Performance Report (0985-NEW)
AGENCY: Administration for Community Living (ACL), 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. This 30-Day notice collects comments on the
information collection requirements related to Centers for Independent
Living Program Performance Report (New Data Collection (ICR New)).
DATES: Comments on the information collection request must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or postmarked by January 25, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by:
(a) email to: [email protected], Attn: OMB Desk Officer
for ACL;
(b) fax to 202.395.5806, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for ACL; or
(c) by mail to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB, New Executive Office Bldg., 725 17th St. NW, Rm. 10235,

Community Living, Washington, DC 20201, (202) 795-7606 or
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance. The Act of 1973 requires three Independent Living
program reports: (1) State Plan for Independent Living, (2) Independent
Living Services (ILS) Program Performance Report (PPR), and (3) Centers
for Independent Living (CIL) PPR. The ILS PPR and CIL PPR were
previously combined into one submission. However, for the purposes of
this data collection, the ILS PPR and CIL PPR are being submitted
separately because they are separate collections of different
information from different parties. This will result in a new OMB
approval number for the CIL program. Separating these PRA processes
reduces confusion and increases the Independent Living Administration's
(ILA) ability to identify issues specific to DSEs and Statewide
Independent Living Councils. This request is for the CIL PPR, which is
submitted annually by all CILs receiving Subchapter C funds. The CIL
PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees' compliance with title VII of
the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and
with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75.
The CIL PPR serves as the primary basis for ACL's monitoring activities
in fulfillment of its responsibilities under sections 706 and 722 of
the Act. The CIL PPR enables ACL to track performance outcomes and
efficiency measures of the CIL programs with respect to the annual and
long-term performance targets established in compliance with GPRA. The
PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical
assistance programs authorized by section 721 of the Act.
The current version of the CIL PPR that ILA is requesting an
extension for was approved by OMB, but will expire on December 31,
2018. ILA plans to publish a revised CIL program data collection
instrument before the expiration of the extension request.

Estimated Program Burden
ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows: 353 Centers for Independent Living will each complete one CIL
PPR annually, and it will take an estimated 35 hours per CIL for an
estimated total of 12,355 hours. This burden estimate is based partly
on ILA's estimates of how long CILs take to find the information that
PPRs ask for and partly on what CILs have told ILA about how long CILs
spend filling out PPRs.
