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.
Under ACL’s Office of Healthcare
Information and Counseling, the Senior
Medicare Patrol (SMP) programs recruit
and train a national network of staff and
volunteers to help ‘‘prevent, detect, and

report Medicare fraud, errors, and
abuse.’’ 1 The SMP supports programs in
every state, the District of Columbia,
and in U.S. territories through grants.
Additionally, the SMP Resource Center,
established in 2003, assists SMP
grantees in networking and provides
tools, training, and technical assistance
to SMPs. To promote and advance
equity in its programming, ACL is
conducting interviews with SMP
program directors or their designee to
better understand their activities and
their experiences in program
implementation and in reaching lowincome and rural Medicare
beneficiaries.
Specifically, this IC will allow ACL to
understand (1) how SMP grantees
conceive of program priorities; (2)
successes and challenges SMP grantees
experience in implementing activities
and in reaching low-income and rural
Medicare beneficiaries; and (3) which
programs need clarification on
programmatic priority expectations or
additional support to conduct their
activities.
Up to 54 SMP grantee representatives
and one SMP Resource Center
representative will be invited to
participate in a 75-minute web-based
interview. Findings from the interviews
will inform ACL’s strategy to support
SMP grantees in achieving program
priorities and to promote equitable
access to SMP activities for low-income
and rural Medicare beneficiaries.
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 54 SMP grantee
project directors or their designees and
one representative from the SMP
Resource Center are expected to
participate in interviews over
videoconferencing. The approximate
burden for participation in interviews is
1.25 hours per respondent for a total
estimate of 68.75 hours.
