Title of Collection: Grantee Reporting
Form—RSA Annual Payback Report.
OMB Control Number: 1820–0617.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private
Sector, State, Local and Tribal
Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 350.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 400.
Abstract: Under section 302 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
by the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA), the
Rehabilitation Services Administration
(RSA) provides Long-Term Training
grants to academic institutions to
support scholarship assistance to
students. Students who receive
scholarships under this program are
required to work within the public
rehabilitation program, such as with a
state vocational rehabilitation agency, or
an agency or organization that has a
service arrangement with a state
vocational rehabilitation agency. The
student is expected to work two years in
such settings for every year of full-time
scholarship support. The program
regulations at 34 CFR 386.33–386.35
and 386.40–386.43 detail the payback
provisions and the RSA scholars’
requirements to comply with them.
Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act
requires the academic institutions (i.e.,
grantees) that administer Long-Term
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:41 Nov 09, 2015
Jkt 238001
Training grants to track the employment
status and location of former scholars
supported under their grants in order to
ensure that students are meeting the
payback requirement. Program
regulations at 34 CFR 386.34 require
each grantee to establish and maintain
a tracking system on current and former
RSA scholars for this purpose and to
report to the Secretary information on
the scholars’ progress toward fulfilling
their obligation towards payback in
qualified employment in fields which
include clinical practice,
administration, supervision, teaching or
research in vocational rehabilitation,
supported employment, or independent
living rehabilitation of individuals with
disabilities, especially individuals with
significant disabilities.
The Annual Payback Report form for
which RSA is requesting an extension
collects data on the status of ‘‘current’’
and ‘‘exited’’ RSA scholars who are/
were the recipients of scholarships. In
addition to meeting the requirement that
all scholars be tracked, the information
collected on the form currently in use
will continue to provide performance
data relevant to the rehabilitation fields
and degrees pursued by RSA scholars,
as well as the funds owed and the
rehabilitation work completed by them.

Abstract: The Study of Enhanced
College Advising in Upward Bound will
test the effectiveness of providing
Upward Bound projects with a
professional development package and
tools to provide semi-customized
college advising to students
participating in Upward Bound.
Upward Bound projects were invited to
volunteer for the demonstration, and
approximately 200 projects that
volunteered for the demonstration are
included. Volunteer projects will be
randomly assigned so that half receive
the staff training, materials, tools, and
resources in the first wave (spring 2015),
and the other half will receive the staff
training, materials, tools, and resources
in the second wave (summer and fall
2016). The study will follow students
who participate in both groups of
projects as 11th graders in the 2014–
2015 school year. The study will
examine the impact of the
demonstration on key outcomes
including college application behavior,
college acceptance and matriculation,
and receipt of financial aid. The first of
two ICRs for the study requested
approval for the overall evaluation
design, to collect 11th grade student
rosters at each participating project and
to administer the student baseline
survey; the first ICR was approved on
8/8/2014. This is the second of two ICRs
and requests approval for the remaining
data collection activities, including a
project survey, a follow-up student
survey, and administrative records.
Three reports will be produced, with
one (expected 2017) reporting on the
outcomes measures prior to high school
graduation; a second (expected 2018)
reporting on the results regarding actual
college enrollment, college selectivity
and use of Federal financial aid; and a
third (expected 2020) reporting results
regarding college persistence. The
analyses will be both descriptive
(distributions and means) and causal
(using standard regression analyses to
estimate impacts).
