Approved as
amended by ED's memorandum to OMB of 9/10/97. In addition, ED has
agreed to meet the following conditions: This Grantee Reporting
Form replaces the Rehabilitation Services Administration Training
Payback Reporting Form that is currently a part of a separate
clearance package (OMB# 1820-0018). Thus, when ED resubmits
1820-0018 for clearance, the Rehabilitation Services Administration
Training Payback Reporting Form will be removed from the package;
ED will in the next submission of this package (1820-0617) consider
the use of RSA staff resources in calculating the cost of this
collection to respondents; ED will employ methods for increasing
the electronic response rate for this form and will report on
progress in this area in the next clearance request; ED will
continue to ensure that none of the information requested in the
grantee reporting form is duplicated in the Grantee Performance
Report; ED will in the next submission consider small colleges and
universities as small entities when assessing the impact on small
entities. Furthermore, in order to improve utility prior to
distribution: ED will eliminate the "Place of Employment" category;
ED will change the instruction for the "Acceptable Place of
Employment" category to "Report the acceptable place of employment
as a State agency, non-profit service provider, or practice group,
etc. If place of employment is not acceptable, e.g. the location
does not meet payback requirements, then enter N/A."; ED will
eliminate the "Date Work Must Be Completed" category; ED will
include the "Date Work Must Begin" category; ED, when referring
respondent to a regulation or manual in this form, will cite to the
specific regulation or manual; ED will fix the instructions on page
3 of the form so that they no longer run off the page.

RSA training grants provide stipends
to "RSA Scholars" in order to train skilled rehabilitation

is reported annually to RSA in order to monitor performance and
report progress to Congress.

1320.8(b)(3).
