SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Developmental Disabilities Assistance
and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act
of 2000) directs the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to develop and
implement a system of program
accountability to monitor the grantees
funded under the DD Act of 2000. The
program accountability system shall
include the National Network of
University Centers for Excellence in
Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD)
Education, Research, and Service.
The DD Act of 2000 states that the
UCEDD Annual Report should contain
information on progress made in
achieving the projected goals of the
Center for the previous year.
Reporting on the extent to which the
goals were achieved; a description of the
strategies that contributed to achieving
the goals; the extent to which the goals
were not achieved, a description of
factors that impeded the achievement;

and an accounting of the manner in
which funds paid to the Center under
this subtitle for a fiscal year were
expended. Information on proposed
revisions to the goals and a description
of successful efforts to leverage funds,
other than funds made available under
the DD Act of 2000.
In addition, the DD Act of 2000 states
those grantees must also report on data
collected regarding:
(1) Consumer satisfaction with the
advocacy;
(2) capacity building;
(3) systemic change activities initiated
by the UCEDD;
(4) the extent to which the UCEDD’s
advocacy, capacity building, and
systemic change activities provided
results through improvements; and
(5) the extent to which collaboration
was achieved in the areas of advocacy,
capacity building, and systemic change.
The UCEDD program is a
discretionary grant program that
supports states and territories in the
operation and administration of a
national network of UCEDDs. UCEDDS
are interdisciplinary education,
research, and public service units of
universities, public or not-for-profit
entities associated with universities that
engage in core functions. Currently,
UCEDDs engage in four broad tasks:
conducting interdisciplinary training,
promoting community service programs
including technical assistance,
conducting research, and disseminating
information to the field. They address
areas of emphasis such as, quality
assurance, education and early
intervention, child care, health,
employment, housing, transportation,
recreation, and other services available
or offered to individuals living in the
community, including formal and
informal community supports, that
affect their quality of life.
UCEDD accomplishments include:
• Directing exemplary
interdisciplinary training programs
where faculty and trainees represent a
variety of disciplines which expand
opportunities for students to learn
different perspectives from
professionals serving individuals with
intellectual and developmental
disabilities and their families;
• providing community services and
technical assistance to individuals with
intellectual and developmental
disabilities, family members,
professionals, paraprofessionals,
systems, support service organizations,
volunteers among others; and
• contributing to the development of
new knowledge through research and
information dissemination including
field testing models of service delivery

and evaluating existing innovative
practices to disseminate to the field.
Comments in Response to the 60-Day
Federal Register Notice
A 60-day Federal Register Notice
published on March 4, 2020 in 85 FR
12787–12788, ACL received five public
comments from the comment period.
Following are the public comments and
ACL’s responses, and the updated
proposed data collection tools may be
found on the ACL website for review at:
https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/publicinput.
Public Comment #1
(a) Based upon experiences where the
estimated number of hours was very
substantially less than the number of
UCEDD hours invested in reporting, the
estimated number of hours to adapt to
and maintain the revised system seems
quite low. For example, grantees’
internal data collection methods will
require substantial revision. All faculty,
staff and trainees will need training in
their new documentation
responsibilities. Each year, training will
be repeated for new faculty, staff, and
trainees.
(b) The information published in the
Federal Register estimates that data
collection will take 143 hours. This has
not been the IOD’s experience. The IOD
estimates that over 1,000 hours are
spent annually entering data and
creating IOD reports for ACL and AIDD.
Although the work required is
significant, we appreciate. Despite these
recent improvements, an assessment of
the proposed changes to the reporting
requirements of the PPR predicts a net
increase in effort in order to be in
compliance.
(c) Our current estimated time burden
for data collection, entry, cleaning and
analysis as well as report writing
annually is 1,200 hours for the PPR.
This does not include writing the 5-year
report. We estimate that it would take us
an additional 40–60 hours to write the
5-year report, increasing the total
estimated time burden for 5-year
reporting years to almost 1,300 hours.
(d) Furthermore, reporting of the
intermediate outcomes for Research, in
particular, will be onerous for
researchers who already have
substantial reporting and publication
requirements specified in their grants
and contracts. This requirement seems
redundant with the required reporting
of publications.
ACL Response #1
ACL has reviewed and accepts your
recommendations. The estimated
burden hours will be corrected in the
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
33161
30-day FRN public call for comments. In
response to the concern about reporting
intermediate research outcomes, the 5year report language will be amended to
require a research impact statement
replacing the case example requirement.
ACL will use the impact statement for
communication, collaboration, and
other purposes.
Comment #2
The following paragraph from Part
(1.a.) Detailed Work Plan Progress
Report (annual report) seems to refer to
future activities (e.g., ‘‘individuals who
will work’’) and therefore is very
confusing as an aspect of a report on
progress in a past year.
Response #2
ACL reviewed and will delete the
confusing paragraph in Part (1.a.) from
the work plan progress report.
Comment #3
(a) AUCD would need to overhaul
NIRS to ask all required questions and
to provide single-year and cumulative
reports summarizing the data. They
would need a way to track issues
encountered by grantees as they try to
input the data into NIRS, and develop
FAQs to respond to the issues.
(b) Additionally, as we begin to think
about the IOD’s 5-year report, significant
cost and time savings could be realized
if an intuitive and efficient structure for
the 5-year report could be built into
NIRS.
(c) Recommend building the 5-year
report into the NIRS system to ease
reporting burden of our and other
UCEDDs’ having to create our own
templates for reporting.
(d) Currently, evaluation and
demographic information of participants
in all core functions must be manually
entered into NIRS after completion. This
is time consuming and leaves room for
missing data and error data. Building
electronic forms that would allow
UCEDDs to collect their evaluation data
directly in NIRS would be very helpful
in reducing data error and time spend
on data entry. Recommend development
of customizable e-forms within NIRS by
AUCD to support UCEDDs in collecting
their evaluation within NIRS.
Response #3
The UCEDD Resource Center at AUCD
will meet this need.
Comment #4
Overall, the proposed questions
(especially those to be answered in
narrative form) do help to highlight
significant outcomes, and the extent to
which each UCEDD has successfully
E:\FR\FM\01JNN1.SGM
01JNN1

performed its core functions,
independent of project-specific
outcomes.
We do have some concerns regarding
(1.b.1). Discuss CAC involvement in
evaluating UCEDD activities, and in the
development and review of the final
program progress report.
At every CAC meeting, we provide
updates on the UCEDDs activities,
where CAC members are encouraged to
comment and make suggestions. An indepth annual report is provided at our
full-day in person CAC meeting every
November. If that coincides with a fiveyear renewal application earlier that
year, then a 5-year cumulative report is
shared.
Previously, there has been no
requirement for CAC members to be
delete the requirement for CAC
involvement in the development of the
final five-year report.
Response #4
ACL estimates the burden associated
with this collection of information as
follows:
Regarding Part (1.b1): ACL reviewed
and accepts your recommendation to
Comment # 5
Recommend ensuring enough time is
allocated between the year 5 annual
report due date and the due date of the
overall 5-year report.
Response # 5
The year 5 annual report is due July
30 and the 5-year closeout report is due
90 days after the end of the grant period

ACTION:
Notice of availability.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or Agency) is
announcing the availability of a final
guidance for industry #240 entitled
‘‘Proprietary Names for New Animal
Drugs.’’ This guidance provides
recommendations to help new animal
drug sponsors develop proprietary
names for new animal drugs that do not
contribute to medication errors,
negatively impact safe use of the drug,
or misbrand the drug. This guidance
proposes a framework for evaluating
proposed proprietary names before
submitting them for review by the
Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM or
we). It also explains how new animal
drug sponsors can request that CVM
evaluate a proposed proprietary name.

directly involved in the development of
this report. Essentially, this is a
technical report, aggregating 5- years’
worth of NIRS data with additional
narrative and impact statements. As
such, we feel it is both burdensome and
somewhat irrelevant to involve the CAC
in the development of a report that is
submitted to AoD. Rather than ask about
CAC involvement in the development,
perhaps it would be more beneficial and
direct to require that CAC members be
surveyed about their experiences and
satisfaction with the structure and
function of their respective CACs over
the preceding 5 years.
