Title of Collection: Case Service Report (RSA-911).
OMB Control Number: 1820-0508.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 12,236,731.
Abstract: The Case Service Report (RSA-911) is used to collect
individual level data on State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program
participants on a quarterly basis. The data collected in this report
are mandated by section 101(a)(10) and 607 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973 (Act) and section 116(d) of the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act. In addition, the Rehabilitation Services
Administration (RSA) uses data reported through this collection to
support its other responsibilities under the Act. Section 14(a) of the
Act calls for the evaluation of programs authorized under the Act, as
well as an assessment of the programs' effectiveness in relation to
cost. Many of these evaluations use RSA-911 data. RSA also uses data
captured through the RSA-911 during the conduct of both the annual
review and periodic on-site monitoring of VR agencies required by
section 107 of the Act to examine the effectiveness of program
performance. Other important management activities, such as the
provision of technical assistance, program planning, and budget
preparation and development, are greatly enhanced through the use of
RSA-911 data. In addition, RSA uses RSA-911 data in the exchange of
data under a data sharing agreement with the Social Security
Administration and the
[[Page 43107]]
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as required by section 131
of the Act. Finally, the RSA-911 is considered to be one of the most
robust databases in describing the demographics of the disabled
population in the country and as such is used widely in researchers'
disability-related analyses and reports.
The current RSA-911 expires on 05/31/2024, which occurs during
Program Year 2023 (07/01/2023-06/30/2024). Because RSA must collect the
same performance data for the entirety of a Program Year, RSA must
begin Program Year 2024 with approval of this proposed revision in
place. Thus, RSA is proposing to extend with revisions the RSA-911 for
three years. If this revision is approved, VR agencies will collect and
report data under this collection for Program Years 2024 through 2026.
