SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U. S. C. Chapter 35) requires that the Office of Management 
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.
