    OMB Control Number: 1820-0655.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.

[[Page 46282]]

Services (AIVRS) program. RSA and ED will use the information gathered 
annually to: (a) Comply with reporting requirements under the Education 
Department General Administration Regulations and provide annual 
information to Congress on activities conducted under the program, (b) 
measure performance on the program's Government Performance Result Act 
indicators, and (c) to collect information that is consistent with the 
common measures for federal job training programs.
    The proposed changes to the existing form will improve user 
friendliness and the clarity and accuracy of data reported. These 
revisions are not of a substantial manner nor significantly different 
from the original collection, but are proposed to provide clarity and 
consistency. In many areas, the data element language has been modified 
with direct language instead of passive terminology and, in order to 
preserve consistency, all numerals are replaced with the corresponding 
word.
