ORR has specific requirements for the
provision of services. Award recipients
must have the infrastructure, licensing,
experience, and appropriate level of
trained staff to meet those requirements.
The expansion of the existing shelter
services program through this
supplemental award is a key strategy for
ORR to be prepared to meet its
responsibility of safe and timely release
of Unaccompanied Alien Children
referred to its care by DHS and so that
the US Border Patrol can continue its
vital national security mission to
prevent illegal migration, trafficking,
and protect the borders of the United
States.
Statutory Authority: This program is
authorized by—
(A) Section 462 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, which in March
2003, transferred responsibility for the
care and custody of Unaccompanied
Alien Children from the Commissioner
of the former Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) to the
Director of ORR of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
(B) The Flores Settlement Agreement,
Case No. CV85–4544RJK (C. D. Cal.
1996), as well as the William
Wilberforce Trafficking Victims
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008
(Pub. L. 110–457), which authorizes
post release services under certain
conditions to eligible children. All
programs must comply with the Flores
Settlement Agreement, Case No. CV85–
4544–RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), pertinent
regulations and ORR policies and
procedures.

Activities; Proposed Collection; Public
Comment Request; Extension of the
Certification of Maintenance of Effort
for Title III and Certification of LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program
Expenditures
Administration for Community
Living, HHS.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is announcing
an opportunity for public comment on
two proposed collections of certain
information by the agency. Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the
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
notice.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by September 18, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: Jesse E. Moore, Jr. at
jesse.moore@acl.hhs.gov. Submit
written comments on the collection of
information to Administration for
Community Living, Washington, DC
20201, attention Jesse Moore.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jesse E. Moore, Jr., Aging Services
Program Specialist, Administration for
Community Living, Washington, DC
20201, 202–795–7578.
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.
With respect to the following collection
of information, ACL invites comments
on: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of ACL’s functions,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
ACL’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology. This notice
solicits comments on the information
collection requirements relating to: (1)
The Certification on Maintenance of
Effort under Title III of the Older
Americans Act (OAA); and (2)
Certification of Long-Term Care
Ombudsman Program Expenditures for
Older Americans Act Title III and Title
VII Grantees. These proposed data
collections would extend the
Certification of Maintenance of Effort for
Title III, and make minor revisions to,
and extend, the Certification of LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program

Expenditures. While separate in terms
of the data gathered, the financial
review and certification of funds
processes that are completed to generate
the information gathered on these forms
are generally done at the same time by
the States. To reduce burden, these
forms are being presented together for
renewal since both are issued under the
same Program Instruction, and they
have the same due date to ACL.
The Certification of Maintenance of
Effort under Title III and Certification of
Long-Term Care Ombudsman (LTCO)
Program Expenditures provide
statutorily required information
regarding each state’s contribution to
programs funded under the Older
Americans Act and compliance with
legislative requirements, pertinent
Federal regulations, and other
applicable instructions and guidelines
issued by ACL. This information will be
used for Federal oversight of Title III
Programs and Title VII Ombudsman
Program expenditures.
In addition to renewing OMB
approval of these data collection
instruments, minor changes are being
proposed to the LTCO Expenditures
Certification and an accompanying
document which provides specific
statutory references related to
Ombudsman program minimum
funding, non-supplanting requirements
and state authorization to expend Title
III–B funds on Ombudsman activities.
Specifically, changes include making
the reference to the Fiscal Year at the
bottom of the form a fillable field to
allow the date to be changed annually;
listing the ‘‘Administration for
Community Living (ACL)’’ as the
intended recipient of the completed
form; and updating statutory language
references (i.e., Section 306(a)(9))
Number of
respondents
Respondent/data collection activity
provided on the second page, to reflect
changes made during the 2016
reauthorization of the OAA.
ACL estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows: 56
State Agencies on Aging respond
annually, and it takes each agency an
average of one half (1⁄2) hour per State
agency per year to complete each form
for a total of twenty-eight hours for all
state agencies annually. The half hour
estimate is based on prior years’
experience with States in completing
these forms.

may be found on the ACL Web site for
