Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice

    In response to the 60-day Federal Register notice related to this 
proposed data collection and published on February 23, 2017, vol. 82, 
No. 35; pp. 11472-11473. No public comments to the evaluation materials 
were received, however; in an effort to maintain consistency between 
evaluation instruments, ACL has decided to change some of the wording 
and response options to Question 37 in the Tribal caregiver survey. 
This is in keeping with ACL's National Family Caregiver Support Program 
Evaluation Caregiver Survey as well as the National Evaluation of the 
Title III-C Services Client Outcomes Survey CAPI Questionnaire and does 
not substantively change the information being collected.

    Dated: June 13, 2017.
Daniel P. Berger,
Acting Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
