agency seeks to continue collecting information from the public. Stakeholders, including tribal organizations and school districts participating in JOM programs, may be asked to submit or renew information as part of ongoing contract administration. The public has an opportunity to comment on the proposed renewal, particularly regarding the necessity, accuracy, and burden of the information collection, before OMB makes a final determination on approval.
