is key to achieving these goals. Section
5 of the Digital Accountability and
Transparency Act (Pub. L. 113–101)
requires a pilot program to develop
recommendations for standardizing
reporting, eliminating unnecessary
duplication, and reducing compliance
costs for recipients of Federal awards.
The pilot participants are required to
provide requested reports as well as the
cost to collect the data via the pilot. The
proposed pilot program will provide an
alternative submission method for
existing Federal Acquisition Regulation
(FAR) requirements, and assess the pilot
results against the existing FARrequired method.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 720.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 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
as and includes agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party.
The PRA 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;
(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.
The purpose of this data collection is
to collect annual performance data from
PO 00000

grantees. This data collection is required
by Congress for program monitoring and
Government Performance Results Act
(GPRA) purposes. The data collected
through this request is used by ACL and
the SMP Programs to communicate with
Congress and the public on SMP
activities. There are 54 programs
nationally, one in all 50 states, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam
and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It is
imperative that data be collected to
ensure that grantees’ contacts are
captured and that Medicare
beneficiaries are given the tools to
prevent, detect and report health care
fraud, error and abuse. The respondents
for this data collection are grantees,
SMP team members, and volunteers
who meet with Medicare beneficiaries
in group settings and in one-on-one
sessions to educate them on the
importance of being aware of Medicare
fraud, error and abuse, and having the
knowledge to protect the Medicare
system.
Under Public Law 104–208, the
Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations
Act of 1997, Congress established the
Senior Medicare Patrol Projects in order
to further curb losses to the Medicare
program. The Senate Committee noted
that retired professionals, with
appropriate training, could serve as
educators and resources to assist
Medicare beneficiaries and others to
detect and report error, fraud and abuse.
Among other requirements, it directed
the Administration for Community
Living to work with the Office of
Inspector General (OIG) and the
Government Accountability Office
(GAO), to assess the performance of the
program. The Administration for
Community Living has worked with
HHS/OIG to develop project-level
performance measures. The HHS/OIG
has collected SMP performance data
and issued SMP performance reports
since 1997. The OIG changed the
reporting period from twice a year to
once a year in 2008.
This information is used by ACL as
the primary method for monitoring the
SMP Projects. This information
collection reports the number of active
team members, number of community
outreach activities, number of
beneficiaries reached by education and
outreach activities, and the number of
dollars recoverable for the Medicare
Trust Fund among other performance
measures. The information from the
current collection is reported by the OIG
to Congress and the public.
Measures as required by Congress and
the Government Performance Results
Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRMA),
are also supported in ACL tracking
