The State Councils on Developmental Disabilities (Councils) are authorized in Subtitle B, of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act), as amended, [42 U.S.C. 15001 et seq.] (The DD Act). The DD Act requires Councils to submit a five-year State plan. Section 124(a) [42 U.S.C. 15024(a)], states that: Any State desiring to receive assistance under this subtitle shall submit to the Secretary, and obtain approval of, a 5-year strategic State plan under this section. The DD Act regulations outlines additional guiding requirements in 45 CFR part 1326.30(a), which states that: In order to receive Federal financial assistance under this subpart, each State Developmental Disabilities Council must prepare and submit to the Secretary, and have in effect, a State plan which meets the requirements of sections 122 and 124 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 6022 and 6024) and these regulations.

(PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish a notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and

Disabilities State Plan OMB control number 0985-0029.

[email protected].

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 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.
    The State Councils on Developmental Disabilities (Councils) are 
authorized in Subtitle B, of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance 
and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act), as amended, [42 U.S.C. 15001 
et seq.] (The DD Act). The DD Act requires Councils to submit a five-
year State plan. Section 124(a) [42 U.S.C. 15024(a)], states that: Any 
State desiring to receive assistance under this subtitle shall submit 
to the Secretary, and obtain approval of, a 5-year strategic State plan 
under this section. The DD Act regulations outlines additional guiding 
requirements in 45 CFR part 1326.30(a), which states that: In order to 
receive Federal financial assistance under this subpart, each State 
Developmental Disabilities Council must prepare and submit to the 
Secretary, and have in effect, a State plan which meets the 
requirements of sections 122 and 124 of the Act (42 U.S.C. 6022 and 
6024) and these regulations.
    The Council is responsible for the development, and submission of 
the State plan as well as implementation of the activities described in 
the plan. The Council updates the Sate plan annually during the five 
years. The State plan provides information on individuals with 
developmental disabilities in the State, and a description of the 
services available to them and their families. The State plan sets 
forth the goals and specific objectives to be achieved by the State 
Council in pursuing systems change and capacity building that result in 
empowering people with developmental disabilities to lead independent 
lives within the community. It describes State priorities, strategies, 
and actions, and the allocation of funds to meet these goals and 
objectives. Additionally, the data collected in the State plan and 
submitted to ACL is also used to comply with the GPRA Modernization Act 
of 2010 (GPRAMA).
    The State Plan is used in three ways. First, it provides a 
framework for citizens, State governments, and other key stakeholder to 
provide input and comments to help shape the goals and objectives 
during the development stage. Secondly, it is used by each Council as a 
planning document to operationalize its goals and strategies. Finally, 
it provides information the Department needs for monitoring and 
providing technical assistance to ensure the Council is compliant.
    This is a revision of a currently approved information collect that 
expires March 30, 2023. To ensure the DD Council State plan is 
consistent with the 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 intends to determine 
whether sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data elements 
need to be adapted prior to adding them to ensure accessibility of the 
questions for individuals with intellectual and developmental 
disabilities.
    The proposed data collection tool may be found on the ACL website 
for review at: https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
    Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden of this 
collection of information as follows:
