Abstract: The data collection under this revision and renewal request is governed by the"Additional Requirements" section of the Personnel Preparation to Improve Services and Results for Children with Disabilities--Combined Priority for Personnel Preparation and Preparation of Leadership Personnel notice, published in the Federal Register on March 25, 2005 and by Sections 304.23-304.30 of the June 5, 2006, regulations that implement Section 662 (h) of the IDEA Amendments of 2004, which require that individuals who receive a scholarship through the Personnel Development Program funded under the Act subsequently provide special education and related services to children with disabilities for a period of two years for every year for which assistance was received. Scholarship recipients who do not satisfy the requirements of the regulations must repay all or part of the cost of assistance, in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary. These regulations implement requirements governing, among other things, the service obligation for scholars, reporting requirements by grantees, and repayment of scholarships by scholars. In order for the federal government to ensure that the goals of the program are achieved, certain data collection, recordkeeping, and documentation are necessary. In addition this data collection is governed by the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA). GPRA requires Federal agencies to establish performance measures for all programs, and the Office of Special Education Programs' (OSEP) has established performance measures for the Personnel Development Program. Data collection from scholars who have received scholarships under the Personnel Development Program is necessary to evaluate these measures.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Cutting Redundancy

Short Statement: There is a program change decrease; this request is for an updated data collection as a result of combining two existing data collections. The proposed burden estimate reflects a reduction in overall burden for all respondents. For the grantees, the burden is reduced because any duplicated data collection efforts are eliminated, and grantees must enter data into only one system. The burden estimate for the scholars/obligees and employers is also lower. We believe the numbers provided in this report reflect a more accurate estimate than the current 1820-0686, as we have utilized existing data in our calculations. By merging the data collection systems and combining the two existing data collections, OSEP has reduced the maximum, total burden hours by 17,759 hours.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $1,060,289
