SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The State
Plan for Independent Living (SPIL)
Public Law (105–220) for the State
Independent Living (SILS) and Centers
for Independent Living (CIL) program
authorized by title VII, chapter 1, of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended
by the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA, Pub. L. 113–
128) [Rehabilitation Act]. States are
required to submit an approvable SPIL
in order to receive federal funding
under the State Independent Living
Services (SILS) and Centers for
Independent Living (CIL) programs
authorized by title VII, chapter 1, of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(Pub. L. 105–220). The SPIL
encompasses the activities planned by
the state to achieve its specified
independent living objectives and
reflects the state’s commitment to
comply with all applicable statutory and
regulatory requirements during the three
years covered by the plan. Part I of the
SPIL is a series of assurances, or
statements of compliance, based on
legal and regulatory provisions
governing the SILS and CIL programs.
Part II of the SPIL consists of narrative
sections in which the state describes its
independent living objectives, services,
activities and operational details.
If the SPIL is not extended and the
data collection not conducted, ACL will
not be authorized to fund the IL
programs and, as a result, the
availability of independent living
services in the states will be severely
limited.
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 request
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 notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.

With respect to the following collection
of information, ACL invites comments
on: (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; (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 Independent Living Program is
required by federal statute and
regulation requires the collection of this
information every three years. The
three-year period for the next SPIL is FY
2017–2019. The SPIL provided in
writing to the Administration for
Community Living, Administration on
Disabilities, Independent Living
Administration. The five core services
are: Advocacy, information and referral,
independent living skills training, peer
counseling, and transition services.
WIOA included three prongs to the 5th
core service:
• Facilitating the transition of
individuals with significant disabilities
from nursing homes and other
institutions to home and communitybased residences, with the requisite
supports and services;
• Provide assistance to individuals
with significant disabilities who are at
risk of entering institutions so that the
individuals may remain in the
community, and
• Facilitate the transition of youth
who are individuals with significant
disabilities, who were eligible for
individualized education programs
under section 614(d) of the Individuals
with Disabilities Act (20 U.S.C.
1414(d)), and who have completed their
secondary education or otherwise left
school, to postsecondary life.
ILA to track grant activities and create
the annual reports, to Congress. ACL
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows: 56 SPIL
respond annually which should be an
average burden of 3,360 hours per State
per year.
