[[Page 7183]]

``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. 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;
    (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.
    This is a revision to a currently approved information collection 
(IC), the Department replaced four existing Protection and Advocacy 
Program Performance Reports under one IC in March 2019. This is termed 
One-PPR. The four annual reports included the following: (1) 
Developmental Disabilities Protection and Advocacy Systems Program 
Performance Report, (2) Protection and Advocacy for Assistive 
Technology (PAAT) Program Performance Report; (3) Protection and 
Advocacy Voting Access Annual Report (Help America Vote Act) (HAVA); 
and (4) Protection and Advocacy for Traumatic Brain Injury (PATBI) 
Program Performance Report. This revision includes data elements based 
on funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to 
increase access to COVID-19 vaccines (ACCESS), and expand the Public 
Health Workforce (PHWF), provided under Section 2501 of the American 
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Pub. L. 117-2). Each P&A submits one report 
(One-PPR) for four funding sources, administered by ACL. As with each 
funding source, there is a reporting requirement. In an effort to 
reduce the burden of the P&As, each will continue to submit one report 
for all funding sources; however, as of FY2022, the report will 
incorporate the activities undertaken for the ACCESS and PHWF funding, 
by creating a new goal or priority in Part 2C, and adding the narrative 
in Part 2.C.4 (Rationale for Adding/Changing Goal) or 2.C.5 (Rationale 
for Adding/Changing Priority). The guidance document provides a 
description of the data elements to be included in this section of the 
One-PPR template.
    State Protection and Advocacy (P&A) Systems in each State and 
Territory provide individual legal advocacy, systemic advocacy, 
monitoring and investigations to protect and advance the rights of 
people with developmental disabilities, using funding administered by 
the Administration on Disabilities (AoD), Administration for Community 
Living, HHS. To meet statutory reporting requirements, P&As use these 
forms for submitting annual reports.
    The PPRs are reviewed by federal staff for compliance and outcomes. 
Information in the reports is analyzed to create a national profile of 
programmatic compliance, outcomes, and goals and priorities for P&A 
Systems for tracking accomplishments against goals and to formulate 
areas of technical assistance related to compliance with Federal 
requirements. Information collected informs AoD of trends in P&A 
advocacy, facilitate collaboration with other federally funded 
entities, and identify best practices for the efficient use of federal 
funds. Additionally, the information is used to provide a national 
perspective on where the program is going (prospective view), and to 
provide a gage for program accomplishments against program objectives 
for purposes of identifying continuing challenges and formulating 
technical assistance and management support provided to P&A systems.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website 
for review at: https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
