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 form 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 Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) 34 CFR part 75.118, (b) measure performance on the program in accordance with the program indicators identified in the Government Performance Result Act (GPRA), and (c) provide information annually to Congress on activities conducted under this program. The proposed changes to the existing from will improve user friendliness, clarity of data element questions, and accuracy of data reported. These revisions are not significantly different from the original collection, but are proposed to provide clarity, consistency, and usability. In order to improve the user friendliness of the form, some sections were reorganized to enhance the natural flow of data collection. data element questions were revised to improve clarity of the requests, which will result in accuracy of data being reported. On additional data element was inserted in order to ensure grantees remain compliant with regulatory requirements, but the additional data element is offset by the elimination and consolidation of other sections in this ICR. Additionally, ED had revised how it will collect survey data regarding the Training and Technical Needs of AIVRS projects and the entire section of the report is deleted to further reduces burden. The Training an Technical Needs assessment survey not be conducted independent of the ICR.

Short Statement:
This information collection includes an adjustment of hours due to a decrease in respondents and a decrease in hours due to a program change. The total number of respondents decreased from 88 respondents in the previous information collection to 86 current respondents for a total of a 22 hour reduction. Additionally, the changes to the information collection resulted in a 1.5 hour decrease in hours per response, from 11 hours to 9.5 hours per respondent, for a total of an aggregate 129 hour reduction for all 86 respondents. Therefore, between the 22 hour reduction resulting from two less respondents and the 129 hour decrease from the program change, the total burden hours reduced is 151 hours. The program change was due to the clarity and consistency of language, which resulted in more streamlined instructions, as well as removing data elements that are no longer needed in the information collection.
