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 in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) 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 collection of information described below, ACL
invites comments on our burden
[[Page 58357]]
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) 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.
The State Councils on Developmental Disabilities (Councils) are
authorized by Subtitle B of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance
and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act), as amended, [42 U.S.C. 15001
et seq.] (The DD Act). The DD Act requires Councils to submit an annual
Program Performance Report. Section 125(c)(7) (42 U.S.C. 15025), states
that: Beginning in fiscal year 2002, the Council shall annually prepare
and transmit to the Secretary a report. Each report shall be in a form
prescribed by the Secretary by regulation under section 104(b). Each
report shall contain information about the progress made by the Council
in achieving the goals of the Council as specified in section
124(c)(4)).
The Council is responsible for the development and submission of
the PPR, and for reporting on performance measure data related to its
progress in carrying out the goals and objectives of the State Plan.
The data collected in the PPR and submitted to ACL is also used to
comply with the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA). Performance
measure results are reported to Congress under GPRAMA.
This is a revision of a currently approved information collection
that expires in 2023. To ensure the DD Council PPR is consistent with
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, ACL intends to determine
whether the sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data elements
need to be adapted prior to adding them to ensure accessibility of the
questions for individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities.
This IC will also include elements needed to account for the
activities supported by funding from the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) to support access to vaccines for people with
disabilities as well as the funds awarded under the American Rescue
Plan to increase the Public Health Workforce (PHWF). All other elements
of the template remain consistent with previously approved performance
measures and corresponds to requirements in the DD Act.
The information collected from the DD Councils is used for multiple
purposes:
(1) To develop and submit at least every two years a report to the
President, Congress, and the National Council on Disability that
describes the goals and outcomes of programs supported under the DD
Act.
(2) As a tool for DD Councils to measure and report on progress in
reaching goals and identify areas for which revisions are indicated;
(3) To enhance the Federal project officers' monitoring of DD
Council progress in reaching projected outcomes;
(4) As a set of performance measures that will yield a national
portrait of DD Council program impact; and
(5) For Congress and the Administration in making funding and
appropriation decisions with regard to the DD Council program.
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>.
Estimated Program Burden: Based on DD Council reporting experience,
current data and reporting efforts constitute approximately 238 burden
hours per grantee for a total of 1,556 hours. The table below outlines
the estimate for the hours of burden associated with the collection of
information. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 13,328.
