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;
(2) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(3) 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;
(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.
(5) ways to ensure that ACL is gathering necessary and relevant
demographic information to assess diversity and equity in evidence-
based program scaling and participation, and advances the Executive
Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved
Communities Through the Federal Government and the Executive Order on
Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and
Intersex Individuals.
The Evidence-Based Chronic Disease Self-Management Education
(CDSME) Grant Program is financed through the Prevention and Public
Health Fund (PPHF). The statutory authority for cooperative agreements
under the most recent program announcement (FY 2022) is contained in
the Older Americans Act, Title IV; and the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. 300u-11 (Prevention and Public Health
Fund). The CDSME Grant Program supports a National CDSME Resource
Center that provides technical assistance, education, and resources for
the national CDSME network of partners, and awards competitive grants
to implement and promote the sustainability of evidence-based CDSME
programs that have been proven to provide older adults and adults with
disabilities with education and tools to help them better manage
chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, chronic
pain, and depression. OMB approval of the existing set of CDSME data
collection tools (OMB Control Number, 0985-0036) expires on 11/30/2022.
This data collection continues to be necessary for the monitoring of
program operations and outcomes.
ACL currently uses and proposes to continue to use a set of tools
to collect information for each program including: (1) Program
Information Cover Sheet and Attendance Log, to be completed by the
program leaders; and a (2) Participant Information Survey to be
completed by participants on a voluntary basis before or at the
beginning of the first program session and to answer three questions at
the last session to document their demographic and health
characteristics. ACL/AoA intends to continue using an online data entry
system for the program and participant survey data.
During the 60-day public comment period, ACL intends to analyze
public comments received, conduct focus groups that includes a sub-set
of current CDSME grantees, as well as consult with subject-matter
experts to gather feedback and determine if changes to the data
collection tools are warranted.
The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website
for review at <a href="https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input">https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input</a>.
