ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on ACL’s intention to collect
information from legal and aging/
disability service professionals. 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 and to allow
60 days for public comment in response
on the proposed action. This notice
solicits comments on proposed
information collection requirements
relating to ACL funded training, case
consultation, and technical assistance
for aging/disability networks assisting
older adults in social or economic need
facing legal issues.
DATES: Submit written or electronic
comments on the collection of
information by February 5, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to Omar Valverde at
omar.valverde@acl.hhs.gov. Submit
written comments on the collection of
information by mail to Omar Valverde,
Administration for Community Living,
Washington, DC 20201.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Omar Valverde at omar.valverde@
acl.hhs.gov or (202) 795–7460.
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 collection of information
represents new information requested
from aging/disability networks to fulfill
requirements regarding the provision of
services and overall performance of ACL
legal assistance programs.
To comply with the above
requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
regarding the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
ACL contracts with a national legal
assistance resource center, the National
Center on Law and Elder Rights, to
provide the required services. Through
the contract, ACL provides aging,
disability, and related legal
professionals with training and complex
case consultations and support for
demonstration projects regarding
contractually identified priority legal
topics.
The purpose of the information
requested is for ACL to ensure that the
resource center creates and prioritizes
the training, case consultations and
technical assistance resources it was
contracted to provide and to ensure that
the center targets the contractually
designated aging network practitioners
about the priority subject matters. This
approach enables ACL to make datainformed decisions about the
deployment of its resource center assets.
These data are necessary for ACL to
evaluate contractual compliance with
established performance indicators.
These metrics include quantifiable
increases in uptake by stakeholders of
training, case consultation and technical
assistance, and measures of satisfaction
with and perceived benefit from these
services. For example, the metrics
measure successful problem resolution
as a result of the services provided,
E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 232 / Tuesday, December 5, 2017 / Notices
quantifiable data on fulfillment of
requests for training, technical
assistance, and consultation related to
the contractually designated legal and
systems development topic areas.
Interested persons are invited to send
comments regarding burden estimates or
any other aspect of this collection of
information, including the following
subjects: (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.

Proposed Collection of Information
ACL plans to submit the proposed
data collection to the Office of
Management and Budget for approval
following receipt of any comments
received in response to this notice. The
information to be requested by ACL
from legal and aging/disability
professionals fall into the following
areas: (1) Requests for training, case
consultation, and technical assistance
through an online, secure Uniform
Resource Support Request Tool; (2)
general requests for Legal Training
(including the volume of Webinar
registrations); Case Consultation and
Technical Assistance; and (3)
information about satisfaction and use
of the services and support received in
order to enable ACL to measure
performance outcomes.
(1) Resource Support Requests
ACL proposes to ask aging/disability
service providers and legal service
providers who may need various forms
of resource support a series of questions
regarding appropriate delivery of
needed assistance in a targeted and
efficient manner. These questions will
be presented through a web based
Uniform Resource Support Request Tool
(URSRT) that will be used for soliciting

information from legal and aging/disability service professionals.
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 and to allow 60 days for public
comment in response on the proposed action. This notice solicits
comments on proposed information collection requirements relating to
ACL funded training, case consultation, and technical assistance for
aging/disability networks assisting older adults in social or economic

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 collection of information represents new information requested
from aging/disability networks to fulfill requirements regarding the
provision of services and overall performance of ACL legal assistance
programs.
To comply with the above requirement, ACL is publishing a notice
regarding the proposed collection of information set forth in this
document. ACL contracts with a national legal assistance resource
center, the National Center on Law and Elder Rights, to provide the
required services. Through the contract, ACL provides aging,
disability, and related legal professionals with training and complex
case consultations and support for demonstration projects regarding
contractually identified priority legal topics.
The purpose of the information requested is for ACL to ensure that
the resource center creates and prioritizes the training, case
consultations and technical assistance resources it was contracted to
provide and to ensure that the center targets the contractually

assistance, and consultation related to the contractually designated
legal and systems development topic areas.
Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding burden
estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information,
including the following subjects: (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.
Proposed Collection of Information
ACL plans to submit the proposed data collection to the Office of
Management and Budget for approval following receipt of any comments
received in response to this notice. The information to be requested by
ACL from legal and aging/disability professionals fall into the
following areas: (1) Requests for training, case consultation, and
technical assistance through an online, secure Uniform Resource Support
Request Tool; (2) general requests for Legal Training (including the
volume of Webinar registrations); Case Consultation and Technical
Assistance; and (3) information about satisfaction and use of the
services and support received in order to enable ACL to measure
performance outcomes.
(1) Resource Support Requests
ACL proposes to ask aging/disability service providers and legal
service providers who may need various forms of resource support a
series of questions regarding appropriate delivery of needed assistance
in a targeted and efficient manner. These questions will be presented
through a web based Uniform Resource Support Request Tool (URSRT) that
will be used for soliciting and accepting requests for Legal Training,
Case Consultation, and Technical Assistance (Link to URSRT).
Estimated Number of Responses
ACL expects to receive (30) responses to questions presented in the
URSRT from Legal Assistance Developers (LADs) (Title VII, Section 731)
housed in SUAs and (50) responses from Older Americans Act (OAA) Title
III-B legal providers in the first year. In subsequent years, the URSRT
will be targeted for use by other groups within aging/disability and
elder rights networks and may experience a large increase in responses.
Total Estimated Burden Hours
The burden hours are calculated as (1) minute and 54 seconds to
complete the URSRT per respondent, with a total of 2.53 hours,
annually. Attachment A, which is posted along with the draft forms on
the acl.gov Web site, explains the estimated response rate and burden
calculations.
(2) Legal Training, Case Consultation, Technical Assistance Requests
ACL proposes to ask legal and aging/disability providers who
request Legal Training, Case Consultation, or Technical Assistance
through the web-based Uniform Resource Support Request Tool (URSRT) for
background information and the following substantive data:

Estimated Number of Responses
Based on the results of prior data collections, ACL expects between
13,000 and 14,000 requests annually through the web-based Uniform
Resource Support Request Tool (URSRT). In subsequent years, enhanced
public awareness of the availability of Legal Training, Case
Consultation, and Technical Assistance within aging/disability/legal
networks may increase potential responses to as high as 16,000.
Total Estimated Burden Hours
The burden of hours is calculated at (1) minute 42 seconds for each
respondent to make a request for Training, Case Consultation, or
Technical Assistance. ACL estimates a high end of 14,000 responses with
burden hours totaling 396 hours, annually. Attachment A, which is
posted along with the draft forms on the acl.gov Web site, explains the
estimated response rate and the burden calculation.
(3) Performance Outcome Measurement
ACL proposes to ask legal and aging/disability providers, who
request Legal Training, Case Consultation or Technical Assistance, the
following series of survey questions in order to properly assess
audience targeting, participant satisfaction, and outcomes of the
training and technical assistance delivered:
Type of Organization (Title III-B attorney, Legal Services

the assistance provided contribute to the successful completion of
legal needs and capacity assessments, legal services delivery plans,
legal service delivery standards, or data collection/reporting systems?
Estimated Number of Responses
ACL expects between 3,000 and 3,500 responses to follow up surveys
presented through the web-based Uniform Resource Support Request Tool
(URSRT) gaging participant satisfaction and service impacts derived
from Training, Case Consultation, or Technical Assistance. In
subsequent years, due to an increase in the volume of resource support
provided, survey responses may increase to as high as 4,500 due to
ongoing efforts to increase awareness of the availability of resource
support through NCLER.
Total Estimated Burden Hours
The burden of hours is calculated at (1) minute and 3 seconds for
each respondent to complete a survey gaging satisfaction and service
impact. ACL estimates a high end of 3,500 responses with a burden of
