Abstract:
The Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) of the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) will use this data collection form to capture the performance data from grantees funded under the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services (AIVRS) program (CFDA # 84.250). RSA and ED will use the information gathered annually to: (a) comply with reporting requirements under the Education Department General Administration Regulations (EDGAR) 34 CFR part 75.118, (b) provide information annually to Congress on activities conducted under this program, and (c) measure performance on the program in accordance with the program indicators identified in the Government Performance Result Act (GPRA). The proposed changes to the existing form will improve user friendliness, clarity of data questions, and accuracy of data reported. Since the ED no longer collects data regarding common measures, the entire section of the report that collects this data is deleted, further reducing burden. These revisions are not significantly different from the original collection, but are proposed to provide clarity, consistency, and usability. In many areas, the data element language has been modified with direct language instead of passive terminology.

Short Statement:
This information collection includes a program change decrease of 1.5 burden hours per respondent from 1,062.5 hours for 85 AIVRS grantees to 968 hours for 88 AIVRS grantees. The burden hour reduction is due to in many cases revising data fields for clarification with direct language and the elimination of the section that requested data regarding “Job Training Common Measures” since the Department no longer requires the collection of such data. We estimate with these adjustments the number of hours per response will decrease from 12.5 to 11. There is an adjustment increase as the number of grantees has increased from the previous collection submittal by 3.5%. In the previous collection, there were 85 grantees responding, but currently there are 88 grantees reporting. Even with this increase, there is a significant decrease in total burden hours. The estimated number of proposed responses multiplied by the response burden hours follows: Responses: 88 Burden Hours: 11 Difference in Current OMB inventory: 1.5 burden hours
