DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Administration for Community Living


Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request; State Program Report; OMB #0985-0008

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. This 30-Day notice collects comments on the 
information collection requirements related to Proposed Revision for 
the information collection requirements related to the State Program 
Report.

DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
December 12, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 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, 
Washington, DC 20503, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for ACL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Jenkins, Director, Office of 
Performance and Evaluation, Administration for Community Living, 
Washington, DC 20201, Phone: (202) 795-7369, Email: 
[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 Older Americans Act (OAA) requires annual program performance 
reports from States, the District of Columbia, and Territories. In 
compliance with this OAA provision, ACL developed a SPR in 1996 as part 
of its National Aging Program Information System (NAPIS). The SPR 
collects information about how State Agencies on Aging expend their OAA 
funds as well as funding from other sources for OAA authorized 
supportive services. The SPR also collects information on the 
demographic and functional status of the recipients, and is a key 
source for ACL performance measurement.
    ACL is requesting approval from OMB to continue collecting data 
after expiration on 12/31/2019. This is a revision request to the 2016 
approved version of the Reporting Requirements for Title III and VII 
State Program Report Definitions. The currently approved version of the 
State Program Report (SPR) includes language intended for usage in FY 
2023. Since these data elements are not required for usage until FY 
2023, under the Paperwork Reduction Act ACL is required to update the 
information collection (IC) to contain only the language and 
requirements for collection years 2020-2023. Removing the proposed FY 
2023 language from the currently approved SPR causes a revision to OMB 
0985-0008. ACL intends to seek OMB approval under a new OMB control 
number for the FY 2023-2026 data elements allowing usage of 0985-0008 
until the new IC is approved and ready for usage.
