AGENCY:
The Administration for
Community Living (ACL) is announcing
an opportunity for the public to
comment on the proposed collection of
information listed above. 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.
This New Data Collection (ICR New)
solicits comments on the information
collection requirements relating to the
Centers for Independent Living under
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or

amounts of time that Statewide
Independent Living Councils have
reported that they have spent

change in the data States are required to
submit. As such, there is no change to
the estimated reporting burden.

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 our burden estimates or
any other aspect of this collection of
information, including:
(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;
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(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
to determine burden estimates;
(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.
In the context of ACL, IL programs are
supported through funding authorized
by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as
amended (The Act). Title VII, chapter 1
of the Act states the current purpose of
the program is to ‘‘promote a
philosophy of independent living
including a philosophy of consumer
control, peer support, self-help, selfdetermination, equal access, and
individual and system advocacy, in
order to maximize the leadership,
empowerment, independence, and
productivity of individuals with
disabilities, and the integration and full
inclusion of individuals with
disabilities into the mainstream of
American society.’’
ILS PPR and CIL PPR are being
submitted separately because they are
separate collections of different
information from different parties.
Separating these PRA processes reduces
confusion and increases the
Independent Living Administration’s
ability to identify issues specific to CILs.
This request is for CIL PPR, which is
submitted annually by all CILs receiving
IL Subchapter C funds. The PPRs are
used by ACL to assess grantees’
compliance with title VII of the Act, and
with 45 CFR 1329 of the Code of Federal
E:\FR\FM\19OCN1.SGM

53065
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 203 / Friday, October 19, 2018 / Notices
Regulations and with applicable
provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45
CFR part 75. The PPR serves as the
primary basis for ACL’s monitoring
activities in fulfillment of its
responsibilities under sections 706 and
722 of the Act. The PPR also enables
ACL to track performance outcomes and
efficiency measures of the Centers for
Independent Living (CIL) programs with
respect to the annual and long-term
performance targets established in
compliance with GPRA. The PPR is also
used by ACL to design CIL and SILC
training and technical assistance
programs authorized by section 711A
and section 721 of the Act.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows: 353 Centers
for Independent Living will each
complete one CIL PPR annually, and it
will take an estimated 35 hours per CIL
for an estimated total of 12,355 hours.
This burden estimate is based partly on
ILA’s estimates of how long CILs
probably take to find the information
that PPRs ask for and partly on what
CILs have told the Independent Living
Administration about how long filling
out the PPRs took.

Notice.
The Food and Drug

announcing an opportunity for public
comment on the proposed collection of
certain information by the Agency.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA), Federal Agencies are
required to publish notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an

SUMMARY:

ACL published a Federal Register
Notice regarding the independent living
programs information collection on
February 23, 2017. Two-hundred and
twenty-one individual comments were
received. The responses indicated a
need to make substantial changes to the
collection. The current version of the
ILS PPR that ILA is requesting an
extension for was approved by OMB,
but will expire on December 31, 2018.
Further deliberation is needed to ensure
that we appropriately address all of the
concerns. ILA is proposing to extend the
currently approved forms for three years
while we work on a revision that
addresses all the suggested changes.
