Board staff is authorized to conduct the FR 3053 up to 20 times per year, although the survey may not be conducted that frequently. The frequency and content of the questions depends on changing economic, regulatory, or legislative developments as well as changes in the financial services industry itself. Respondents comprise individuals, households, and financial and nonfinancial businesses. The annual burden is estimated to be 6,550 hours, based on twenty surveys: Three quarterly consumer-focused, one quarterly financial institution study, and two semi-annual stakeholder-focused surveys. The surveys are used to gather qualitative and quantitative information directly from: Consumers (consumer surveys), financial institutions and other financial companies offering consumer financial products and services (financial institution survey), and other stakeholders, such as state or local agencies, community development organizations, brokers, appraisers, settlement agents, software vendors, and consumer groups (stakeholder surveys).

Program Description: The Administration on Aging, within the U.S. Administration for Community Living, has been funding the National Falls Prevention Resource Center (NFPRC) since 2014. The NFPRC works to increase public education about the risks of falls and how to prevent them, and supports and stimulates the implementation and dissemination of evidence-based community programs and strategies that have been proven to reduce the incidence of falls among seniors. The purpose of the NFPRC is to help provide consumers and professionals with the resources they need to help prevent falls and decrease falls risk among older adults and adults with disabilities. The NFPRC provides a variety of resources to the field and to ACL/AoA falls prevention grantees to support the broader implementation, dissemination, and sustainability of evidence-based falls prevention programs. Examples of resources include fact sheets, issue briefs, webinars, program descriptions, best practices, and consultation of national experts on falls prevention. The NFPRC VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:59 May 13, 2015 Jkt 235001 also increases public awareness and educates consumers about falls as a preventable public health problem through consumer materials, such as the ‘‘6 Steps to Prevent a Fall’’ infographic and the facilitation of the annual Falls Prevention Awareness Day across the country. Professional education is provided through the NFPRC’s Web site, collaboration with state falls prevention coalitions, partnerships with professional associations, presentations at professional conferences, and NFPRCconducted meetings. Justification: The purpose of this Supplement is to expand the National Falls Prevention Resource Center (NFPRC) activities in the following ways: (1) Increase coordination and support for evidence-based falls prevention programs.

When the NFPRC grant was initially awarded, ACL did not know if it would receive additional funding for more falls prevention grants. Subsequently, ACL received $5 million in FY2015 funds and now anticipates awarding 10 to 14 additional grants. The NFPRC will extend its efforts to encompass activities and support involving these additional grantees, which will require the NFPRC to secure additional resources, including staffing. In addition, the NFPRC would be able to expand the scope of its planned FY2016 meeting, which will focus on developing successful strategies to implement and sustain falls prevention programs, as well as provide opportunities for networking among evidence-based program implementers. (2) Follow-up from the National Falls Prevention Summit. The National Council on Aging hosted a National Falls Prevention Summit on April 30th, 2015. The purpose of this Summit was to update the 2005 Falls Free® National Action Plan, and to engage key stakeholders in developing steps to implement the revised Plan. The NFPRC will provide Summit follow-up to help move these efforts forward—working with national, state, and community partners to help prevent falls among older adults and adults with disabilities across the Nation.
