These forms are used to collect information to determine eligibility of respondent for admission to post secondary education administered by the Bureau of Indian Education.
There was an increase in responses because we had not been aware of the number of applications processed except for actual entry of student. There are more applicants than students because many choose not to complete the process. However, the time for submitting an application at SIPI decreased by 10 minutes which made a slight reduction in burden hours. This was not a result of a change in the programs, but of additional information. Additionally, while #13 of the justification goes into student costs aside from enrollment, we are showing only the $10 per student enrollment fee. If we showed total fees, an additional $815,075.00 would be added.
