Salt Lake City, Utah
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Process for Development
LeadNational Information System on Assistive
Technology (NISAT) ABLE Tech
Partners RSA RESNA Alternative Financing Technical
Assistance Project (AFTAP)
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Data Work Group Comprised of programs
dual reporting requirements (AFP and Statewide AT Program)
those that solely have AFP reporting requirements
large programs and small programs (Federal Funds given through the years)
diversity with states, population, location, type of AFP offered etc.

Held 6 Conference Calls
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Mission Data collection instrument that would
capture at a minimum the reporting requirements of Title III of the Assistive Act of 1998
(4) the amount of assistance giving to consumers through the program (who shall be classified by age, type of disability, type of AT devices or AT service financed through the program, geographic distribution, within the State, gender and whether the consumers are part of an underrepresented or rural population).
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Issues
Some reporting requirements are different than those in State Financing
Convert current AFP reporting from Individual data on all applicants Annual Program data
To one aggregate data system
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Currently
Federal Register released data instrument for comment February 29th
Office of Management & Budget (OMB) closed comments April 29th
OMB will review comments and release final instrument approximately 90 to 120 days
There could be changes but here is what we know now…….

Definition of Type of Loan
Revolving Loans – the loan program directly provides the funds that are loanedPartnership Loans – funds are from a source other than the AFP, usually a financial entity, through an agreement
Loan GuaranteeInterest Buy-DownOther
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Definitions – Type of Loans
Loan Guarantee – the loan program uses its funds to guarantee all or a portion of a loan
Interest Buy-Down – the loan program funds are used to buy down the interest rate of the loan resulting in lower interest payment charged to the consumer
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Definitions – Type of Loans
Low-Interest Loan – the interest charged to the consumer is at or below prime rate. Prime rate is interest rate charged by commercial banks for large loans
Preferred Interest Loan – the interest rate that is lower than the consumer would normally pay

Definitions - Defaults
Loan in Default – on or before, 120 days in which the borrower has not made the scheduled payment for the balance still owed to the loan program; or when the loan program paid the lending institution the remaining agreed upon balance of loan. Do not count loans that have had rescue payments.
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Definitions - Defaults
Net Dollar Loss – the amount lost as a result of default during this reporting period after subtracting any funds that were recovered on a revolving or guarantee loan.
Active Loans – a borrower owes money and is still actively making payments and the loan program is responsible for all or part of the balance in case of default. Revolving Loans Guarantee Loans
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Definitions - DefaultsCount: All Active Loans from when the loan
program originated, in which the loan program is responsible for all or part of the balance if the loan was to default on the last day of the reporting period.
Do Not Count: Loans in which the loan program does not
have a financial responsibility to pay the bank in case of default, such as: Interest Buy-Down Loans Low Interest or Preferred Interest Loans

Direct User
A direct user is an individual that uses an AT device or service that provides a direct benefit or impact. Whereas, secondary user or beneficiary is a person who benefits from the user having an AT device.
There can be more than one direct user for one AT device, but do not count secondary user
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008

Type of Disability
The AT direct user’s abilities may be affected in more than one area, therefore the data reported for each user may reflect multiple areas or “Type of Abilities”
The total number of areas affected may exceed the number of loans and/or the totals reported for direct users of age, gender and geographic distribution

Anecdote
Provide at least one anecdote What AT device or service did the user need? How did the your AFP help? What barrier(s) did your AFP help the user
overcome? Did the AFP collaborate with another entity? How did the device improve the user’s life?
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Compared to State Financing Difference
AFP has optional questions on program policy Interest Rates Loan Amounts Repayment Terms Loan Guarantee Requirement
National Information System on Assistive Technology: May 2008
Differences cont. Geographic distribution is only on direct
users of loans closed, not on all applicants
Type of device – “other” is clarified to use farm equipment
Type of loan – total Revolving and Partnership loans
AFP Default – assigns a different term from Default Rate to Net Loss Rate% Data elements are the same
