SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the 
Administration for Community Living (ACL) has submitted the following 
proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. The 
Older American's Act requires that ACL evaluate demonstration projects 
intended to be brought to scale. It also requires prioritization of 
projects that address the needs of underserved populations and promote 
partnerships between community-based service providers.
    To fulfill the evaluation requirements and allow for optimal 
federal and state-level management of ACL's Alzheimer's Disease 
Programs Initiative (ADPI), specific information must be collected from 
grantees. The current reporting tool is set to expire December 31, 
2023. The ADPI Project Officer has reviewed the current data collection 
procedures to ensure the acceptability of these items as appropriate 
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.
    This information collection collects demographic data from people 
receiving programs and services funded by HHS. ACL will adhere to best 
practices for collection of all demographic information when this 
information is collected for the programs listed in accordance with OMB 
guidance.
    This includes, but is not limited to, guidance specific to the 
collection of sexual orientation and gender identity

[[Page 89699]]

(SOGI) items that align with Executive Order 13985 on Advancing Racial 
Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal 
Government, Executive Order 14075 on Advancing Equality for Lesbian, 
Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals, and 
Executive Order 13988 on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the 
Basis of Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. Understanding these 
disparities can and should lead to improved service delivery for ACL's 
programs and populations served.
