The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) provides that the Secretary of the Interior will allocate funding for the coordination of assistance for special education and related services for American Indian children aged 0 to 5 with disabilities on reservations served by elementary schools for Indian children that are operated or funded by the Department of the Interior (Bureau-funded schools). The Bureau of Indian Education allocates this funding to tribes and tribal organizations. In support of this allocation, the Bureau collects information on the number of American Inidan children aged 0 to 5 with disabilities on reservations served by Bureau-funded schools.

While the requirement for Interior to collect this information has been in place for several years, Interior is only now developing its own forms (independent of those developed by the U.S. Department of Education under OMB Control Number 1820-0557). Interior determined that it was necessary to develop its own form because much of the information on the U.S. Department of Education form is superfluous to Interior's purposes. Also, since IDEIA specifically assigns to Interior the task of collecting this information from tribes and tribal organizations, Interior determined that OMB approval specific to this information collection is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.
