SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department of Education (ED), in

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general
public and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed,
revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps the Department
assess the impact of its information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand the
Department’s information collection
requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. 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

Title of Collection: Annual Progress
Reporting Form for the American Indian
Vocational Rehabilitation Services
Program.
OMB Control Number: 1820–0655.
Type of Review: A revision of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 817.
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
form 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
and Technical Needs assessment survey
will not be conducted independent of
the ICR.
