Abstract: The OGE Form 278 collects
information from certain officers and
high-level employees in the executive
branch for conflicts of interest review
and public disclosure. The form is also
completed by individuals who are
nominated by the President for highlevel executive branch positions
requiring Senate confirmation and new
entrants to other public reporting
positions in the executive branch. The
financial information collected relates
to: Assets and income; transactions;
gifts, reimbursements and travel
expenses; liabilities; agreements or
arrangements; outside positions; and
compensation over $5,000 paid by a
source—all subject to various reporting
thresholds and exclusions. The
information is collected in accordance
with section 102 of the Ethics in
Government Act, 5 U.S.C. app. section
102, as amended by the Stop Trading on
Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012
(Public Law 112–105) (STOCK Act) and
OGE’s implementing financial
disclosure regulations at 5 CFR part
2634.
OGE published a first round notice of
its intent to request paperwork
clearance for a modified OGE Form 278e
Executive Branch Personnel Public
Financial Disclosure Report. See 81 FR
71503 (October 17, 2016). OGE received
two responses, one of which did not
actually address the information
collection. The other response suggested
E:\FR\FM\24JAN1.SGM
24JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 14 / Tuesday, January 24, 2017 / Notices
that the form require additional
information and opposes the changes on
the grounds that they would
‘‘streamline’’ the form and reduce
transparency. OGE declined to adopt
these recommendations. The
information required on the form is
dictated by the Ethics in Government
Act, as amended, and OGE’s
implementing regulations. With regard
to the changes made to the form, OGE
believes that they make the form more
user-friendly and more clear and
therefore improve, not impede,
transparency.
Request for Comments: Agency and
public comment is again invited
specifically on the need for and
practical utility of this information
collection, the accuracy of OGE’s
burden estimate, the enhancement of
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected, and the
minimization of burden (including the
use of information technology).
Comments received in response to this
notice will be summarized for, and may
be included with, the OGE request for
extension of OMB paperwork approval.
The comments will also become a
matter of public record.
Approved: January 17, 2017.

Director, Office of Government Ethics.

concerning each proposed collection of
information (including each proposed
extension or reinstatement of an existing
collection of information) and to allow

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mary Darnell, 202–795–7337.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 requests
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 a notice
of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding our burden
estimates or any other aspect of this
collection of information, including any
of the following subjects: (1) The
necessity and utility of the proposed
information collection for the proper
performance of the agency’s functions;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (4) the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection
burden.
Proposed Collection: Annual and
Final Performance Reporting (APR)
Forms for NIDILRR Grantees.
The forms included in this package
are revised versions of those used by
grantees in the following 10 programs to
submit their Annual and Final
Performance Reports for Reporting Year

The APR includes common
information and information specific to
individual programs. The final report is
a subset of items from the annual report
and provides a summary of progress and
outcomes for the full project period.
OMB’s approval of the forms used in
Reporting Year 2016 expired December
31, 2016.
Need and Use of Information
Collection: The National Institute on
Disability, Independent Living, and
Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR)
Administration for Community Living
(ACL) of the Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) requests
clearance of revised Annual
Performance Reporting (APR) and Final
Report forms to be completed by all
NIDILRR grantees. (Previously housed
in the Department of Education and
known as the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research
[NIDRR], NIDILRR was renamed and
relocated to HHS by the Workforce
Innovation and Opportunity Act of
2014.)
Changes in the Reporting Forms: The
Web-based system used for Reporting
Year 2016 reporting incorporate a
number of features to meet NIDILRR’s
information needs while minimizing
burden. The reporting form and system
currently in use were designed so that
information provided by grantees each
year is automatically carried forward to
the next. Under this design, grantees
need only review and, if necessary, edit
their previous year’s entries in order to
complete subsequent annual reports. To
further reduce burden, the proposed
form is designed so that, instead of
describing their accomplishments,
grantees simply select their most
important accomplishments from among
the outputs they report. Data from grant
applications, such as contact and budget
