SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an
early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The Acting Deputy Chief Information Officer,
Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes this notice
containing proposed information collection requests prior to submission
of these requests to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped
by office, contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g.,
new, revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)
Summary of the collection; (4) Description of the need for, and
proposed use of, the information; (5) Respondents and frequency of
collection; and (6) Reporting and/or Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites
public comment at the address specified above. Copies of the requests
are available from Patrick J. Sherrill at the address specified above.

Type of Review: New.
Title: Survey of Consumer Choice and Satisfaction in the Choice
Demonstration Projects.
Frequency: On occasion.
Affected Public: Individuals or households.
Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
Responses: 217.
Burden Hours: 54.
Abstract: As mandated in P.L. 102-569, RSA/ED is conducting an
evaluation of the ``effects of increased choice on consumers'' in seven
demonstrations projects funded under the legislation. The independent
evaluator, InfoUse, will survey a random sample of 217 current and
former project participants. Respondents are working-aged persons with
disabilities who have received vocational rehabilitation services
through the demonstration projects. The results will determine the
extent to which the demonstration projects have increased consumer
choice and satisfaction with vocational rehabilitation planning,
service purchasing, and outcomes. The results will inform key
Congressional and Administration policy-makers, personnel in the 82
state vocational rehabilitation agencies, private rehabilitation
providers, and organizations serving consumers of vocational
rehabilitation.
