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 under the PRA and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. PRA section (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 Survey of Older Americans Act (OAA) Participants information collection will include DATES: E:\FR\FM\17NON1.SGM 17NON1 73274 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 222 / Tuesday, November 17, 2020 / Notices consumer assessment surveys for the Congregate and Home-delivered meal nutrition programs; Case Management, Homemaker, and Transportation Services; and the National Family Caregiver Support Program. This survey builds on earlier national pilot studies and surveys, as well as performance measurement tools developed by ACL grantees in the Performance Outcomes Measures Project (POMP). Changes identified as a result of these initiatives were incorporated into the last data collection package that was approved by OMB and are included in this proposed extension of a currently approved collection. This information will be used by ACL to track performance outcome measures; support budget requests; comply with the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRMA) reporting requirements; provide national benchmark information; and inform program development and management initiatives. In addition to the proposed extension of the existing collection of information, ACL is requesting approval for a module on emergency preparedness to be added to the currently approved NSOAAP data collection effort. Older adults often have unique needs during an emergency or crisis. For example, they may have mobility challenges and/or chronic health conditions, or they may not have any family or friends nearby to support them. Support services that an older Respondent/data collection activity adult relies on to live at home, such as help from family caregivers, in-home health care, and home delivered meals, may be unavailable due to the disaster. These conditions increase a person’s vulnerability and may lead to nursing home care that may have been otherwise avoidable. In addition, older adults may be hearing or vision impaired or have a cognitive impairment such as dementia, which may make it difficult to access and respond to emergency directions. It is the responsibility of long-term care providers, community leaders, and first-responders to train, engage, and support the health and safety needs of older adults during emergencies and disasters. However, ultimately each person has a responsibility to prepare for potential crisis and make a plan for how to respond. The purpose of adding questions on emergency preparedness to the NSOAAP is to measure the extent to which older adults have received training on, and are prepared for, an emergency event. The results of this information collection will be used by ACL/AoA to: • Provide refined national benchmarks for use by states and AAAs. • Provide secondary data for analysis of various Title III program evaluations. • Provide performance information for key demographic subgroups, geographical sub regions, and different types of AAAs which will enable ACL/ AoA to identify variations in Number of respondents Area Agency on Aging: Respondent selection process.

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 information collection 
requirements relating to consumer assessment surveys that are used by 
ACL to measure program performance for programs funded under Title III

Community Living, Washington, DC 20201, by email at 
[email protected] or by telephone at 202-795-7369.

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 under the PRA and includes 
agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit 
reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. PRA 
section (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 Survey of Older Americans Act (OAA) Participants 
information collection will include

[[Page 73274]]

consumer assessment surveys for the Congregate and Home-delivered meal 
nutrition programs; Case Management, Homemaker, and Transportation 
Services; and the National Family Caregiver Support Program. This 
survey builds on earlier national pilot studies and surveys, as well as 
performance measurement tools developed by ACL grantees in the 
Performance Outcomes Measures Project (POMP). Changes identified as a 
result of these initiatives were incorporated into the last data 
collection package that was approved by OMB and are included in this 
proposed extension of a currently approved collection. This information 
will be used by ACL to track performance outcome measures; support 
budget requests; comply with the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRMA) 
reporting requirements; provide national benchmark information; and 
inform program development and management initiatives.
    In addition to the proposed extension of the existing collection of 
information, ACL is requesting approval for a module on emergency 
preparedness to be added to the currently approved NSOAAP data 
collection effort. Older adults often have unique needs during an 
emergency or crisis. For example, they may have mobility challenges 
and/or chronic health conditions, or they may not have any family or 
friends nearby to support them. Support services that an older adult 
relies on to live at home, such as help from family caregivers, in-home 
health care, and home delivered meals, may be unavailable due to the 
disaster. These conditions increase a person's vulnerability and may 
lead to nursing home care that may have been otherwise avoidable. In 
addition, older adults may be hearing or vision impaired or have a 
cognitive impairment such as dementia, which may make it difficult to 
access and respond to emergency directions.
    It is the responsibility of long-term care providers, community 
leaders, and first-responders to train, engage, and support the health 
and safety needs of older adults during emergencies and disasters. 
However, ultimately each person has a responsibility to prepare for 
potential crisis and make a plan for how to respond. The purpose of 
adding questions on emergency preparedness to the NSOAAP is to measure 
the extent to which older adults have received training on, and are 
prepared for, an emergency event.
    The results of this information collection will be used by ACL/AoA 
to:
     Provide refined national benchmarks for use by states and 
AAAs.
     Provide secondary data for analysis of various Title III 
program evaluations.
     Provide performance information for key demographic 
subgroups, geographical sub regions, and different types of AAAs which 
will enable ACL/AoA to identify variations in performance and examine 
the need for additional targeted technical assistance.
     Provide secondary data for analysis of emergency 
preparedness among older adults that will be shared with states and 
AAAs to help structure their emergency planning programs.
    The data will be used by the Administrator of the Administration 
for Community Living/Assistant Secretary for Aging in testimony and 
presentations; it will be incorporated into the agency's Annual Report; 
and it will be used by program staff to identify areas that may need 
attention at the national level. Descriptions of previous National 
Surveys of OAA Participants can be found under the section on OAA 
Performance Information on ACL's website at: https://acl.gov/programs/performance-older-americans-act-programs. Copies of the survey 
instruments and data from previous National Surveys of OAA Participants 
can be found and queried using the Aging, Independence, and Disability 
(AGID) Program Data Portal at https://www.agid.acl.gov/.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website 
for review at https://acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
