AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.
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 Revised
Collection and solicits comments on the information collection
requirements related to the State Health Insurance Assistance Program
Annual Sub-Recipients Report.
DATES: Comments on the collection of information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or postmarked by September 29, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information

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 the PRA and includes agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The PRA 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 purpose of this data collection is to collect sub-award data
from grantees, including agency name, address, and annual federal funds
received. Congress requires this data collection for program monitoring
for the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) under the
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, SEC. 50207 (b). This data collection
allows the Administration for Community Living (ACL) and the Center for
Innovation and Partnership (CIP) to communicate with Congress and the
public on the SHIP network of agencies. This is a new data collection
requiring State SHIP grantees to provide the amount of federal funds
provided annually to each sub-contractor and sub-grantee that are
delivering SHIP services. The data collected will be will be
electronically posted on the ACL website to educate the network on who
the SHIP state sub-recipients are and how much money they are
receiving.
SHIP grantees are located in each of the 50 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The
respondents for this data collection are grantees who meet with
Medicare beneficiaries and older adults' in-group settings and in one-
on-one sessions to educate them on Medicare.
The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website
for review at https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
