qualitative and quantitative data to track
performance outcomes and efficiency
measures of the centers for independent
living (CILs) programs with respect to
the annual and long-term performance
targets established in compliance with
GPRA. The CIL PPR is also used by ACL
to design CIL training and technical
assistance programs authorized by
section 721 of the Act.
New Requirements
The Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA), enacted on
July 22, 2014, added a new core service
to the list of ‘‘independent living core
services’’ that ACL funded Centers for
Independent Living (CILs) are required
to provide. Prior to WIOA, CILs were
required to provide four core
independent living services: (1)
Information and referral services; (2)
independent living skills training; (3)
peer counseling, including crossdisability peer counseling; (4) and
individual and systems advocacy.
WIOA added a fifth core service for
‘‘transition services.’’ This new core
service has three components. It
requires CILs to:
• Facilitate 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 remain in the community;
and
• Facilitate the transition of youth
with significant disabilities, who were
eligible for individualized education
programs (IEPs) under Section 614(d) of
the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Act, and who have completed
their secondary education or otherwise
left school to post-secondary life.
The new core services promote full
access to community living, which is in
keeping with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, the Supreme Court
ruling in Olmstead v. L.C., and
subsequent legislation and regulations.
These critical services also align with
the core of ACL’s mission.
Modifications to the performance
measures were developed this year in
response to these changes, which will
require additional data to be submitted
so ACL can report on activities related
to the new requirement. The proposed
reporting form may be found on the
ACL Web site at: https://acl.gov/
Programs/AoD/ILA/Index.aspx#cil.
The estimated hour burden per
respondent for the CIL PPR (IL Part C)
in 2017 will change from the 35 hours
estimated in FY 2014 to 36.5 hours, an
additional hour and a half due to the
addition of the fifth core service area.
The number of hours is multiplied by
356 CILs, resulting in a total estimated
hour aggregate burden of 12,994 hours.
