Federal statute and regulation require each State Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare and solicit public comment on a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP) for the P&A for Developmental Disabilities (PADD) program for each coming fiscal year. While the P&A is mandated to protect and advocate under a range of different federally authorized disabilities programs, only the PADD program requires an SGP. Following the required public input for the coming fiscal year, the P&As submit the final version of this SGP to the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD). AIDD will aggregate the information in the SGPs into a national profile of programmatic emphasis for P&A Systems in the coming year. This aggregation will provide AIDD with a tool for monitoring of the public input requirement. Furthermore, it will provide an overview of program direction, and permit AIDD to track accomplishments against goals/targets, permitting the formulation of technical assistance and compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
