Download as PDF 33136 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 19, 2017 / Notices 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. The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL Web site for review at: https://www.acl.gov/sites/ default/files/programs/2017-06/ MOE%20and%20LTCO% 20Certification%202017%20%20FINAL.pdf.
