    Abstract: The Annual Protection and Advocacy of Individual Rights 
(PAIR) Program Performance Report (Form Rehabilitative Services 
Administration (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. 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.
