Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (the Act) requires the Independent Living Services (ILS) Program Performance Report (PPR). The ILS PPR is submitted annually by the Designated State Entities (DSEs) and Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs) in every state that receives Part B funds. The ILS PPR serves as the main way for DSEs to fulfill their requirement to submit reports regarding financial assistance from the Administration for Community Living (ACL). The ILS PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with Title VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. Based on the review and analysis of PPRs, ACL provides technical assistance, assesses compliance, and grants and denies continuation of funding. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance activities authorized by section 721 of the Act. See 29 U.S.C. § 721(b)(1) (which is 29 U.S.C. 796f(b)(1)); see 45 CFR 1329.24. The data is also used to meet the requirements of GPRAMA regarding performance measures. See 31 U.S.C. § 1116.
