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) at the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS) is requesting a generic clearance for
purposes of conducting qualitative research to gain a better
understanding of emerging issues related to ACL's grantees, service
providers, and programs; develop future intramural and extramural
research projects; and to ensure HHS and ACL leadership, programs, and
staff can obtain timely and relevant data and information.
ACL defines qualitative feedback as information that provides
useful insights on perceptions and opinions but are not statistical
surveys that yield results that can be generalized beyond the
population of study. ACL is requesting approval for at least four types
of qualitative research: (a) Interviews, (b) focus groups, (c)
questionnaires, and (d) other qualitative methods.
ACL's mission is to maximize the independence, well-being, and
health of older adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan,
and their families and caregivers. ACL implements critical disability
and aging programs, serves as the advisor to the HHS Secretary on
disability and aging programs, works with other HHS agencies,
Departments and the White House on disability and aging policies, and
engages a range of disability and aging constituents to inform program
development and implementation. Integral to this role, ACL will use
this mechanism to conduct research, evaluation, and assessment to
understand the needs, barriers, or facilitators for ACL programs.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice
A 60-day notice for public comment published in the Federal
Register (Vol. 88, No. 32 pages 10121-10122) on Thursday, February 16,
2023. No public comments were received.
Estimated Program Burden
ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
A variety of instruments and platforms will be used to collect
information from respondents. The annual burden hours (5,043)
requested, and the anticipated number of respondents (10,086) are based
on the number of qualitative information collection requests (ICRs)
that were approved by OMB currently at ACL. Out of the total ICRs at
ACL, we estimated that that 30% of them have a qualitative research
component.
ACL used this information to develop the annual burden estimate
below. Therefore, we estimate that over the requested period for this
clearance (3 years) and approximately 30,258 respondents and 15,129
burden hours will be needed.
