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 request 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, before 
submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this 
requirement, ACL is publishing notice of the proposed collection of 
information set forth in this document. With respect to the following 
collection of information, ACL invites comments on: (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; (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 through the use of automated 
collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology. The template may be found on the ACL Web site at http://www.acl.gov/NewsRoom/NewsInfo/docs/FFR-ACL-AoA-TitleIII-Supplemental_SF-425.pdf.
    The supplemental form to the Financial Status Report for all ACL/
AoA Title III Grantees provides an understanding of how projects funded 
by the Older Americans Act are being administered by grantees, in 
conformance with legislative requirements, pertinent Federal 
regulations and other applicable instructions and guidelines issued by 
the Administration for Community Living (ACL). This information will be 
used for Federal oversight of Title III projects. ACL estimates the 
burden of this collection of information as follows: 56 State Units on 
Aging (SUA) respond semi-annually which should have an average burden 
of 2 hours per grantee for a total of 112 hours per submission.

    Dated: April 8, 2014.

Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
