    Agency Form Number(s): Form RSA-509.

    Abstract: The Annual Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights 
Program Performance Report (Form RSA-509) will be used to analyze and 
evaluate the effectiveness of eligible systems within individual states 
in meeting annual priorities and objectives. These systems provide 
services to eligible individuals with disabilities to protect their 
legal and human rights. Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) 
uses the form to meet specific data collection requirements of Section 
509 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (the act), and its 
implementing federal regulations at 34 CFR part 381. PAIR programs must 
report annually using the form, which is due on or before December 30 
each year. Form RSA-509 has enabled RSA to furnish the President and 
Congress with data on the provision of protection and advocacy services 
and has helped to establish a sound basis for future funding requests. 
These data also have been used to indicate trends in the provision of 
services from year to year.
