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. Section 
3506(c)(2)(A) of 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 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, and Long Term 
Care Ombudsman expenditures. The proposed data collection tools are on 
the ACL website for review and public comment, please visit https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
    Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden associated with 
this collection of information as follows: 56 State Units on Aging 
(SUA) respond semi-annually which have an average estimated burden of 2 
hours per grantee for a total of 224 hours annually.
