SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose of Program: The purpose of 

the Disability and Rehabilitation 

Research Projects and Centers Program 

is to plan and conduct research, 

demonstration projects, training, and 

related activities, including 

international activities, to develop 

methods, procedures, and rehabilitation 

technology that maximize the full 

inclusion and integration into society, 

employment, independent living, family 

support, and economic and social selfsufficiency of individuals with 

disabilities, especially individuals with 

the most severe disabilities, and to 

improve the effectiveness of services 

authorized under the Rehabilitation Act 

of 1973, as amended (Rehabilitation 

Act). 

Rehabilitation Research and Training 

Centers 

The purpose of the RRTCs, which are 

funded through the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program, is to achieve the goals 

of, and improve the effectiveness of, 

services authorized under the 

Rehabilitation Act through welldesigned research, training, technical 

assistance, and dissemination activities 

in important topical areas, as specified 

by NIDRR. These activities are designed 

to benefit rehabilitation service 

providers, individuals with disabilities, 

family members, policymakers, and 

other research stakeholders. Additional 

information on the RRTC program can 

be found at: http://www2.ed.gov/

programs/rrtc/index.html#types. 

Program Authority: 29 U.S.C. 762(g) and 

764(b)(2). 

Applicable Program Regulations: 34 

CFR part 350. 

We published a notice of proposed 

priority for this program in the Federal 

Register on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 

(79 FR 16707). That notice contained 

background information and our reasons 

for proposing the particular priority. 

There are no differences between the 

proposed priority and this final priority 

as discussed in the Analysis of 

Comments and Changes section 

elsewhere in this notice. 

Public Comment: In response to our 

invitation in the notice of proposed 

priority, four parties submitted 

comments on the proposed priority. 

Generally, we do not address 

technical and other minor changes. In 

addition, we do not address the general 

comments we received that raised 

concerns not directly related to the 

proposed priority. 

Analysis of Comments and Changes: 

An analysis of the comments and of any 

changes in the priority since publication 

of the notice of proposed priority 

follows. 

Comment: Two commenters suggested 

that NIDRR modify the priority to 

require a focus on promising practices 

that could enhance employment 

outcomes for individuals with 

psychiatric disabilities and serve as the 

basis for research by the RRTC. One 

commenter suggested that NIDRR 

modify the priority to focus on 

psychiatric treatment programs that 

emphasize timely intervention 

following an initial psychiatric episode, 

as well as supported education 

programs for youth and young adults 

with psychiatric disabilities. The other 

commenter suggested that NIDRR 

modify the priority to focus on 

educational and supported housing 

interventions for adults with psychiatric 

disabilities, as well as early screening 

and assessment programs to identify 

children with psychiatric disabilities 

while they are in school. 

Discussion: Nothing in the priority 

precludes applicants from focusing on 

the topics described by the commenters. 

However, we do not wish to preclude 

applicants from proposing other areas of 

research by requiring all applicants to 

address the topics presented by the 

commenters. The peer review process 

will determine the merits of each 

proposal. 

Changes: None. 

Final Priority 

The Assistant Secretary for Special 

Education and Rehabilitative Services 

establishes a priority for an RRTC on 

Improving Employment Outcomes for 

Individuals with Psychiatric 

Disabilities. This priority will be jointly 

funded by NIDRR and the Substance 

Abuse and Mental Health Services 

Administration (SAMHSA). For the 

purposes of this priority, ‘‘employment 

outcomes’’ may refer to, but are not 

limited to, obtaining employment, job 

retention, job advancement, or 

compensation. 

The RRTC must contribute to 

improving the employment outcomes of 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities 

by: 

(a) Conducting well-designed research 

activities, with an emphasis on 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 35955 

promising practices with currently 

limited evidence bases, in one or more 

of the following priority areas, focusing 

on individuals with psychiatric 

disabilities as a group or on individuals 

with a specific disability or on 

demographic subpopulations of 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities: 

(1) Technology to improve 

employment outcomes for individuals 

with psychiatric disabilities. 

(2) Individual, work environment, or 

employer factors associated with 

improved employment outcomes for 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities. 

(3) Interventions that contribute to 

improved employment outcomes for 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities. 

Interventions include any strategy, 

practice, program, policy, or tool that, 

when implemented as intended, 

contributes to improvements in 

employment outcomes for individuals 

with psychiatric disabilities, and may 

include interventions focused on 

individuals, families, employers, or 

service providers. 

(4) Effects of current or modified 

government practices, policies, and 

programs on employment outcomes for 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities; 

(b) Focusing its research on one or 

more specific stages of research. If the 

RRTC is to conduct research that can be 

categorized under more than one of the 

research stages, or research that 

progresses from one stage to another, 

those stages should be clearly specified. 

Note: For purposes of this priority, the 

stages of research are from the notice of final 

priority published in the Federal Register on 

June 7, 2013 (78 FR 34261). 

(c) Serving as a national resource 

center related to employment for 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities, 

their families, and other stakeholders by 

conducting knowledge translation 

activities that include, but are not 

limited to: 

(1) Providing information and 

technical assistance to employment 

service providers, mental health service 

providers, employers, individuals with 

psychiatric disabilities and their 

representatives, and other key 

stakeholders. These activities will 

include providing technical assistance 

on evidence-based, supported 

employment to SAMHSA grantees that 

are awarded funds in FY 2014 to 

enhance State and community capacity 

to provide supported employment 

programs targeting adults with serious 

mental illnesses, including persons with 

co-occurring mental illness and 

substance abuse disorders. 

(2) Providing training, including 

graduate, pre-service, and in-service 

training, to vocational rehabilitation and 

other employment service providers, to 

facilitate more effective delivery of 

employment services to individuals 

with psychiatric disabilities. This 

training may be provided through 

conferences, workshops, public 

education programs, in-service training 

programs, and similar activities. 

(3) Disseminating research-based 

information and materials related to 

increasing employment levels for 

individuals with psychiatric disabilities. 

(4) Involving key stakeholder groups 

in the activities conducted under 

paragraph (a) of this priority to promote 

the new knowledge generated by the 

RRTC. 

Types of Priorities 

When inviting applications for a 

competition using one or more 

priorities, we designate the type of each 

priority as absolute, competitive 

preference, or invitational through a 

notice in the Federal Register. The 

effect of each type of priority follows: 

Absolute priority: Under an absolute 

priority, we consider only applications 

that meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(3)). 

Competitive preference priority: 

Under a competitive preference priority, 

we give competitive preference to an 

application by (1) awarding additional 

points, depending on the extent to 

which the application meets the priority 

(34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i)); or (2) selecting 

an application that meets the priority 

over an application of comparable merit 

that does not meet the priority (34 CFR 

75.105(c)(2)(ii)). 

Invitational priority: Under an 

invitational priority, we are particularly 

interested in applications that meet the 

priority. However, we do not give an 

application that meets the priority a 

preference over other applications (34 

CFR 75.105(c)(1)). 

This notice does not preclude us from 

proposing additional priorities, 

requirements, definitions, or selection 

criteria, subject to meeting applicable 

rulemaking requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under Executive Order 12866, the 

Secretary must determine whether this 

regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and, 

therefore, subject to the requirements of 

the Executive order and subject to 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive 

Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ as an action likely to 

result in a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the Executive order. 

This final regulatory action is not a 

significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866. 

We have also reviewed this final 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

13563, which supplements and 

explicitly reaffirms the principles, 

structures, and definitions governing 

regulatory review established in 

Executive Order 12866. To the extent 

permitted by law, Executive Order 

13563 requires that an agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

upon a reasoned determination that 

their benefits justify their costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

Executive Order 13563 also requires 

an agency ‘‘to use the best available 

techniques to quantify anticipated 

present and future benefits and costs as 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
35956 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

accurately as possible.’’ The Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs of 

OMB has emphasized that these 

techniques may include ‘‘identifying 

changing future compliance costs that 

might result from technological 

innovation or anticipated behavioral 

changes.’’ 

We are issuing this final priority only 

on a reasoned determination that its 

benefits justify its costs. In choosing 

among alternative regulatory 

approaches, we selected those 

approaches that maximize net benefits. 

Based on the analysis that follows, the 

Department believes that this regulatory 

action is consistent with the principles 

in Executive Order 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action does not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program have been well 

established over the years. Projects 

similar to the one envisioned by the 

final priority have been completed 

successfully, and the proposed priority 

would generate new knowledge through 

research. The new RRTC would 

generate, disseminate, and promote the 

use of new information that would 

improve outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities in the areas of community 

living and participation, employment, 

and health and function.
