Agency Information Collection
Activities: Proposed Collection; Public
Comment Request; of ACL’s Lifespan
Respite Program Grantee Performance
Measurement Reporting Tool
Administration for Community
Living, Department of Health and
Human Services.
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
(PRA), Federal agencies are required to
publish a notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
data or other information and to allow
60 days for public comment in response
to the notice. This information
collection (IC) solicits comments on the
IC requirements, outlined in the
Lifespan Respite Care Reauthorization
Act of 2020, Section 2904, which
requires Lifespan Respite Care Program
grantees to report data, information, and
metrics for the purpose of program
evaluation. Such data, information, and
metrics are to be used to identify ‘‘. . .
effective programs and activities funded
. . .’’ through ACL’s Lifespan Respite
Care Program grants.
DATES: Comments on the collection of
information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or
postmarked by December 27, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic
comments on the collection of
information to: Emily Anozie, Email:
emily.anozie@acl.hhs.gov, Phone: (202)
795–7347. Submit written comments on
the collection of information to
Administration for Community Living,
330 C Street SW, Washington, DC,
20201, Attention: Emily Anozie.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Emily Anozie, Email emily.anozie@
acl.hhs.gov, or Phone (202) 795–7347.
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 the PRA 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
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;
(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; and
(5) this IC collects Caregiver and Care
Recipient demographics. Demographic
questions include information about
age, gender identity, transgender, sexual
orientation, geographic location,
ethnicity, and race. Racial equity and
sexual orientation and gender identity
(SOGI) data elements are consistent
with recommendations regulated under
Executive Order on Advancing Racial
Equity and Support for Underserved
Communities Through the Federal
Government and the Executive Order on
Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and
Intersex Individuals.
ACL’s Office of Supportive and
Caregiver Services aims to improve
Lifespan Respite Care Program grantee
performance measurement and tracking
through a new quantitative grantee
reporting tool. The existing reporting
template used by most ACL grantees
funded from discretionary sources
consists of four open-ended, narrative
questions related to program
implementation and outputs, making
comparisons between different grant
periods and grantees challenging. The
proposed tool will allow ACL to meet
the additional requirements stated in
Section 2904 of the Lifespan Respite
Care Reauthorization Act of 2020, by
adding quantitative data elements to the
existing reporting requirements in
accordance with program statute. This
tool will allow for more effective
tracking of how federal funds are being

65068
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 207 / Thursday, October 27, 2022 / Notices
used, including aggregate data on
people served and program
development toward stated goals.
In this IC, the new quantitative grant
reporting tool will be disseminated to
all new Lifespan Respite Program
grantees upon grant award. Specifically,
the tool will collect information related
to respite care services delivered,
caregiver demographics, care recipient
demographics, respite training, and
lifespan respite program systems and
providers. Ultimately, this reporting
will assist ACL’s Office of Supportive
and Caregiver Services to assess the
performance of the Lifespan Respite
Program grantees in improving the
delivery and quality of respite services
for family caregivers of children and
adults of all ages with special needs.
The proposed data collection tools
may be found on the ACL website for
review at: https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL
estimates the burden of this collection
of information as follows:
A maximum of 40 grantees are
expected to respond to the grant
reporting tool semiannually. The
approximate burden for completion may
be 6 hours per respondent for a total
estimate of 480 hours. The estimated
completion burden includes time to
review the instructions, read the
questions, compile information, and
complete responses.

The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) is currently engaged in an
effort to streamline and standardize
grantee profiles across three programs
managed by the Office of Healthcare
Information and Counseling (OHIC): the
State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP), Senior Medicare Patrol
(SMP), and Medicare Improvements for
Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA).
Grantees in each program must adhere
to a specific set of reporting
requirements and associated reporting
schedules outlined in their Program
Reporting Guidelines. While reporting
requirements are effective in ensuring
grantees data, there is no consistency or
uniformity in how individual grantees
submit their data. For example, SHIP
profiles currently exist; these profiles
are accessible to the SHIP grantee
network via the program’s technical
assistance center, and they can be
updated directly by grantee states. SMP
and MIPPA profiles have yet to be
developed. The goal of this data
collection effort is to obtain consistent
data elements for the three programs
that will allow ACL to reimagine the
