Title of Collection: Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) Payback Information Management System. OMB Control Number: 1820–0617. Type of Review: A revision of a currently approved ICR. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments; Individuals and Households; Private Sector. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 12,026. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 4,917. Abstract: Public Law 114–95, section 302 (b) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) provides LongTerm 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 through 386.35 and 386.40 through 386.43 detail the payback provisions and the RSA scholars’ requirements to comply with them. Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act requires tracking of scholars’ employment status and location of former scholars supported under the grants in order to ensure that students are meeting the payback requirement. Scholars must provide requested information necessary to meet the exit certification requirements. In addition to meeting the requirement that all scholars be tracked, the information collected will 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. These data are used to assess program effectiveness and efficiency, and to meet the reporting requirements of Public Law 103–62 section 4 of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). In summary, RSA is requesting a revision of the currently approved collection by adding a section titled State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agency: RSA Job Board Posting, where RSA envisions State VR agencies may initiate posting of an open position on the RSA Job Board on a rolling basis as positions become available. This addition to the current collection will be a helpful resource to students who receive RSA support, graduate, and seek qualifying employment to fulfill their required service obligation.

The CMRS collects data on U.S. coal production, quality, consumption, receipts, stocks, and prices. EIA proposes to make changes to instructions to Forms EIA–3, EIA–7A, and EIA–8A and requests an extension to Forms EIA–6 and EIA–20 with no changes. The changes to Forms EIA–3, EIA–7A, and EIA–8A will reduce the burden of this collection while SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2349 maintaining the utility and integrity of the data.

This information is used to assess the adequacy of coal and other energy resources to meet near and longer-term domestic demands and to promote sound policymaking, efficient markets, and public understanding of energy and its interaction with the economy and the environment. Form EIA–3 collects quarterly data on the use of coal at U.S. manufacturing plants, coal transformation/processing plants, coke plants, and commercial and institutional users of coal. Form EIA–7A collects coal production operations, characteristics of coalbeds mined, recoverable reserves, production capacity, coal sales and revenue, stocks held at mines, and the disposition of the coal mined. For coal preparation, information collected includes operations, locations, production capacity, disposition, and volume of coal prepared. Form EIA–8A collects data on coal stocks by state location, exported coal by origin state, and export revenue of coal sold during the reporting year. Form EIA–6 Emergency Coal Supply Survey and Form EIA–20 Emergency Weekly Coal Monitoring Survey for Coal Burning Power Producers are standby surveys used during periods of coal supply and transportation disruptions.

program regulations at 34 CFR 386.33 through 386.35 and 386.40 through 
386.43 detail the payback provisions and the RSA scholars' requirements 
to comply with them.
    Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act requires tracking of scholars' 
employment status and location of former scholars supported under the 
grants in order to ensure that students are meeting the payback 
requirement. Scholars must provide requested information necessary to 
meet the exit certification requirements.
    In addition to meeting the requirement that all scholars be
