In compliance with the PHS Act, ACL
revised an ADSSP Data Reporting Tool
(ADSSP–DRT) in 2013. The 2016
revised Alzheimer’s and Dementia
Program Data Reporting Tool (ADP–
DRT) collects information about the
delivery of direct services by ADSSP
and ADI–SSS grantees, as well as basic
demographic information about service
recipients. The 2016 version includes
revisions to the approved 2013 version.
The revised version would be in effect
beginning 12/31/2016 and thereafter.
The proposed ADP–DRT can be found
on AoA’s Web site at: https://

This notice seeks to collect
comments on revisions to an existing

Advocacy Systems Program
Performance Report (0985–0027). State
Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems

individual legal advocacy, systemic
advocacy, monitoring and investigations

Administration on Intellectual and

a report that describes the activities and
accomplishments of the system during
the preceding fiscal year and a
Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP)
(0985–0034) for each coming fiscal year.
P&As are required to annually report on
‘‘the activities, accomplishments, and
expenditures of the system during the
preceding fiscal year, including a
description of the system’s goals, the
extent to which the goals were achieved,
barriers to their achievement, the
process used to obtain public input, the
nature of such input, and how such
input was used.’’ To meet it statutory
reporting requirements, P&As have used
separate forms for submitting the annual
report (0985–0027) and the SGP (0985–
0034). It is proposed that the two be
combined by creating the Protection and
Advocacy Annual Program Performance
Report and Statement of Goals and
Priorities form. By combining the forms,
P&As will have a reduced burden by
submitting only one report annually.
The combined form will also allow
federal reviewers to analyze patterns
more readily between goals and priority
setting and program performance. The
annual program performance report
(PPR) and SGP is reviewed by federal
staff for compliance and program
outcomes. Information in the PPRs and
SGPs is analyzed to create a national
profile of programmatic compliance,
program outcomes, and goals and
priorities for P&A Systems. These
profiles are used to track
accomplishments against goals, develop
technical assistance, and determine
compliance with Federal requirements.
Information collected in the unified
report also will inform AIDD of trends
in P&A advocacy, collaboration with
other federally-funded entities, and best
practices for efficient use of federal
funds.

30 day Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
In compliance with section
3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, has submitted an
Information Collection Request (ICR),
described below, to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval. The ICR is for
revision of the approved information
collection assigned OMB control
number 0990–0275, scheduled to expire
on 08/31/2016. Comments submitted
during the first public review of this ICR
will be provided to OMB. OMB will
accept further comments from the
public on this ICR during the review
and approval period.
SUMMARY:
Comments on the ICR must be
received on or before September 22,
2016.
DATES:
Submit your comments to
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov or via
facsimile to (202) 395–5806.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Information Collection Clearance staff,
Information.CollectionClearance@
hhs.gov or (202) 690–6162.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When
submitting comments or requesting
information, please include the OMB
control number 0990–0275 and
document identifier HHS–OS–0990–
0275–30D–for reference.
Information Collection Request Title:
Performance Data System (PDS).
OMB No.: 0990–0275.
Abstract: This request for clearance is
to revise data collection activities and
extend by three (3) years a currently
approved collection using the OMB
approved Performance Data System
(PDS) (OMB No. 0990–0275), the tool
used by the Office of Minority Health
(OMH) to collect program management
and performance data for all OMHfunded projects. The revised data
collection activities pertain only to
current questions about grantee use of
social media. The modified social media
questions in PDS will be more
applicable to OMH grantees, more easily
understood, and collect more accurate
quantitative metrics. Grantee data
collection via the UDS (original data
collection system) was first approved by
OMB on June 7, 2004 (OMB No. 0990–
275). OMB approval was also received
for modifications to the UDS (August
23, 2007), which upgraded the data
ADDRESSES:
collection tool from the UDS to the PDS
(August 31, 2010). A 3-year extension
without change of the approved PDS
collection was approved August 1, 2013.
Clearance is due to expire on August 31,
2016.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The clearance is needed to
continue data collection using the PDS,
a system that enables OMH to comply
with Federal reporting requirements and
monitor and evaluate performance by
enabling the efficient collection of
performance-oriented data tied to OMHwide performance reporting needs. The
ability to monitor and evaluate
performance in this manner, and to
work towards continuous program
improvement are basic functions that
OMH must be able to accomplish in
order to carry out its mandate with the
most effective and appropriate use of
resources. The revision of the social
media questions is necessary because
social media platforms, such as
Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, are
becoming increasingly utilized by
grantees for their usability, free access,
and ability to reach a larger audience.
The revised questions will lead to
increased data collection completeness
and quality.
Likely Respondents: Respondents for
this data collection include the project
directors for OMH-funded projects and/
or the date entry persons for each OMHfunded project. Affected public includes
non-profit institutions, State, Local, or
Tribal Governments.
The total annual burden hours
estimated for this ICR are summarized
in the table below.
