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: Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights 
(PAIR).
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0627.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 57.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 912.
    Abstract: The Annual Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights 
(PAIR) Program Performance Report (Form RSA-509) will be used to 
analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of eligible systems within 
individual states in meeting annual priorities and objectives. These 
systems provide services to eligible individuals with disabilities to 
protect their legal and human rights. Rehabilitation Services 
Administration (RSA) uses the form to meet specific data collection 
requirements of Section 509 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 
amended (the act), and its implementing federal regulations at 34 CFR 
part 381. PAIR programs must report annually using the form, which is 
due on or before December 30 each year. Form RSA-509 has enabled RSA to 
furnish the President and Congress with data on the provision of 
protection and advocacy services and has helped to establish a sound 
basis for future funding requests. These data also have been used to 
indicate trends in the provision of services from year-to-year.
