Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grants to States Program.
    Type of Request: New. The Health Resources and Services 
Administration previously administered this program.
    Use: Consistent with section 398 of the Public Health Service Act, 
as amended, the AoA requires grantees to collect and report basic 
client data as part of an overall program evaluation effort. The data 
collected is used, in aggregate, by AoA to analyze the success and 
accomplishments of the program, better target resources, and make 
informed programmatic and policy decisions. Analysis of this data also 
serves as the basis for the statutorily required report to Congress.
    Frequency: Quarterly to Annual, depending on data type, for 
duration of grant.
    Respondents: 25 Alzheimer's Disease Demonstration Grants to States 
Program grantees.
    Estimated number of respondents: The 25 program grantees will 
obtain data from approximately 125 local service agencies.
    Estimated burden hours: 1,713 per year (68.5/ state/ year).
    Additional Information: The data collection protocol consists of a 
client intake (conducted only once for each person served), quarterly 
service utilization reports, and an annual agency profile report. Most 
data elements in this collection are basic and essential elements of 
existing functional and service assessments that will be conducted by 
grantees as part of normal service provision. Only states that have 
voluntarily applied for and been awarded a grant under the Alzheimer's 
Demonstration Program are required to provide these data. A copy of the 
data collection instrument may be obtained from: Melanie K. Starns,
