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: Grantee Reporting Form--RSA Annual Payback 
Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0617.
    Type of Review: A revision of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector, State, Local and 
Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 350.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 400.
    Abstract: Under section 302 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 
amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), the 
Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) provides Long-Term 
Training grants to academic institutions to support scholarship 
assistance to students. Students who receive scholarships under this 
program are required to work within the public rehabilitation program, 
such as with a state vocational rehabilitation agency, or an agency or 
organization that has a service arrangement with a state vocational 
rehabilitation agency. The student is expected to work two years in 
such settings for every year of full-time scholarship support. The 
program regulations at 34 CFR 386.33-386.35 and 386.40-386.43 detail 
the payback provisions and the RSA scholars' requirements to comply 
with them.
    Section 302 (b)(2)(C) of the Act requires the academic institutions 
(i.e., grantees) that administer Long-Term Training grants to track the 
employment status and location of former scholars supported under their 
grants in order to ensure that students are meeting the payback 
requirement. Program regulations at 34 CFR 386.34 require each grantee 
to establish and maintain a tracking system on current and former RSA 
scholars for this purpose and to report to the Secretary information on 
the scholars' progress toward fulfilling their obligation towards 
payback in qualified employment in fields which include clinical 
practice, administration, supervision, teaching or research in 
vocational rehabilitation, supported employment, or independent living 
rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals 
with significant disabilities.
    The Annual Payback Report form for which RSA is requesting an 
extension collects data on the status of ``current'' and ``exited'' RSA 
scholars who are/were the recipients of scholarships. In addition to 
meeting the requirement that all scholars be tracked, the information 
collected on the form currently in use will continue to provide 
performance data relevant to the rehabilitation fields and degrees 
pursued by RSA scholars, as well as the funds owed and the 
rehabilitation work completed by them.
