SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act, ACL has submitted the
following proposed extension
information collection to OMB for
review and clearance.
The State Councils on Developmental
Disabilities (Councils) are authorized in
Subtitle B, of the Developmental
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights
Act of 2000 (DD Act), as amended, [42
U.S.C. 15001 et seq.] (The DD Act). They
are required to submit a five-year State
plan. Section 124(a) [42 U.S.C.
15024(a)], states any State desiring to
receive assistance under this subtitle
shall submit to the Secretary, and obtain
approval of, a 5-year strategic State plan
under this section. The requirement for
a State plan is also further emphasized
in the regulations in 45 CFR part
1326.30: (a) In order to receive Federal
financial assistance under this subpart,
each State Developmental Disabilities
Council must prepare and submit to the
Secretary, and have in effect, a State
Plan which meets the requirements of
sections 122 and 124 of the Act (42
U.S.C. 6022 and 6024) and these
regulations.
Additionally, data is collected in the
State Plan and submitted to Office on
Intellectual and Developmental
Disabilities (OIDD) for compliance with
the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010
(GPRAMA). In the State Plans, the
Councils provide to OIDD future year
targets for outcome performance
measures. These targets are reported to
Congress under GPRAMA.
As required by the statute, the
Council is responsible for the
development and submission of the
State plan, and is then responsible for
implementation of the activities
described in the plan. Further, the
5443
Council updates the Plan annually
during the five years. The State plan
provides information on individuals
with developmental disabilities in the
State, and a description of the services
available to them and their families. The
plan further sets forth the goals and
specific objectives to be achieved by the
State in pursuing systems change and
capacity building in order to more
effectively meet the service needs of this
population. It describes State priorities,
strategies, and actions, and the
allocation of funds to meet these goals
and objectives.
The State Plan is used in three ways.
First, it is used by the individual
Council as a planning document to
guide its planning and execution
processes. Secondly, it provides a
mechanism in the State whereby
individual citizens, as well as the State
government, are made aware of the goals
and objectives of the Council and have
an opportunity to provide comments on
them during its development. Finally,
the State plan provides to the
Department a stewardship tool; the staff
of the Department provides some
technical assistance to Councils and
monitor compliance with Subtitle B of
the DD Act, as an adjunct to on-site
monitoring. The stewardship role of the
State plan is useful both for providing
technical assistance during the planning
process, during the execution process,
and also during program site visits.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice
ACL received 18 comments in
response to the 60-day Federal Register
Notice. Comments received were not
germane to the State Plan template.
