SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is
requesting approval to collect data for the State Councils on
Developmental Disabilities (State Councils) Annual Program Performance
Report (PPR). On an annual basis, each Council must submit a PPR to
describe the extent of annual progress achievement on the 5-year State
plan goals. The PPR: (1) The Council as a planning document to track
progress made in meeting state plan goals; (2) the citizenry of the
State as a mechanism for monitoring progress and activities on the
plans of the Council; and (3) the Department as a stewardship tool for
ensuring compliance with the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and
Bill of Rights Act and for monitoring and providing technical
assistance (e.g., during site visits), and support for management
decision making.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice
A notice published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2021 in 86
FR 17152. There was one public comment received during the 60-day FRN.
Public comment indicated the performance measures are useful in
addressing impact and the burden hour for template completion was a
reasonable estimate. The respondent did indicate the need to streamline
some of the narrative reporting for ease of use. ACL will explore this
through additional grantee guidance and development of a web-based
reporting platform with user-friendly features, such as data cloning
and other such efficient features.
Estimated Program Burden
ACL estimates the burden associated with this collection of
information as follows: The total estimated hour burden per respondent
for the proposed DD Council PPR is 172 burden hours per response. The
number of hours to complete the PPR multiplied by 56 State Council
programs, results in a total estimated annual burden of 9,632. The
burden is reflective of performance measures introduced in the FFY
2017-2021 state plan cycle. These measures hone in on individual and
family advocacy, as well as systems change advocacy. One example of
these measures is a reporting of the number of promising and/or best
practices improved based on results of systems change activities. The
PPR is an opportunity for Councils to report on the actual data and
outcomes that resulted from carrying out the new State Plan activities.
This extension was previously pilot tested by a Performance Measures
Workgroup consisting of nine (9) State Council representatives. This
workgroup deemed the PPR necessary to accurately capture and report on
the progress of the State Councils. A separate workgroup consisting of
nine (9) different State Council representatives further discussed data
collection methodologies as it relates to the proposed PPR template.
This PPR offers a comprehensive categorization and approach to
collecting data necessary to report to Congress and other interested
entities.
