Administration for Community Living


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request; Revision of a Currently Approved Information 
Collection (ICR-Rev) (OMB Approval Number 0985-0004); Title III 
Supplemental Form to the Financial Status Report (SF-425)

AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The 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 section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA). This 30-day notice requests comments 
on the information collection requirements related to the proposed 
revision of an existing data collection regarding the information 
collection requirements in the Title III Supplemental Form to the 
Financial Status Report for all ACL/AoA Title III Grantees.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of 
information by October 27, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information: by 
fax at 202.395.5806 or by email to [email protected], Attn: 
OMB Desk Officer for ACL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jesse Moore at (202) 795-7578 or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with Section 44 U.S.C. 3507, 
ACL has submitted the following proposed collection of information to 
OMB for review and clearance. ACL is requesting approval for three 
years of an extension of the currently approved data collection with 
modifications.
    The Title III Supplemental Form to the Financial Status Report (SF-
425) is used by ACL/AoA for all grantees to obtain a more detailed 
understanding of how projects funded under Title III of the Older 
Americans Act (OAA) of 1965, as amended, are being administered, and to 
ensure compliance with legislative requirements, pertinent Federal 
regulations and other applicable instructions and guidelines issued by 
the ACL. The level of data detail necessary is not available through 
the SF-425 form. The Supplemental Form provides necessary details on 
non-federal required match, administration expenditures, Older Relative 
Caregivers expenditures, and Long Term Care Ombudsman expenditures.
    In addition to renewing OMB approval of this data collection, minor 
changes are being proposed to it to reflect changes in statutory 
language that occurred as a result of the 2016 reauthorization of the 
OAA. Specifically, the term ``Grandparents Only'' has been changed to 
``Older Relative Caregivers,'' the new term in the OAA that describes 
this population of eligible service recipients. Similarly, the 
accompanying instructions for completing the Title III Supplemental 
Form to the Financial Status Report were also modified to include this 
same language. References in the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) have 
been updated addressing financial reporting requirements and non-
substantive technical edits have been made to the instructions.
