Source: Performance Report Contractor Performance Report Frequency: Annually. Collection Period: 2001 - 2002 Data Available: December 2003 Validated By: No Formal Verification. Limitations: Data are self-reported and not standardized. Prior to the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998, the Department did not have clear authority to collect routine performance data and very limited information was available on the operation and performance of these projects. Improvements: RSA has developed a standardized data collection and reporting system. The system has been modified to meet the anticipated requirements of programs results in the OMB Program Assessment Rating Tool. The Notice of Proposed Information Collection Request was published in the Federal Register/Vol.67, No. 151 /page 50875 on August 6, 2002. After comments are received, evaluated and changes made if necessary, OMB will review the reporting system. It is hoped that the Department will be able to have the resources to implement the system and that the system will be implemented to provide 2003 data. The first comprehensive evaluation of the AIVRS has been completed and is in the process of being implemented. |
