Community Living, mary.darnell@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL
has submitted the following proposed
collection of information to OMB for
review and clearance.
The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) is requesting approval for
a revised data collection associated with
the National Institute on Disability,
Independent Living, and Rehabilitation
Research (NIDILRR) Grantee Annual
Performance Reporting (APR) and Final
Report Forms.
This information collection collects
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 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.
Number of
respondents
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.
