ACTION:
Notice.
The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on ACL’s intention to collect
information necessary to determining
grantee compliance with Title VII of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, As Amended
by the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act of 2014. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish a notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension of an existing collection of
information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the
proposed action. This notice solicits
comments on a proposed revision to an
existing data collection related to the
Centers for Independent Living Program
Performance Report (CIL PPR, formerly
the Section 704 Part II Report).
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by April 7.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: veronica.hogan@
acl.hhs.gov. Submit written comments
on the collection of information by mail
to Veronica Hogan, Administration for
Community Living, 330 C Street, Room
1133D, Washington, DC 20201.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Veronica Hogan at (202) 795–7365 or
veronica.hogan@acl.hhs.gov.
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
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703

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 or
update of an existing collection of
information, before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. The
proposed data collection represents a
revision of a currently approved
collection (ICR–Rev).
In order to comply with the above
requirement, the Independent Living
Administration (ILA) is requesting
approval of a revision of a previously
approved collection, the Centers for
Independent Living Program
Performance Report (CILPPR), formerly
known as the 704 Part II report (0985–
0043). Sections 704(m)(4)(D), 706(d),
721(b)(3), and 725(c) of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973
(Rehabilitation Act), as amended by the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity
Act (WIOA, Pub. L. 113–128) and the
corresponding regulations at 45 CFR
part 1329, require centers for
independent living (CILs) to submit
annual performance reports to the
Administrator of the Administration for
Community Living (ACL) in order to
receive continuation funding under the
CIL (IL Part C) program.
The CIL PPR is submitted annually by
all CILs receiving IL Part C funds. The
CIL PPR is used by ACL to assess
grantees’ compliance with title VII of
the Act, with section 1329 of the Code
of Federal Regulations and with
applicable provisions of the HHS
regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The CIL
PPR serves as the primary basis for
ACL’s monitoring activities in
fulfillment of its responsibilities under
sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The CIL
PPR also enables ACL to collect
E:\FR\FM\23FEN1.SGM
23FEN1
11472
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 35 / Thursday, February 23, 2017 / Notices
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.
