Services, Office of Management, invites
comments on the proposed information
collection requests as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: An emergency review has been
requested in accordance with the Act
(44 U.S.C. Chapter 3507(j)), since public
harm is reasonably likely to result if
normal clearance procedures are
followed. Approval by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has
been requested by July 15, 2010. A
regular clearance process is also
beginning. Interested persons are
invited to submit comments on or before
August 23, 2010.

Section
3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35) requires
that the Director of OMB provide
interested Federal agencies and the
public an early opportunity to comment
on information collection requests. The
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) may amend or waive the
requirement for public consultation to
the extent that public participation in
the approval process would defeat the
purpose of the information collection,
violate State or Federal law, or
substantially interfere with any agency’s
ability to perform its statutory
obligations. The Information Collection
Clearance Division, Regulatory
Information Management Services,
Office of Management, publishes this
notice containing proposed information
collection requests at the beginning of
the Departmental review of the
information collection. Each proposed
information collection, grouped by
office, contains the following: (1) Type
of review requested, e.g., new, revision,
extension, existing or reinstatement; (2)
Title; (3) Summary of the collection; (4)
Description of the need for, and
proposed use of, the information; (5)
Respondents and frequency of
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or
Recordkeeping burden. ED invites
public comment.
The Department of Education is
especially interested in public comment
addressing the following issues: (1) Is
this collection necessary to the proper
functions of the Department; (2) will
this information be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate
of burden accurate; (4) how might the
Department enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (5) how might the
Department minimize the burden of this
collection on respondents, including
through the use of information
technology.

Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of
1973, as amended, authorizes the
commissioner to reallot to other grant
recipients that portion of a recipient’s
annual grant that cannot be used. To
maximize the use of appropriated funds
under the formula grant programs, The
Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services has established a
reallotment process for the Basic
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants;
Supported Employment State Grants;
Independent Living State Grants, Part B
(IL–Part B); Independent Living Services
for Older Individuals Who Are Blind
(IL–OB); Client Assistance (CAP) and
Protection and Advocacy of Individual
Rights (PAIR) Programs. The authority
for the Rehabilitation Services
Administration to reallot formula grant
funds is found at sections 110(b)(2)
(VR), 622(b) (SE), 711(c) (IL–Part B),
752(j)(4) (IL–OB), 112(e)(2) (CAP), and
509(e) (PAIR) of the act. The
information will be used by the
Rehabilitation Services Administration
State Monitoring and Program
Improvement Division to reallot formula
grant funds for the awards mentioned
above. Currently, the information is
collected through the issuance of an
annual Information Memorandum. For
each grant award, the grantee will be
required to enter the amount of funds
being relinquished and/or any
additional funds being requested.
Additional Information: The
Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA), within the U.S. Department of
Education’s (ED) Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services
(OSERS), has developed an online
submission process for formula grant
recipients to indicate the amount of
funds they wish to relinquish during the
reallotment process and/or the amount
of funds they wish to request during this
process. In previous years, this
reallotment process was initiated
through an Information Memorandum
that RSA issued asking grantees to
indicate the amount of funds being
relinquished and/or requested. The
reallotment process is based upon both
statute and regulation and allows funds
unused by some grantees receiving
funds under the Rehabilitation Act of
E:\FR\FM\23JNN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 120 / Wednesday, June 23, 2010 / Notices
1973, as amended, to be used by other
grantees, thus eliminating the reversion
of Federal funds to the U.S. Treasury.
Grantees in six of RSA’s formula grant
programs are subject to a reallotment
process. These programs include the
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants,
the Supported Employment State
Grants, the Independent Living Part B,
the Independent Living for Older
Individuals Who Are Blind, the Client
Assistance, and the Protection and
Advocacy of Individual Rights
programs. Specifically, for the
Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants
Program, RSA’s largest formula grant
program, 34 CFR 361.65(b) requires that:
(1) ‘‘The Secretary determines no later
than 45 days before the end of the fiscal
year which States, if any, will not use
their full allotment. (2) As soon as
possible, but not later than the end of
the fiscal year, the Secretary reallots
these funds to other States that can use
those additional funds during the
current or subsequent year, provided the
State can meet the matching
requirement by obligating the nonFederal share of any realloted funds in
the fiscal year for which the funds were
appropriated.’’
ED is requesting that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) clear
the application on an emergency basis
because many States are experiencing
challenging economic circumstances.
We anticipate that they may not be able
to match funds received under the
Rehabilitation Act and that the
reallotment process will be more critical
this year than in years past. The online
process we have developed is less
burdensome to grantees, since the
electronic system automatically
generates much of the information that
is required in the reallotment process.
As stated in the aforementioned
citation, this reallotment process is
required by regulation to be completed
before September 30 of this year in
order for States to obligate the reallotted
funds and meet the matching
requirements. Therefore, ED is
requesting OMB approval of this online
process by July 15, 2010. This timeframe
will allow us sufficient time to: (1)
Notify States about the new system for
online submission of grant
relinquishments or requests; (2) receive
all necessary information from the State
agencies by August 15, which meets the
minimum 45 day requirement in 34 CFR
361.65(b)(1); and (3) to process the
requests received no later than
September 30, 2010, per 34 CFR
361.65(b)(2).

Division to reallot formula grant funds for the awards mentioned above.
Currently, the information is collected through the issuance of an
annual Information Memorandum. For each grant award, the grantee will
be required to enter the amount of funds being relinquished and/or any
additional funds being requested.
Additional Information: The Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA), within the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) Office of Special
Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), has developed an online
submission process for formula grant recipients to indicate the amount
of funds they wish to relinquish during the reallotment process and/or
the amount of funds they wish to request during this process. In
previous years, this reallotment process was initiated through an
Information Memorandum that RSA issued asking grantees to indicate the
amount of funds being relinquished and/or requested. The reallotment
process is based upon both statute and regulation and allows funds
unused by some grantees receiving funds under the Rehabilitation Act of
[[Page 35774]]
1973, as amended, to be used by other grantees, thus eliminating the
reversion of Federal funds to the U.S. Treasury.
Grantees in six of RSA's formula grant programs are subject to a
reallotment process. These programs include the Vocational
Rehabilitation State Grants, the Supported Employment State Grants, the
Independent Living Part B, the Independent Living for Older Individuals
Who Are Blind, the Client Assistance, and the Protection and Advocacy
of Individual Rights programs. Specifically, for the Vocational
Rehabilitation State Grants Program, RSA's largest formula grant
program, 34 CFR 361.65(b) requires that: (1) ``The Secretary determines
no later than 45 days before the end of the fiscal year which States,
if any, will not use their full allotment. (2) As soon as possible, but
not later than the end of the fiscal year, the Secretary reallots these
funds to other States that can use those additional funds during the
current or subsequent year, provided the State can meet the matching
requirement by obligating the non-Federal share of any realloted funds
in the fiscal year for which the funds were appropriated.''
ED is requesting that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
clear the application on an emergency basis because many States are
experiencing challenging economic circumstances. We anticipate that
they may not be able to match funds received under the Rehabilitation
Act and that the reallotment process will be more critical this year
than in years past. The online process we have developed is less
burdensome to grantees, since the electronic system automatically
generates much of the information that is required in the reallotment
process.
As stated in the aforementioned citation, this reallotment process
is required by regulation to be completed before September 30 of this
year in order for States to obligate the reallotted funds and meet the
matching requirements. Therefore, ED is requesting OMB approval of this
online process by July 15, 2010. This timeframe will allow us
sufficient time to: (1) Notify States about the new system for online
submission of grant relinquishments or requests; (2) receive all
necessary information from the State agencies by August 15, which meets
the minimum 45 day requirement in 34 CFR 361.65(b)(1); and (3) to
process the requests received no later than September 30, 2010, per 34
