DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Community Living


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Alzheimer's and Dementia Program Data 
Reporting Tool (ADP-DRT) (Previously Entitled: Alzheimer's Disease 
Supportive Services Program Data Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DRT) and 
Alzheimer's disease Initiative-- Specialized Supportive Services (ADI- 
SSS) project))

AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the Administration on Aging 
(AoA), Administration for Community Living (ACL), is announcing that 
the proposed collection of information listed above has been submitted 
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 
as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice 
collects comments on the information collection requirements relating 
to the continuation of an existing data collection for the Alzheimer's 
and Dementia Program Data Reporting Tool (ADP-PDR) and expansion of 
this collection to incorporate ACL grantees of the Alzheimer's Disease 
Initiative-- Specialized Supportive Services (ADI-SSS) project.

DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
January 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
fax to (202) 395-5806 or by email to [email protected], Attn: 
OMB Desk Officer for ACL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Long, (202) 795-7389; 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services 
Program (ADSSP) is authorized through Sections 398, 399 and 399A of the 
Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended by Public Law 101-557, the 
Home Health Care and Alzheimer's disease Amendments of 1990. The ADSSP 
helps state efforts to expand the availability of community-level 
supportive services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their 
caregivers, including underserved populations. ADI-SSS projects are 
financed solely by Prevention and Public Health Funds. Similar in scope 
to ADSSP, ADI-SSS projects are designed to fill gaps in dementia-
capable home and community based services (HCBS) for persons living 
with or those at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and 
related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers by providing quality, 
person-centered services that help them remain independent and safe in 
their communities. In compliance with the PHS Act, ACL revised the 
ADSSP Data Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DRT) in 2013 to add demographic data, 
information on the individuals trained, and service and expenditure 
data. The 2016 revised Alzheimer's and Dementia Program Data Reporting 
Tool (ADP-DRT) retains these changes and has been expanded to collect 
information about the delivery of direct services by both ADSSP and 
ADI-SSS grantees, as well as basic demographic information about 
service recipients.
    Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice:
    A 60-day Federal Register Notice was published in the Federal 
Register on August 23, 2016, Vol. 18, No. 136; pp. 57591. There was one 
public comment received pertaining to the categories for living 
arrangements. The comment suggested that the categories needed to have 
a clear definition. ACL accepted the comment, and the tool was revised 
by condensing the categories and providing an update to its definition 
of categories for living arrangements. The proposed ADP-DRT can be 
found on AoA's Web site at: https://nadrc.acl.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/docs/Proposed%20ADP-DRT%20Update%2011_30_2016.xlsx.
    Annual Burden Estimates: The estimated hourly burden for this 
revised ADP-DRT is based on the number of persons served in the most 
recent ADSSP and ADI grantee data

submission. In addition, the burden hours per response were determined 
based on reports from a sample of ADSSP and ADI grants.
