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.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or
postmarked by October 22, 2019.

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
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
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
new 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
Information Collection (IC), ACL
published a 60-day Federal Register
Notice from 11/13/2017–01/12/2018
(Vol. 82, No.217 pp. 52305–52306). ACL
received a large volume of substantive
stakeholder comments, causing
revisions to the IC based on those public
comments. The period in publication
between the 60-day FRN and 30-day
FRN, allowed ACL to thoughtfully
review and apply the significant number
of substantive public comments to the
proposed new TBI IC.
In order to remain compliant with
PRA 5 CFR 1320.8(d), ACL has
published this Federal Register Notice
for an abbreviated public comment
period prior to publishing a 30-day FRN
and submittal to OMB. ACL solicits
comments during this abbreviated
public comment period regarding: (1)

The accuracy of ACL’s revised estimate
of the burden for the proposed
collection of information performance
reporting data elements and (2) whether
the proposed revisions to the collection
of information enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
The goal of the federal Traumatic
Brain Injury (TBI) State Partnership
Program is to help state and local
agencies develop resources so all
individuals with TBI and their families
will have accessible, available, and
appropriate services and supports. The
TBI State Partnership Program funds the
development and implementation of
statewide systems that ensure access to
TBI related services, including
transitional services, rehabilitation,
education and employment, and longterm community support. To best
monitor, guide, and support TBI State
Partnership Program grantees, ACL
needs regular information about the
grantees’ activities and outcomes. The
simplest, least burdensome and most
useful way to accomplish this goal is to
require grantees to submit information
as part of their required semiannual
reports via the proposed electronic data
submission instrument.
In 1996, the Public Health Service Act
was amended ‘‘to provide for the
conduct of expanded studies and the
establishment of innovative programs
with respect to traumatic brain injury,
and for other purposes’’ (Pub. L. 104–
166).
The Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA), was authorized
to ‘‘make grants to States for the purpose
of carrying out demonstration projects
to improve access to health and other
services regarding traumatic brain
injury.’’ The Children’s Health Act of
2000 (Pub. L. 106–310) authorized
HRSA to ‘‘develop, change, or enhance
community-based service delivery
E:\FR\FM\08OCN1.SGM
08OCN1
53739
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 8, 2019 / Notices
systems that include timely access to
comprehensive appropriate services and
supports.’’ The Traumatic Brain Injury
Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–206) provided
for the expansion and improvement of
traumatic brain injury programs,
including funding for HRSA’s State
Grants for Demonstration Projects
Regarding Traumatic Brain Injury.
These state grants were reauthorized by
the Traumatic Brain Injury
Reauthorization Act of 2014 (Pub. L.
113–196) and again by the Traumatic
Brain Injury Reauthorization Act of
2018 (Pub. L. 115–377).
While conducting a review of all
previous statewide TBI needs and
resources assessments, the HRSA
determined that four common barriers
to accessing care continued to emerge
across states and territories. These
barriers include: (1) A lack of
information of services and supports
with little or no assistance in accessing
them (information and referral services);
(2) a shortage of health professionals
who may encounter individuals with
TBI but lack relevant training to identify
or treat the resulting symptoms,
including physicians, nurses, school
staff, coaches, athletic trainers, social
workers, psychologists, childcare
providers, domestic violence/homeless/
emergency shelter staff, law
enforcement, and assisted living facility
personnel (professional training); (3) the
absence of a TBI diagnosis, or the
assignment of an incorrect diagnosis
(screening); and (4) critical TBI services
are spread across numerous agencies
resulting in services being difficult for
families to identify and navigate
(resource facilitation).
The proposed performance measures
assess progress toward surmounting the
aforementioned barriers, while
accounting for the varied approaches
used across state grantees and are
consistent with the TBI State
Partnership Program’s purpose and
ACL’s mission.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.

a definition, further guidance or
clarification with regard to terminology
used.

particular question.
Estimated Program Burden
These revisions based on public
comments caused a change in the
annual reporting burden estimates; there
is a program change decrease of ¥1,008
annual burden hours from the 60-day
FRN. In addition, the 60-day FRN
respondent estimate was based on the
highest number of possible awards
anticipated; there is an adjustment
decrease of ¥18 respondents.
