SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in

3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the 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: Rehabilitation Services Administration Grant 
Re-allotment Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0692.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 140.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 13.
    Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, authorizes 
the commissioner to re-allot to other grant recipients that portion of 
a recipient's annual grant that cannot be used. To maximize the use of 
appropriated funds under the formula grant programs, the Office of 
Special Education and Rehabilitative Services has established a re-
allotment process for the Basic Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants; 
Supported Employment State Grants; Independent Living State Grants, 
Part B (IL-Part B); Independent Living Services for Older Individuals 
Who Are Blind (IL-OB); Client Assistance (CAP) and Protection and 
Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR) Programs. The authority for the 
Rehabilitation Services Administration to reallot formula grant funds 
is found at sections 110(b)(2) (VR), 622(b) (SE), 711(c) (IL-Part B), 
752(j)(4) (IL-OB), 112(e)(2) (CAP), and 509(e) (PAIR) of the Act. The 
information will continue to be used by the Rehabilitation Services 
Administration State Monitoring and Program Improvement Division to 
reallot formula grant funds for the awards mentioned above. For each 
grant award, the grantee will be required to enter the amount of funds 
being relinquished and/or any additional funds being requested.

    Dated: December 13, 2016.

Acting Director, Information Collection Clearance Division, Office of 
the Chief Privacy Officer, Office of Management.
