    ACL/AoA proposes to use this set of data collection tools to 
monitor grantees receiving cooperative agreements in response to the 
funding opportunity: ``PPHF--2014--Evidence-Based Falls Prevention 
Programs Financed Solely by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds 
(PPHF-2014).'' This data collection is necessary for monitoring grant 
program operations and outcomes. ACL/AoA proposes to gather information 
to monitor grantee progress, record location of sponsoring agencies and 
sites where programs are held, and document falls program participant 
attendance and health and demographic characteristics and short-term 
post participation impact. ACL/AoA intends

to use an online data entry system for the program and participant 
survey data. In response to the 60-day Federal Register notice related 
to this proposed data collection and published on June 27, 2014, four 
sets of relevant comments were received. Most of the comments were 
minor suggestions for improving the ease of use and acceptability of 
the data collection tools. The originally proposed data collection 
tools, the comments with responses and a revised set of data collection 
tools may be found on the ACL/AoA Web site at: http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/AoA_Programs/Tools_Resources/collection_tools.aspx. ACL/AoA estimates the burden of this 
collection of information as 224 hours for project staff, 820 hours for 
local agency and database entry staff, and 2,000 hours for individuals. 
Total burden is 3,044 hours per year.
