that notice containing proposed information collection requests prior

    Abstract: This submission is for a one-time data collection for the
Evaluation of the American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Services
(AIVRS) Program. The information will be used by the Department of
Education to improve the design of the program, answer questions about
the program, and justify its budget. There are very limited reporting

of the information will come from project directors, but there will
also be interviews with project staff, tribal representatives, advisory
group members, service providers, and State VR agency staff.
