The Annual Protection and Advocacy of
Individual Right (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. 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
