SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is an extension to a currently approved 
information collection (IC). ACL is responsible for administering the 
Title VI A/B (Nutrition and Supportive Service) and C (Caregiver) 
grants. The purpose of this data collection is to improve and 
standardize the format of the application. The instrument will collect 
data as prescribed by the Older Americans Act Section 612(a), 614(a) 
and 45 CFR 1326.19 related to the eligibility of Federally recognized 
Tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations for grant funds under this 
program and their capacity to deliver services to elders.
    The Older Americans Act, Application for Title VI Parts A/B and C 
Grants collects information on the ability of federally recognized 
American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian organizations to 
provide nutrition, supportive, and caregiver services to elders within 
their service area. Applicants are required to provide a description of 
their organization's service area, the number of eligible elders in 
their service area, and their ability to deliver services and sign 
assurances that the organization will comply with all applicable laws 
and regulations.
    This is an extension of a currently approved information 
collection. The proposed data collection materials have been updated to 
better align with the requirements of the Older Americans Act and 
Federal regulations, as well as to improve data quality and grantee 
accountability. Furthermore, this grantee application will better line 
up with the Title VI Program Performance Report under 0985-0007. This 
data collection will also support ACL in tracking performance outcomes 
and efficiency measures with respect to the annual and long-term 
performance targets established in compliance with the Government 
Performance Results Modernization Act (GPRMA).

Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice

    A notice published in the Federal Register 87, No. 126 on Friday, 
July 1, 2022. There were No public comments in response to the 60-day 
notice.
    Estimated Program Burden: Title VI funding is broken into three 
categories. Parts A and B are for nutritional and supportive 
programming, with Part A being restricted to American Indian and Alaska 
Native grantees, and Part B restricted to Native Hawaiian grantees. 
Part C is for caregiver programming. All Part C grantees must have Part 
A/B

funding, but not all Part A/B grantees will have Part C programs. 
Therefore, there are likely to be 295 unique respondents, but only 250 
will have to complete all three portions of the application. This 
application covers all three parts of Title VI.
    ACL estimates the burden associated with this collection of 
information as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                     Number of     Responses per     Hours per    Annual  burden
       Respondent/data collection activity          respondents     respondent       response          hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title VI Application Part A/B...................             295               1            2.75           270.4
Title VI Application Part C.....................             250               1             1.5             125
                                                 ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Total.......................................  ..............  ..............            4.25           395.4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The number of burden hours associated with the Title VI, Part C, 
data collection was calculated as 811.25.
    However, since this instrument is used only once every three years 
results in an annualized number of 270.4 hours. Similarly, the total 
hours associated with the Title VI, Part C, application is 375.
