(ACL), is announcing that the proposed
collection of information listed above
has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and clearance.

Mary Darnell, (202) 795–7337;
Mary.Darnell@acl.hhs.gov.
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 for a
3-year period of the revised Annual
Performance Report (APR) and Final
Report forms to be completed by all
NIDILRR grantees.
The Web-based system used for
Reporting Year 2016 reporting
incorporated a number of features to
meet NIDILRR’s information needs
while minimizing burden. 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
information, are preloaded for
efficiency. To facilitate grantee and
NIDILRR staff review of information
submitted, the system includes systemgenerated tables that summarize
information entered in specific sections.
The Web-based system also carries
forward information from one section of
the form to the next; for example,
information on outcome-oriented goals
is carried forward for convenient
linkage with projects/activities and
publications.
NIDILRR and HHS will use the
information gathered annually from
these data collection efforts to provide
Congress with the information
mandated in GPRA, provide OMB
information required for assessment of
performance on GPRA indicators, and
support its evaluation activities. Data
collected from the 10 grant programs
will provide a national description of
the research activities of approximately
275 NIDILRR grantees per year in fiscal
years 2017–2019.
OMB approval is requested for 3
years. The average annual burden
associated with these activities over a
three-year period is summarized below.
While the number of grantees will vary
from year to year, all grantees will be
required to submit an annual
performance report and a final report at
the completion of the project. Based on
our experience with reporting burden,
we estimate that it will take an average
of 52 hours to complete the reporting
form in a grantee’s first year of award.
In subsequent years, the estimated
response burden is approximately 22
hours. The estimated response burden
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
includes time to review the instructions,
gather existing data, and complete and
review the form. The number of
respondents is based on the average
number of grants administered by
NIDILRR over time.
This notice collects comments on the
information collection requirements
relating to the revision of a currently
approved collection (ICR Rev) covering
ten NIDILRR programs (current approval
number 1820–0675).
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
2016 under OMB collection number
1820–0675:
• Rehabilitation Research Training
Centers (RRTCs)
• Rehabilitation Engineering Research
Centers (RERCs)
• Field Initiated Research Projects
(FIPs)
• Advanced Rehabilitation Research
Training Projects (ARRTs)
• Model Systems (including spinal cord
injury, traumatic brain injury, and
burn centers)
• Disability and Rehabilitation Research
Projects (DRRPs)
• Knowledge Translation (KT) Projects
• ADA National Network Centers
(ADAs)
• Small Business Innovation Research
Projects (SBIR) grantees (Phase 2
only)
• Research Fellowships Program (RFP)
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.

Federal Register Notice
