OMB: 0970–0455.
Description: The Administration for
Children and Families’ Children’s
Bureau (CB) is responsible for
administering the review of eligible
grant applications submitted in
response to funding opportunity
announcements issued by CB. CB
ensures that the objective review
process is independent, efficient,
effective, economical, and complies
with the applicable statutes, regulations,
and policies. Applications are reviewed
by subject experts knowledgeable in
child welfare and related fields. Review
findings are advisory to CB; CB is
responsible for making award decisions.
This announcement is a request for
continued approval of the information
collection system, the Reviewer
Recruitment Module (RRM). CB uses a
Web-based data collection form and
database to gather critical reviewer
information in drop down menu format
for data such as: Degree, occupation,
affiliations with organizations and
institutions that serve special
populations, and demographic
information that may be voluntarily
provided by a potential reviewer.
These data elements help CB find and
select expert grant reviewers for
objective review committees. The Webbased system permits reviewers to
access and update their information at
will and as needed. The RRM is
accessible by the general public via
https://rrm.grantsolutions.gov/
AgencyPortal/cb.aspx.
Respondents: Generally, our
reviewers are current or retired
professionals with backgrounds in child
welfare and related fields and in some
instances current or former foster care
parents or clients.

The Administration for

collect information necessary to
determine grantee compliance with
Section 4 of the Assistive Technology
Act of 1998, as Amended (AT Act).
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by January 3, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments
on the collection of information: by fax
at (202) 395–5806 or by email to OIRA_

Desk Officer for ACL.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert Groenendaal at (202) 795–7356
or Robert.Groenendaal@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
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, ACL is
requesting approval of a revision of a
previously approved collection, the
State Grants for Assistive Technology
Program State Plan for AT, formerly
known as the 664 report (0985–0048).
The State Plan for AT is submitted
every three years and updated annually
by all State Grants for AT programs
receiving formula funds under Section 4
of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998,
as Amended (AT Act). The State Plan
for AT is used by ACL to assess
grantees’ compliance with Section 4 of
the AT Act and enables ACL to analyze
qualitative and quantitative information
to track performance outcomes and
efficiency measures of the State Grants
for AT programs; support budget
requests; comply with the GPRA
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA)
reporting requirements; provide
national benchmark information; and
inform program development and
management activities. The burden table
below identifies the data collection
activities for the instrument as well as
the estimates for record keeping and
entry of aggregate data. In addition to
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
submitting a State Plan every three
years, states and outlying areas are
required to submit annual progress
reports on their activities. The data
required for these progress reports is
specified in Section 4(f) of the AT Act.
The State Grants for AT program
conduct the following state-level and
state leadership activities: device
demonstration, device loans, device
reutilization, state financing, training
and technical assistance, public
awareness, and information and referral.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register in Vol. 82, No. 178, pg.
43379 on September 15th, 2017. ACL
received one comment from the
Association of Assistive Technology Act
Programs (ATAP), which represents 54
State Grant for AT programs. The
comment noted that the proposed
changes to the currently approved
information collection were developed
with extensive input of those it directly
impacts, the State AT Program grantees.
The revision process began almost two
years ago and grantees had multiple
opportunities to discuss and make
recommendations on the proposed
changes, which were reviewed during
numerous meetings with ATAP
membership at national conferences and
during online events. There is uniform
support within the ATAP membership
for the revisions.
Burden Estimates
The proposed State Plan for Assistive
Technology Information Collection
Program may be found on the ACL Web
site at: https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/
public-input.
The total estimated hour burden per
respondent for the proposed State Plan
for AT will decrease from the 74 hours
per respondent estimated in FY 2015 to
73 hours estimated for FY 2018, an
estimated reduction of one hour per
respondent or 56 hours in total. The
proposed State Plan for AT changes
focus on a streamline of drop down
choice lists in the current instrument.
Actual expenditure data elements for
state-level and state leadership tracking
replaces the budget projections to
provide more accurate fiscal data to
ACL and to ensure compliance with AT
Act requirements for expenditures. The
proposed instrument simplifies the
coordination and collaboration items to
focus on activities conducted through a
formal written agreement to ensure
consistency and usefulness of data
reported. The revised instrument aligns
demographic data elements with the AT
Annual Performance Report (APR), so
