Abstract: The data comprising the Case Service Report (RSA-911) are mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act). Applicable portions of the Rehabilitation Act explicitly or implicitly require the recording and reporting of specific data elements by state vocational rehabilitation (VR) agencies to the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). Section 13 of the Act requires the Commissioner to collect and report information specified in section 101(a) (10) to the Congress and the President in the Annual Report. Section 14 of the Act requires the Commissioner to conduct evaluations of the VR program. The information from this data collection is used in evaluating the outcomes of the program. Section 626 requires the same information to be reported for individuals who received supported employment (SE) services. RSA-911 data are also needed to satisfy the requirements of Section 131 calling for an exchange of data between RSA, the Social Security Administration and the Department of Labor.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Because these new requirements would necessitate the reporting of data for both current program participants (open cases) as well as individuals who have exited the program (closed cases) on a quarterly basis, estimated data collection and reporting burden will increase. However, we propose to reduce the burden to respondents by eliminating redundant elements and reorganizing some existing elements of the form. The regulations proposed under this section will increase the total annual burden for the 80 respondents by 4,000 hours. We estimate the total annual reporting burden to be 8,000 hours at $33.63 per hour (a rate more consistent with the rate reported through the Bureau of Labor Statistics for State-employed database administrators), for a total annual cost of $269,040.00.
