proposing an extension of an existing information collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
June 1, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for proposed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Education (ED), in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 
3506(c)(2)(A)), provides the general public and Federal agencies with 
an opportunity to comment on proposed, revised, and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the Department assess the impact 
of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the Department's 
information collection requirements and provide the requested data in 
the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed 
information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The 
Department of Education is especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to 
the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be 
processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden 
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.
    Title of Collection: Grant Reallotment.
    OMB Control Number: 1820-0692.
    Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: State, Local, and Tribal Governments.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 323.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11.
    Abstract: The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the Act), 
authorizes the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) 
Commissioner to reallot to other grant recipients that portion of a 
recipient's annual grant that cannot be used. To maximize the use of 
appropriated funds under the formula grant programs, RSA has 
established a reallotment process for the State Vocational 
Rehabilitation Services (VR); State Supported Employment Services 
(Supported Employment); Independent Living Services for Older 
Individuals Who Are Blind (OIB); Client Assistance Program (CAP); and 
Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights (PAIR) programs. The 
authority for RSA to reallot formula grant funds is found at sections 
110(b)(2) (VR), 603(b) (Supported Employment), 752(i)(4) (OIB), 
112(e)(2) (CAP), and 509(e) (PAIR) of the Act.
    This request is to extend the use of the form for an additional 3 
years. The information will be used by the RSA State Monitoring and 
Program Improvement Division (SMPID) to reallot formula grant funds for 
the awards mentioned above. This permits RSA to maximize the use of 
Federal funds to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities.
