    Description: The Administration on Aging (AoA) requires grantees 
funded under Title IV of the Older Americans Act, Pub. L. 89-73, 
enacted July 14, 1965, last amended on September 30, 1992, Pub. L. 102-
375, (42 U.S.C. 3034), to report semiannually on the performance of 
their projects. The specifications for reporting are consistent with 45 
CFR part 74, subpart J. This information serves to supplement the 
financial report, submitted on standard form OMB 269.
    Description: The information submitted by grantees will be used by 
AoA to:
    (1) Review and monitor grantees' progress in achieving project 
objectives;
    (2) Identify significant findings, products and practices of 
projects; and
    (3) Identify areas that may benefit from advice and assistance from 
AoA, and in rare instances, take corrective action.
    The performance report for Title IV grants is submitted 
semiannually, concurrent with the financial report, filed on standard 
form OMB 269. If these reports were made less frequently, opportunities 
for AoA to monitor and provide needed guidance would not be available 
to grantees.
    Additional Information: The AoA is requesting that OMB grant a 180-
day approval for this information collection under procedures for 
emergency processing by August 29, 1997. A copy of this individual ICR, 
with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by calling 
the Administration on Aging, Reports Clearance Officer, Sharon Matthews 
at (202) 205-2814.
    Comments and questions about the ICR should be directed to the 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Attn: Allison Eydt, OMB 
Desk Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503.

    Dated: August 22, 1997.
