accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the 
Department minimize the burden of this collection on the respondents, 
including through the use of information technology. Please note that 
written comments received in response to this notice will be considered 
public records.

    Abstract: Pursuant to Section 107 (a) of the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973, as amended, the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) must 
conduct periodic monitoring of the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) 
programs in each state. As a result of this monitoring, RSA may require 
that VR agencies to develop a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) in order to 
resolve findings of non-compliance. The CAP must contain the specific 
steps that the agency will take to resolve each finding, timelines for 
the completion of each step and methods for evaluating that the 
findings have been resolved. RSA requires the agency to report progress 
toward completion of the CAP on a quarterly basis.
