SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined as and includes agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The PRA requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each
proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
With respect to the following collection of information, ACL
invites comments on our burden estimates or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including:
(1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of ACL's functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
[[Page 48428]]
(2) the accuracy of ACL's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used to determine burden estimates;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
ACL contracts with a national legal assistance resource center, the
National Center on Law and Elder Rights, to provide the required
services. Through the contract, ACL provides aging, disability, and
related legal professionals with training and complex case
consultations and support for demonstration projects regarding
contractually identified priority legal topics. The purpose of the
information requested is for ACL to ensure that the resource center
creates and prioritizes the training, case consultations and technical
assistance resources it was contracted to provide and to ensure that
the center targets the contractually designated aging network
practitioners about the priority subject matters. This approach enables
ACL to make data-informed decisions about the deployment of its
resource center assets. These data are necessary for ACL to evaluate
contractual compliance with established performance indicators.
These metrics include quantifiable increases in uptake by
stakeholders of training, case consultation and technical assistance,
and measures of satisfaction with and perceived benefit from these
services. For example, the metrics measure successful problem
resolution as a result of the services provided and quantifiable data
on fulfillment of requests for training, technical assistance, and
consultation related to the contractually designated legal and systems
development topic areas. The information requested by ACL from legal
and aging/disability professionals falls into the following areas: (1)
Requests for training, case consultation, and technical assistance
through an online, secure Uniform Resource Support Request Tool; (2)
general requests for Legal Training (including the volume of Webinar
registrations), Case Consultation.
