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 as and includes agency 
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, 
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The PRA 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;

[[Page 48428]]

    (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.
    ACL contracts with a national legal assistance resource center, the 
National Center on Law and Elder Rights, to provide the required 
services. Through the contract, ACL provides aging, disability, and 
related legal professionals with training and complex case 
consultations and support for demonstration projects regarding 
contractually identified priority legal topics. The purpose of the 
information requested is for ACL to ensure that the resource center 
creates and prioritizes the training, case consultations and technical 
assistance resources it was contracted to provide and to ensure that 
the center targets the contractually designated aging network 
practitioners about the priority subject matters. This approach enables 
ACL to make data-informed decisions about the deployment of its 
resource center assets. These data are necessary for ACL to evaluate 
contractual compliance with established performance indicators.
    These metrics include quantifiable increases in uptake by 
stakeholders of training, case consultation and technical assistance, 
and measures of satisfaction with and perceived benefit from these 
services. For example, the metrics measure successful problem 
resolution as a result of the services provided and quantifiable data 
on fulfillment of requests for training, technical assistance, and 
consultation related to the contractually designated legal and systems 
development topic areas. The information requested by ACL from legal 
and aging/disability professionals falls into the following areas: (1) 
Requests for training, case consultation, and technical assistance 
through an online, secure Uniform Resource Support Request Tool; (2) 
general requests for Legal Training (including the volume of Webinar 
registrations), Case Consultation.
