section of this notice by the date
specified in the DATES section of this
notice. This meeting will be held in a
federal government building, the Hubert
H. Humphrey (HHH) Building;
therefore, federal security measures are
applicable.
The REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L.
109–13) establishes minimum standards
for the issuance of state-issued driver’s
licenses and identification (ID) cards. It
prohibits federal agencies from
accepting an official driver’s license or
ID card from a state for any official
purpose unless the Secretary of the
Department of Homeland Security
determines that the state meets these
standards. Beginning October 2015,
photo IDs (such as a valid driver’s
license) issued by a state or territory not
in compliance with the Real ID Act will
not be accepted as identification to enter
federal buildings. Visitors from these
states/territories will need to provide
alternative proof of identification (such
as a valid passport) to gain entrance into
federal buildings. The current list of
states from which a federal agency may
accept driver’s licenses for an official
purpose is found at https://www.dhs.gov/
real-id-enforcement-brief.
We recommend that confirmed
registrants arrive reasonably early, but
no earlier than 45 minutes prior to the
start of the meeting, to allow additional
time to clear security. Security measures
include the following:
• Presentation of a government-issued
photographic identification to the
Federal Protective Service or Guard
Service personnel.
• Inspection, via metal detector or
other applicable means, of all persons
entering the building. We note that all
items brought into HHH Building,
whether personal or for the purpose of
presentation or to support a
presentation, are subject to inspection.
We cannot assume responsibility for
coordinating the receipt, transfer,
transport, storage, set up, safety, or
timely arrival of any personal
belongings or items used for
presentation or to support a
presentation.
Note: Individuals who are not
registered in advance will not be
permitted to enter the building and will
be unable to attend the meeting.

SUMMARY:

Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
66275
In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance. The Act of 1973
requires three Independent Living
program reports: (1) State Plan for
Independent Living, (2) ILS PPR, and (3)
Center for Independent Living (CIL)
PPR. The ILS PPR and CIL PPR were
previously combined into one
submission. However, for the purposes
of this data collection, the 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
(ILA) ability to identify issues specific
to designated state entities (DSEs) and
Statewide Independent Living Councils
(SILCs). This request is for the ILS PPR,
which is submitted annually by the
SILC and DSE in every state that
receives Subchapter B funds. The ILS
PPRs are used by ACL to assess
grantees’ compliance with title VII of
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as
amended, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, and with
applicable provisions of the HHS
Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The ILS
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 is also used by ACL to design CIL
and SILC training and technical
assistance programs authorized by
section 721 of the Act. The data is also
used to meet the requirements of
GPRAMA regarding performance
measures. 31 U.S.C. 1115 (2011).
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. ILA plans to
substantively review the data collection
and publish a revised ILS program data
collection instrument before the
expiration of the extension request.
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:
estimated 1,960 hours per year to
complete ILS PPRs. This burden
estimate is based on what DSEs and
SILCs have told ILA about how long
filling out ILS PPRs took in previous
reporting years.

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.
Authority:
The Elder Justice Act of 2009 requires
the Secretary of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services to carry out
a number of activities related to adult
protective services (APS) (42 U.S.C.
1397m–1), including developing and
disseminating information on APS best
practices and conducting research
related to the provision of APS.
Furthermore, the Elder Justice
Coordinating Council included as its
third recommendation for increasing
federal involvement in addressing elder
abuse, neglect, and exploitation:
‘‘develop a national APS system based
upon standardized data collection and a
core set of service provision standards
and best practices.’’
Background
The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) in the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS)
plans to initiate an Inventory of Adult
Protective Services Practices and
Service Innovations (APS Practice
Survey) during January and February of
2019. Under a contract with ACL, the
National Adult Protective Services
Technical Assistance Resource Center
(APS TARC) is conducting a national
program evaluation of APS programs.
As part of this evaluation, the APS
Practice Survey will identify barriers to
meeting policy mandates and practice
innovations and model programs that
address such barriers and community-
