Affected Public: Federal Government;
Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local,
or Tribal Government, State Educational
Agencies or Local Educational Agencies.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 33.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 891.
Abstract: Title III of the Assistive
Technology Act of 1998 as in effect
prior to the amendments of 2004 (Pub.
L. 105–394) (AT Act of 1998) authorized
grants to public agencies to support the
establishment and maintenance of
alternative financing programs (AFPs)
that feature one or more alternative
financing mechanisms to enable
individuals with disabilities and their
family members, guardians, advocates,
and authorized representatives to
purchase assistive technology (AT).
Section 307 of title III requires that RSA
submit to Congress an annual report on
the activities conducted under that title.
In order to meet this requirement, states
must provide annual progress reports to
Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA). This annual report is a webbased data collection system developed
based upon the instrument submitted
for review herein.
The proposed instrument eliminates
an entire section of optional information
that is not required for submission by
the title III AFP grantees, further
reducing the burden from
approximately 29.5 hours to 27 hours
per state. Section C. AFP Optional Data
Elements, which are not title III annual
reporting requirements for the AFP
grantees, has been proposed for removal
from the current instrument. The
information collected in this optional
data section includes: 1. Types of AFP
(partnership loans or revolving loans), 2.
Interest Rates (lowest and highest
interest rates established by policy), 3.
Loan Amounts (lowest and highest loan
amounts established by policy), 4.
Repayment Terms (shortest and longest
repayment terms established by policy),
and Loan Guarantee Requirement, the
percentage of the loans that must be
repaid by the AFP to the lender in case
of default as established by the
agreement with the lender. Since the
data reported under C. AFP Optional
Data Elements of the current instrument
is not required by title III of the AT Act
of 1998, grantees did not report this
information uniformly across programs.
If every grantee doesn’t report in this
section, then the data can’t be reported
in aggregate form. In fact, the data in
this section is available in the annual
report to Congress on the AT Act, as this
optional section contains information
about program features and descriptions
that may or may not change on an

annual basis. Since there is no utility to
the annual reporting of this optional
information, the decision was made to
further reduce the burden to all grantees
by eliminating this section from the
current instrument in the Management
Information Systems.

Federal agencies and the public an early
opportunity to comment on information
collection requests. The OMB is
particularly interested in comments
which: (1) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) Evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) Minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
