Living, HHS.
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 (the
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 notice solicits comments on the
Proposed Extension with minor changes
and solicits comments on the
information collection requirements
related to Prevention and Public Health
Funds Evidence-Based Falls Prevention
Program Information Collection.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or
postmarked by November 27, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: Shannon Skowronski.
Submit written comments on the
collection of information to
Administration for Community Living,
Washington, DC 20201, Attention:
Shannon Skowronski.
SUMMARY:
Shannon Skowronski, Administration
for Community Living, Washington, DC
20201, Shannon Skowronski, 202–795–
7438, shannon.skowronski@acl.hhs.gov.
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 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes agency requests
or requirements that members of the
public submit reports, keep records, or
provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 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 EvidenceBased Falls Prevention Grant Program is
financed through the Prevention and
Public Health Fund (PPHF), most
recently with FY 2020 PPHF funds. The
statutory authority for these cooperative
is contained in Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2020 and Health
Extenders Act of 2019, Public Law 116–
59; the Older Americans Act (OAA)
(Section 411); and the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C.
300u–11 (Prevention and Public Health
Fund).
The Evidence-Based Falls Prevention
Program supports a national resource
center and awards competitive grants to
implement and promote the
sustainability of evidence-based
community programs that have been
proven to reduce the falls incidence and
risk among for older adults. OMB
approval of the existing set of Falls
Prevention data collection tools (OMB
Control Number, 0985–0039) expires on
03/31/2021. This data collection
continues to be necessary for monitoring
program operations and outcomes.
ACL/AoA proposes to use the
following tools: (1) Semi-annual
performance reports to monitor grantee
progress; (2) a Host/Implementation
Organization Information Form to
record location of agencies that sponsor
programs that will allow mapping of the
delivery infrastructure; and (3) a set of
tools used to collect information at each
program completed by the program
leaders (Program Information Cover
Sheet and Attendance Log), a
Participant Information Form to be
completed by all participants, and a
Post Program Survey to be completed by
a random sample of participants.
ACL/AoA intends to continue using
an online data entry system for the
program and participant survey data.
Minor changes are being proposed to
the currently approved tools. All
changes proposed are based on feedback
from a focus group that included a subset of current grantees and consultation
with subject-matter experts.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.

ACL/AoA proposes to use the following tools: (1) Semi-annual
