The RSA-2 captures: administrative expenditures for the VR and SE programs; VR program service expenditures by category; SE administrative expenditures and service expenditures; expenditures for the VR program by number of individuals served; the costs of types of services provided; and a breakdown of staff of the VR agencies.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion:
Yes
Burden Reduction Due to:
Cutting Redundancy
Short Statement:
There is a program change burden reduction of -65 annual burden hours. Four of the revisions to the RSA-2 will decrease the overall burden on state VR agencies. The first two of these revisions are the removal of two schedules or sections of the form. These sections were found to be redundant with other fiscal data collection forms. The third revision is the change in the method of calculating expenses by eliminating the need to include unliquidated obligations. The fourth revision is to remove data elements that RSA could calculate based upon other information provided by the agency in the form (subtotals and totals).
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
