March 31, 2010.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before
February 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The IEED is seeking renewal of the approval for the information
collection conducted under 25 CFR part 26 to administer the job
placement and training program, which provides vocational/technical
training, related counseling, guidance, job placement services, and
limited financial assistance to Indian individuals who are not less
than 18 years old and who reside within the Department of the Interior
(DOI) approved service areas. This information collection includes a
form: BIA-8205, Application for Job Placement and/or Training
Assistance. Approval for this collection expires March 31, 2010.
This renewal will adjust the responses and burden hours that are
currently approved to correct for a database entry error that occurred
in the last submission that quadrupled the number of responses and
burden hours. The 60-day notice and 30-day notice for the current
approval reflected the current number of responses and burden hours, as
does this notice. The database will be corrected to reflect these
figures through a change due to adjustment in agency estimate.
II. Request for Comments
The IEED requests that you send your comments on this collection to
the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Your comments should
address: (a) The necessity of the information collection for the proper
performance of the agencies, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of our 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.
Please note that an agency may not sponsor or conduct, an
individual need not respond to, a collection of information unless it
has a valid OMB Control Number. This information collection expires
March 31, 2010.
It is our policy to make all comments available to the public for
review at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section during the hours
of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday except for
legal holidays. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail
address or other personally identifiable information, be advised that
your entire comment--including your personally identifiable
information--may be made public at any time. While you may request that
we withhold your personally identifiable information, we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
