requirements and provide the requested
data in the desired format. The
Department is soliciting comments on
the proposed information collection
request (ICR) that is described below.
The Department 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
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Case Service
Report (RSA–911).
OMB Control Number: 1820–0508.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local, and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 312.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 12,236,731.
Abstract: The Case Service Report
(RSA–911) is used to collect individual
level data on State Vocational
Rehabilitation (VR) program
participants on a quarterly basis. The
data collected in this report are
mandated by section 101(a)(10) and 607
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Act)
and section 116(d) of the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act. In
addition, the Rehabilitation Services
Administration (RSA) uses data
reported through this collection to
support its other responsibilities under
the Act. Section 14(a) of the Act calls for
the evaluation of programs authorized
under the Act, as well as an assessment
of the programs’ effectiveness in relation
to cost. Many of these evaluations use
RSA–911 data. RSA also uses data
captured through the RSA–911 during
the conduct of both the annual review
and periodic on-site monitoring of VR
agencies required by section 107 of the
Act to examine the effectiveness of
program performance. Other important
management activities, such as the
provision of technical assistance,
program planning, and budget
preparation and development, are
greatly enhanced through the use of
RSA–911 data. In addition, RSA uses
RSA–911 data in the exchange of data
under a data sharing agreement with the
Social Security Administration and the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
PO 00000

Services as required by section 131 of
the Act. Finally, the RSA–911 is
considered to be one of the most robust
databases in describing the
demographics of the disabled
population in the country and as such
is used widely in researchers’ disabilityrelated analyses and reports.
The current RSA–911 expires on 05/
31/2024, which occurs during Program
Year 2023 (07/01/2023–06/30/2024).
Because RSA must collect the same
performance data for the entirety of a
Program Year, RSA must begin Program
Year 2024 with approval of this
proposed revision in place. Thus, RSA
is proposing to extend with revisions
the RSA–911 for three years. If this
revision is approved, VR agencies will
collect and report data under this
collection for Program Years 2024
through 2026. (07/01/2024–06/30/2027).
Dated: April 14, 2023.

understand the universe of
organizations participating in building
load management programs, including
the following four voluntary programs:

Program, the Better Buildings
Residential Network, and the Zero
Energy Ready Home Program. DOE
encourages and assists the people and
organizations that voluntarily
participate in energy efficiency
programs to build or renovate buildings
for the purposes of improved efficiency,
reliability, and affordability. The
partners who voluntarily participate in
the programs include: home builders,
building trades and building-related
associations, home design professionals,
home energy raters and auditors, home
inspectors, building consultants,
manufacturers of building products,
retailers, utility companies, financial
institutions, non-profit organizations,
educational institutions, energy program
administrators and implementers, Home
Performance with ENERGY STAR
sponsors, state or local government
energy offices or agencies, and other
organizations that believe peer sharing

building owner information is
collected), and load management
strategies. The collected information
helps DOE understand the participating

the best way to respond to partners’
needs to improve their operations and
actions to lower energy consumption
and improve affordability; (5) Annual
