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 Director, Regulatory Information 
Management Services, Office of Management, publishes that 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.

(CIL) programs must submit an approvable three-year State Plan for 
Independent Living (SPIL) to the Rehabilitation Services Administration 
(RSA). The purpose of these programs is to promote the independent 
living philosophy--based on consumer control, peer support, self-help, 
self-determination, equal access and individual and systems advocacy--
to maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence and productivity 
of individuals with significant disabilities and to promote and 
maximize the integration and full inclusion of individuals with 
significant disabilities into the mainstream of American society. The 
SPIL encompasses the activities planned by the State to achieve its 
specified independent living objectives and reflects the State's 
commitment to comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory 
requirements during the three years covered by the plan.
