The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 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 National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) Grantee Annual Performance Reporting (APR) and Final Report Forms collect data from all NIDILRR Grantees via a web-based reporting system and addresses specific HHS regulations that shall be met by applicants and grantees. HHS regulations that apply to NIDILRR Grant programs include Part 75 of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit requirements for HHS Awards. Specifically, § 75.342 which requires grantees to submit an annual performance report or, for the last year of a project, a final report that SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46125 evaluates: (a) The grantee’s progress in achieving the objectives in its approved application, (b) the effectiveness of the project in meeting the purposes of the program, and (c) the results of research and related activities. Additionally, GPRA requires all federal agencies to implement performance measurement systems that include: (1) A five-year strategic plan, (2) an annual performance plan, and (3) an annual performance report. Currently, NIDILRR has met these requirements and has established performance indicators to meet the reporting requirements. The NIDILRR APR System currently includes reporting forms for all 10 of NIDILRR’s grant programs. Reporting forms for all 10 programs are web-based. Data collected through these forms (a) Facilitate program planning and management; (b) respond to ACL/HHS Grants Policy Administration Manual (GPAM) requirements and (c) respond to the reporting requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993. NIDILRR uses the information gathered annually from these data collection efforts to provide Congress with the information mandated in GPRA, provide OMB information required for assessment of performance on GPRA indicators, and support its evaluation activities. Data collected from the 10 grant programs will provide a national description of the research activities of approximately 255 NIDILRR grantees. NIDILRR’s GPRA plan must collect information to meet the following mandates: (a) Implementation of a comprehensive plan that includes goals and objectives; (b) measurement of the program’s progress in meeting its objectives; and (c) submission of an annual report on program performance, including plans for program improvement, as appropriate. The data collection system addresses nearly all of the agency’s GPRA indicators, either directly or by providing information for the agency’s other review processes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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 in the PRA and includes agency 
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, 
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The PRA (44 
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 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 National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and 
Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) Grantee Annual Performance Reporting 
(APR) and Final Report Forms collect data from all NIDILRR Grantees via 
a web-based reporting system and addresses specific HHS regulations 
that shall be met by applicants and grantees. HHS regulations that 
apply to NIDILRR Grant programs include Part 75 of the Uniform 
Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit requirements for 
HHS Awards. Specifically, Sec.  75.342 which requires grantees to 
submit an annual performance report or, for the last year of a project, 
a final report that evaluates: (a) The grantee's progress in achieving 
the objectives in its approved application, (b) the effectiveness of 
the project in meeting the purposes of the program, and (c) the results 
of research and related activities.
    Additionally, GPRA requires all federal agencies to implement 
performance measurement systems that include: (1) A five-year strategic 
plan, (2) an annual performance plan, and (3) an annual performance 
report. Currently, NIDILRR has met these requirements and has 
established performance indicators to meet the reporting requirements. 
The NIDILRR APR System currently includes reporting forms for all 10 of 
NIDILRR's grant programs.
    Reporting forms for all 10 programs are web-based. Data collected

respond to ACL/HHS Grants Policy Administration Manual (GPAM) 
requirements and (c) respond to the reporting requirements of the 
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993.
    NIDILRR uses the information gathered annually from these data 
collection efforts to provide Congress with the information mandated in 
GPRA, provide OMB information required for assessment of performance on 
GPRA indicators, and support its evaluation activities. Data collected 
from the 10 grant programs will provide a national description of the 
research activities of approximately 255 NIDILRR grantees. NIDILRR's 
GPRA plan must collect information to meet the following mandates: (a) 
Implementation of a comprehensive plan that includes goals and 
objectives; (b) measurement of the program's progress in meeting its 
objectives; and (c) submission of an annual report on program 
performance, including plans for program improvement, as appropriate. 
The data collection system addresses nearly all of the agency's GPRA 
indicators, either directly or by providing information for the 
agency's other review processes.

for review at https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
