Title of Collection: National 

Evaluation of the Technical Assistance 

and Dissemination (TA&D) Program: 

Grantee Questionnaire/Interview and 

State Survey Data Collection. 

OMB Control Number: 1850–NEW. 

Type of Review: A new information 

collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 3,702. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 927. 

Abstract: This data collection is Phase 

II of the National Evaluation of the 

TA&D Program and will focus on 

gathering relevant information on the 

State Deaf-Blind Projects funded under 

the OSEP Technical Assistance and 

Dissemination (TA&D) Program. Data 

will be obtained through three 

questionnaires. A State Deaf-Blind 

Project Questionnaire will be 

administered to all Project Directors and 

will yield detailed descriptive 

information about the technical 

assistance products and services 

provided by the TA&D Program grantees 

and to whom they provide them. A 

questionnaire administered to providers 

who are identified as those who work at 

least on a weekly basis with students 

aged 6–21 with deaf blindness will 

provide information concerning 

characteristics of these providers and 

their needs for technical assistance to 

support their work with students. A 

subset of these providers who have 

received child-specific technical 

assistance from a state deaf-blind project 

will receive a short set of additional 

questions about their experiences with 

the TA received, and their satisfaction 

with that support. 

This data collection will provide 

unique, detailed data and information 

that are not currently available from 

other sources but that are necessary in 

order to accurately understand the role 

that the State Deaf-Blind Projects play in 

supporting local providers in their work 

with children and youth with deaf 

blindness. The National Evaluation of 

the TA&D Program is part of the 

National Assessment of the Individuals 

with Disabilities Education 

Improvement Act of 2004 (hereafter 

referred to as the National Assessment). 

Failure to collect these data may result 

in the ED being unable to adequately 

report to Congress on the National 

Assessment.
