Abstract: VETS and the Department of
Veterans Affairs Vocational
Rehabilitation and Employment (VA
VR&E) share a mutual responsibility for
the successful readjustment of disabled
veterans into the civilian workforce.
Since August, 1995, the two Federal
Agencies have worked together under a
Memorandum of Understanding to
cooperate and coordinate services
provided to veterans and transitioning
service members referred to or
completing a program of vocational
rehabilitation authorized under title 31,
United States Code (hereinafter referred
to as the Chapter 31 program).
To help Congress understand the
extent to which federal agencies
coordinate programs and the
performance of this coordination, the
Government Accountability Office
(GAO) conducted a study and released
Report Number GAO–13–29: Veterans’
Employment and Training—Better
E:\FR\FM\03MRN1.SGM
03MRN1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 41 / Tuesday, March 3, 2015 / Notices
Targeting, Coordinating, and Reporting
Needed to Enhance Program Effectives.
One of the findings encouraged the two
agencies ‘‘to determine the extent to
which veterans’ employment outcomes
result from program participation. . .’’
As a result of the GAO
recommendations, a Joint Work Group
was directed to establish and
standardize processes to ensure disabled
veterans participating in the Chapter 31
program achieve the ultimate goal of
successful career transition and suitable
employment after the provision of Labor
Market Information and employment
services from the Jobs for Veterans State
Grant recipients. The Joint Work Group
refined processes and strengthened the
team approach to serving these disabled
veterans.
The Vocational Rehabilitation &
Employment (Chapter 31) Tracking
Report (VETS 201) is designed to
respond to the GAO finding by
compiling information on disabled
veterans jointly served by the VA, VETS
and Jobs for Veterans State Grant
recipients. All partners agree to share
information exclusively to facilitate job
development and placement services for
participating veterans. The information
is collected only with documented
consent from veterans in accordance
with the Privacy Act of 1974 and other
applicable regulations and each agency
will provide practical and appropriate
safeguards to protect Personally
Identifiable Information in accordance
with applicable regulations and laws,
including the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and
reauthorizations, and title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The information is collected by the
Jobs for Veterans State grant recipient
and submitted to the state Director for
Veterans’ Employment and Training
(DVET) once per Federal fiscal quarter.
The results are shared between VETS
and VA VR&E.
Estimated Annual Burden: VETS 201:
456 Hours.
Estimated Average Burden Per
Respondent: VETS 201 (Proposed): 2
Hours, Range 1–3 Hours.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
VETS 201: 57.
Total Annualized Capital/startup
costs: $0.
Total Initial Annual Costs: $0.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the agency’s request for
OMB approval of the information
collection request. Comments will
become a matter of public record.
