OMB notes that
this collection was submitted as an emergency. Approval is granted
for six months only. Before resubmission, RSA will conduct a series
of meetings and teleconferences with Centers of Independent Living,
Designated State Units, and other interested parties to ensure that
these entities understand the new performance measures. Using
feedback from these sessions, RSA will make necessary changes to
the 704 report to ensure that sound baseline data is captured.
RSA's resubmission package to OMB will include a memo explaining
the outreach activities conducted, including the date and number of
attendees present at the session. RSA agrees to provide OMB with an
advance copy of the proposed outreach schedule within one month of
clearance. RSA also agrees to provide a written response to those
members of the public who commented on the current submission
package.
