ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing an 
opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed collection of 
information listed above. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(the PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish a notice in the 
Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, 
including each proposed extension of an existing collection of 
information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the 
notice. This notice solicits comments on the Proposed Revision and 
solicits comments on the information collection requirements related to 
Alzheimer's and Dementia Program Data Reporting Tool (ADP-DRT).

DATES: Comments on the collection of information must be submitted 
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or postmarked by September 14, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information 
to: Erin Long ([email protected]). Submit written comments on the 
collection of information to Administration for Community Living, 
Washington, DC 20201, Attention: Erin Long.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Long, Administration for 
Community Living, Washington, DC 20201, [email protected], 202-795-
7389.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, ACL is publishing a notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, ACL 
invites comments on our burden estimates or any other aspect of this 
collection of information, including:
    (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of ACL's functions, including whether the 
information will have practical utility;
    (2) the accuracy of ACL's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used to determine burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; 
and
    (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
    The Older American's Act requires ACL to evaluate ``demonstration 
projects that support the objectives of this Act, including activities 
to bring effective demonstration projects to scale with a 
prioritization of projects that address the needs of underserved 
populations, and promote partnerships among aging services, community-
based organizations, and Medicare and Medicaid providers, plans, and 
health (including public health) systems. (Section 201 (42 U.S.C. 3011) 
Sec. 127. Research and Evaluation).
    To fulfill the evaluation requirements and allow for optimal 
federal and state-level management of ACL's Alzheimer's Disease 
Program, specific information must be collected from grantees.
    The current reporting tool is set to expire June 22, 2020. The 
Alzheimer's and Dementia Program (ADP) Project Officer has reviewed the 
current data collection procedures to ensure the acceptability of these 
items as appropriate and thorough evaluation of the program, while 
minimizing burden for grantees.
    The result of this process is the proposed modifications to the 
existing data collection tool. ACL is aware that different grantees 
have different data collection capabilities. It is understood that, 
following the approval of the modified data collection tool, ACL will 
work with its grantees to offer regular training to ensure minimal 
burden.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website 
for review at https://nadrc.acl.gov/node/226.
    Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden associated with 
this collection of information as follows:
