Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 56. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 336. 

Abstract: This data collection 

instrument is being submitted to obtain 

approval for information collection on 

the Independent Living Services For

obtain but for whom independent living 

goals are feasible. This data will be used 

to evaluate and construct a profile for 

the program nationwide. The 

respondents will be the managers of the 

Independent Living Services For Older 

Individuals Who Are blind program in 

each of the 56 states and territories. The 

revisions to this instrument consist of 2 

additional items in Part I to capture the 

amount of other federal funds made 

available to the program, and the 

carryover for those funds. In Part III, 

rearrangement in the order of requested 

information to avoid double counting of 

consumers in the race and ethnicity 

categories; an additional item to capture 

the number of consumers served who 

are homeless; additional items to 

capture the number of consumers 

referred from nursing homes, assisted 

living facilities, government/social 

service agencies, and self-referrals.

Title of Collection: Report of 

Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility 

Program. 

OMB Control Number: 1820–0009. 

Type of Review: A revision of an 

existing information collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: State, 

Local, or Tribal Governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 52. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 702. 

Abstract: The Vending Facility 

Program authorized by the RandolphSheppard Act provides persons who are 

blind with remunerative employment 

and self-support through the operation 

of vending facilities on federal and other 

property. Under the Randolph Sheppard 

Program, state licensing agencies 

recruit, train, license and place 

individuals who are blind as operators 

of vending facilities (including 

cafeterias, snack bars, vending 

machines, etc.) located on federal and 

other properties. In statute at 20 U.S.C. 

107a(6)(a), the Secretary of Education is 

directed through the Commissioner of 

the Rehabilitation Services 

Administration (RSA) to conduct 

periodic evaluations of the programs 

authorized under the RandolphSheppard Act. Additionally, section 

107b(4) requires entities designated as 

the state licensing agency to make such 

reports in such form and containing 

such information as the Secretary may 

from time to time require. The 

information to be collected is a 

necessary component of the evaluation 

process and forms the basis for annual 

reporting. These data are also used to 

understand the distribution type and 

profitability of vending facilities 

throughout the country. Such 

information is useful in providing 

technical assistance to state licensing 

agencies and property managers. The 

Code of Federal Regulations, at 34 CFR 

395.8, specifies that vending machine 

income received by the state from 

federal property managers can be 

distributed to blind vendors in an 

amount not to exceed the national 

average income for blind vendors. This 

amount is determined through data 

collected using RSA–15: Report of 

Randolph-Sheppard Vending Facility 

Program. In addition, the collection of 

information ensures the provision and 

transparency of activities referenced in 

34 CFR 395.12 related to disclosure of 

program and financial information. 

The following changes are found in 

the revised information collection (IC) 

RSA–15: Report of Randolph-Sheppard 

Vending Facility Program. At the end of
