Public Information Collection Requirement to Be Submitted to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Clearance

AGENCY: Administration on Aging, HHS.
    The Administration on Aging (AoA), Department of Health and Human 
Services, proposes to submit to the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) the following proposal for the collection of information in 
compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 96-511):
    Title of Information Collection: State Performance Report (SPR): 
Reporting Requirements for Titles III and VII of the Older Americans 
Act.
    Type of Request: Extension.
    Use: To extend the expiration date of the currently approved 
information collection form without any change in substance or the 
method of collection. This form conforms to the requirements of the 
Older Americans Act, as amended.
    Frequency: Annual.
    Respondents: State Agencies on Aging.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 57.
    Total Estimated Burden Hours: 141,132.
    Additional Information or Comments: The Administration on Aging 
proposes to submit to the Office of Management and Budget for approval 
an extension of the existing information collection form for the state 
programs administered under the Older Americans Act. The AoA last 
announced reporting specifications for the current form in the Federal 
Register on February 13, 1996.
    The Office of Management and Budget approved use of the current 
collection instrument subject to two conditions. First, that the 
Administration on Aging should be flexible in providing state-specific 
extensions of the compliance deadline for the FY 1997 SPR. The 
Administration on Aging has complied with that request. Secondly, OMB 
requested that the next submission for review include an analysis of 
state compliance with the November 30, 1996 deadline. This analysis has 
been prepared and will be submitted to OMB.
    For copies of the reporting requirements and/or a copy of the 
analysis of states' compliance with the November 30, 1996 deadline call 
the Administration on Aging, Office of State and Community Programs at 
(202) 619-0011. Written comments and recommendations for the 
information collection requirements should be sent within sixty days of 
the publication of this notice directly to the following address: Edwin 
L. Walker, Director, Office of Program Operations and Development, 
Administration on Aging, 330 Independence Avenue S.W., Washington, DC 
20201.

    Dated: February 4, 1999.
