NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
 
The State Rehabilitation Council (SRC) of Hawaii and the Department of
Human Services, 
 
Vocational Rehabilitation and Services for the Blind Division (VRSBD),
will hold a public hearing to 
 
receive comments on the change to the State Plan for Vocational
Rehabilitation (VR) regarding 
 
implementation of the Order of Selection.
 
The VR Administrator has determined that the projected revenues and the
projected number of 
 
qualified personnel for the program in the next Federal fiscal year
(October 1, 2008 - September 
 
30, 2009) are inadequate to ensure the provision of the full range of
Vocational Rehabilitation, as 
 
appropriate to all eligible individuals.  Therefore, the Vocational
Rehabilitation Administrator 
 
declared the division under Order of Selection for Vocational
Rehabilitation services effective 
 
October 6, 2008 and that no priority categories can be served.
