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. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
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) 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 using automated collection techniques when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology. The National
Survey of Older Americans Act (OAA) Participants information collection
includes consumer assessment surveys for the Congregate and Home-
delivered meal nutrition programs; Case Management, Homemaker, and
Transportation Services; and the National Family Caregiver Support
Program. This survey builds on earlier national pilot studies and
surveys, as well as performance measurement tools developed by ACL
grantees in the Performance Outcomes Measures Project (POMP). Changes
identified as a result of these initiatives were incorporated into the
last data collection package that was approved by OMB and are included
in this proposed extension of a currently approved collection.
This information will be used by ACL to track performance outcome
measures; support budget requests; comply with the GPRA Modernization
Act of 2010 (GPRMA) reporting requirements; provide national benchmark
information; and inform program development and management initiatives.
Copies of the survey instruments and data from previous National
Surveys of OAA Participants can be found and queried using the Aging,
Independence, and Disability (AGID) Program Data Portal at <a href="https://agid.acl.gov/">https://agid.acl.gov/</a>. The proposed data collection tools may be found on the
ACL website at <a href="https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input">https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input</a>.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the annual burden
associated with this collection of information as follows:
