ACTION: Notice.
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
(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 Proposed Revision of a Currently

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,
including 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.
Legal authority for the State Plan for
Independent Living (SPIL) is contained
in Chapter 1 of Title VII of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended
(the Act). Section 704 of the
Rehabilitation Act requires that, to be
eligible to receive financial assistance
under Chapter 1, ‘‘a State shall submit
to the Department, and obtain approval
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of, a State plan containing such
provisions as the Department may
require.’’ ACL approval of the SPIL is
required for states to receive federal
funding for both the Independent Living
Services State grants and Centers for
Independent Living (CIL) programs.
Federal statute and regulations require
the collection of this information every
three years.
The SPIL is jointly developed by the
chairperson of the Statewide
Independent Living Council (SILC) and
not less than 51% of the directors of the
CILs, after receiving public input from
individuals throughout the State. ACL
reviews the SPIL for compliance with
the Rehabilitation Act and its applicable
regulations (Sec 704(a)(4); 45 CFR part
1329.17) and approves the SPIL. It
serves statewide as a primary planning
document that describe[s] strategies—
including how, and to whom, the state
will disburse what funds—for providing
independent living services and
designates the Designated State Entity.
The SPIL also assures that all IL
grantees in the state will comply with
the Act’s requirements. § 704(a)(5) of the
Act; 45 CFR 1329.17(a–b), citing sec.
704(m) of the Act. The SPIL Instrument
is the template for SPILs; the SPIL
Instructions explain the Instrument and
give tips about how to draft SPILs.
ACL is proposing this revision
because ACL and the technical
assistance provider have been revising
the Instrument and Instructions to
address changes to the Act that result
from the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act of 2014, 29 U.S.C. 32,
and to increase the Instrument’s and
Instructions’ clarity, conciseness, and
precision. For example,
• The revised Instrument and
Instructions will reflect the core services
that WIOA requires.
• The revised Instructions will
explain the state matching requirement,
and the revised Instrument will specify
how to include the state match in the
financial plan.
• The revised Instrument and
Instructions will add legal basis and
certifications and DSE assurances and
SILC assurances.
