Total Estimated Burdens: 270 hours.
The previous estimation of 585
annual burden hours has been reduced
to 270. This change is based on the
average number of Plans submitted
between Calendar Years 2017, 2018 and

The national average PHA staff salary
= $51,000 1 per year or $24.00 per hour.
The calculation for costs is as follows:
18 PHAs × 15 hours = 270 hours × $24 2
= $6,480.

developments and moving out of the

public and other Federal agencies with
an opportunity to comment on new,
proposed, revised, and continuing
collections of information. This helps us
assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on October
23, 2020 (85 FR 67561). No comments
were received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again soliciting
comments from the public and other
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR
that is described below. We are
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper

information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

Abstract: The mission of the USGS
National Geospatial Program (NGP) is to
organize, maintain, publish, and
disseminate the geospatial baseline of
the Nation’s topography, natural
landscape, and built environment
through The National Map, a set of basic
geospatial information provided as a
variety of products and services.
Through Office of Management and
Budget Circular A–16, the Federal
Government assigns leadership
responsibilities for themes of geospatial
data among Federal agencies. Based in
part on this assignment, and because of
the unique niche of the Program to
provide national coverage of
topographic data, the primary focus of
the program is to provide national
leadership in The National Map themes
of hydrography and elevation. The role
of the other six layers of The National
Map is generally to provide contextual
or reference information to its
cartographic products and services. The
objective of the Program for these layers
is to maintain current coverage by
obtaining the data from other
organizations and suppliers with a
minimum investment of Program
resources.
The National Map Corps (TNMCorps)
is the name of the NGP project that
encourages citizen participation in
volunteer map data collection activities.
TNMCorps uses crowdsourcing—new
technologies and internet services to
georeference structure points and share
this information with others on mapbased internet platforms—to produce
volunteered geographic information
(VGI). People participating in the crowd
sourcing are considered part of
TNMCorps.
In general, the National Structures
Dataset (NSD) has been populated with
the best available national data. This
data has been exposed for initial
improvement by TNMCorps volunteers
via the online Map Editor (the
instrument). In addition, the data goes
through a tiered-editing process, which
includes Peer Review and Advanced
Editors. At each stage the data is passed
through an automatic ‘‘magic filter’’ to
look for data issues before being

submitted into the NSD. In addition,
data goes through sampling for quality
assurance procedures.
Data within the NSD is available at no
cost via The National Map and US Topo
to the USGS and the public.
Data quality studies in 2012, 2014,
and 2018 showed that the volunteers’
actions were accurate and exceeded
USGS quality standards. Volunteercollected data showed an improvement
in both location and attribute accuracy
for existing data points. Completeness,
or the extent to which all appropriate
features were identified and recorded,
was also improved.
Title of Collection: The National Map
Corps—Volunteered Geographic
Information Project.
OMB Control Number: 1028–0111.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: general
public.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1,000.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 101,000.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 12 minutes on average.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 21,000.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Frequency of Collection: Varies by
volunteer; volunteers are not obligated
to collect any specific amount of data.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: There are no ‘‘no-hour
cost’’ burdens associated with this IC.
An agency may not conduct, or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

The Bureau of Indian
Education (BIE) is seeking Tribal and
public input on draft policies regarding
progress and promotion and certificate
of completion. The purpose of these two
policies is to make certain that student
promotion is based on the meeting of
minimum standards, with high school
graduation marking the culmination of a
student’s K–12 education, in recognition
of all the learning that occurred during
that journey.
DATES: A Tribal consultation session
will be held from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Eastern Time (ET) on May 11, 2021, the
public meeting will be held from 2 p.m.
to 3 p.m. ET on May 11, 2021. Written
comments must be received by 11:59
p.m. ET, May 21, 2021.
ADDRESSES: To join the teleconference,

Written comments may be emailed to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BIE is
seeking Tribal and public stakeholder
input on draft policies regarding
progress and promotion and certificate
of completion, available at: https://
www.bie.edu/topic-page/specialeducation under ‘‘Part 33 Draft Policy
Certificate of Completion’’ and ‘‘Part 33
Draft Policy Student Progress/
Promotion.’’
The purpose of these two policies is
to make certain that student promotion
is based on the meeting of minimum
standards, with high school graduation
marking the culmination of a student’s
K–12 education, in recognition of all the
learning that occurred during that
journey. The conference of a diploma
serves as a foundation for the next phase
of a young person’s life, further
education and career. Nevertheless, the
BIE understands that in some instances
students with the most significant
cognitive disabilities may not be able to
meet the requirements of a standard
high school diploma. In such instances,
the BIE desires to give students access
to a certificate of completion. The BIE
encourages schools/districts to support
students with disabilities in seeking and
obtaining a standard high school
diploma whenever possible. However,
the BIE recognizes that for some
students with the most significant
cognitive disabilities a certificate of
completion may be appropriate.
BIE welcomes input from Tribes,
families of students at BIE schools and
other stakeholders. Please see the
