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: Annual Progress 

Reporting Form for the American Indian 

Vocational Rehabilitation Services 

(AIVRS) Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1820–0655. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 85. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,063. 

Abstract: The Rehabilitation Services 

Administration (RSA) of the U.S. 

Department of Education (ED) will use 

this data collection form to capture the 

annual performance report data from 

grantees funded under the American 

Indian Vocational Rehabilitation 

Services (AIVRS) program. RSA and ED 

will use the information gathered 

annually to: (a) Comply with reporting 

requirements under Section 75.118 of 

the Education Department General 

Administration Regulations (EDGAR), 

(b) provide annual information to 

Congress on activities conducted under 

the program, (c) measure performance 

on the program in accordance with the 

program indicators identified in the 

Government Performance Result Act 

(GPRA), and (d) collect information that 

is consistent with the common measures 

for federal job training programs. 

The proposed changes to the existing 

form will improve user friendliness, 

clarity of data questions, and accuracy 

of data reported. These revisions are not 

of a substantial manner nor significantly 

different from the original collection, 

but are proposed to provide clarity and 

consistency. In many areas, the data 

element language has been modified 

with direct language instead of passive 

terminology.
