    Title: Developmental Disabilities Protection & Advocacy Program

    OMB No.: 0980-0270.
    Description: Federal statute and regulation require each State 
Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare and submit to public

disabilities programs, only the PADD program requires an SGP. Following 
the required public input for the coming fiscal year, the P&As submit 
the final version of this SGP to the Administration on Developmental 
Disabilities (ADD). ADD will aggregate the information in the SGPs into 
a national profile of programmatic emphasis for P&A Systems in the 
coming year. This aggregation will provide ADD with a tool for 
monitoring of the public input requirement. Furthermore, it will 
provide an overview of program direction, and permit ADD to track 
accomplishments against goals/targets, permitting the formulation of 
technical assistance and compliance with the Government Performance and 
Results Act of 1993.
    Respondents: State and Tribal Governments.
