Frequency of Data Collection. Annual

Data Quality. Not applicable, no data collected. See explanation.
Explanation.

A data collection system into which states can provide their annual reports was not approved by OMB
during FY 2006. Therefore, FY 2006 data could not be collected and could not be used to establish a
baseline.

RSA anticipates receiving approval on the data collection system by the end of FY 2006. States will enter
data for October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2007 into the system. This data will be used to establish
the baseline in FY 2007 rather than FY 2006.

Measure 1.2 of 3: The percentage of targeted individuals and entities who obtained an assistive
technology device or service for employment purposes through state financing activities or
reutilization programs, who would not have obtained the device or service. (Desired direction:
increase)
Actual
Year Target Status
