the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) Evaluate the accuracy of 
the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Office of Postsecondary Education

    Type of Review: New.
    Title of Collection: Transition and Postsecondary Programs for 
Students with Intellectual Disabilities Evaluation System.
    OMB Control Number: Pending.
    Agency Form Number(s): N/A.
    Frequency of Responses: Annually.
    Affected Public: Not-for-Profit Institutions.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 56.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1087.
    Abstract: On October 2010, the Office of Postsecondary Education 
(OPE) awarded 27 Institutes of Higher Education (IHE) grants to fund 
the creation of Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual 
Disabilities (TPSIDs) (model demonstrations) in 23 states.
    OPE also awarded a grant to the Institute for Community Inclusion 
at the University of Massachusetts Boston to fund a coordinating center 
to support these TPSID grantees as well as other programs around the 
country that are working to transition students with cognitive 
disabilities into higher education. One of the Coordinating Center's 
roles is to develop an evaluation system for the TPSID programs. The 
proposed data collection system is part of that evaluation effort and 
involves establishment of a uniform dataset across the initial 27 sites 
(and potentially up to 31 additional IHEs) to ensure consistency in 
collection of information comprised by the previously listed 11 
Government Performance and Results Act measures. The system will 
collect program data at the institution and individual level from TPSID 
program staff via an online, secure, data management system.
