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 Administration on Disabilities
Evaluation of Technical Assistance for Independent Living Grantees.
ACL is currently engaged in an effort to better understand the
implementation and effectiveness of the technical assistance (TA)
provided to Independent Living (IL) grantees (Centers for Independent
Living (CILs), statewide independent living councils (SILCs), and
designated state entities (DSEs)).
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended authorizes the IL
grantees to provide, expand, and improve independent living services
for people with disabilities. Title VII, Part C authorizes funding to
CILs.
Section 711A(a) requires ACL to reserve funds for training and TA
to SILCs, and section 721(b)(1) requires ACL to reserve funds for
training and TA to CILs.
TA efforts can support IL grantees in creating and maintaining
effective organizations and services. TA, such as one-on-one TA, peer-
to-peer mentoring, and webinars, is made available by the Independent
Living Research Utilization (ILRU) program, the Association of Programs
for Rural Independent Living (APRIL), the National Association of
Statewide Independent Living Councils (NASILC), the National Council on
IL (NCIL), and the TA centers that ACL funds, including the Disability
Employment TA Center (DETAC) and the Federal Housing and Services
Resource Center (HSRC) (referred to as AoD TA providers).
Although ACL monitors these AoD TA providers activities, the
effectiveness of the TA approach has yet to be assessed. The goal of
this data-collection effort is to provide ACL with IL-grantee feedback
on the TA approach, including what elements are effective, that can be
incorporated into a future TA strategy that is most beneficial to IL
grantees. In this IC, ACL will be surveying a total of approximately
464 Part C CILs, DSEs, and SILCs. The web-based survey will be sent
electronically to representatives from all Part C CILs, SILCs, and
DSEs. ACL will provide the survey in alternative modes, such as by mail
or telephone, on grantee request an alternative mode can be provided.
Results from this survey will provide ACL with a better understanding
of the implementation and effectiveness of the current TA approach from
the perspective of IL grantees.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice
There were no public comments received during the 60-day FRN.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows: The survey will be sent to
approximately 464 representatives of CILs, SILCs, and DSEs. The
approximate burden for web-based survey completion will be 25 minutes
per respondent, which includes time to review the instructions, read
the questions, and complete responses. This results in a total survey
burden estimate of 11,600 minutes, which is 193.333 hours.
