SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is requesting approval to collect data for the National Paralysis Resource Center (NPRC) to understand how and to what extent the NPRC is meeting its goals. The NPRC provides resources to people living with paralysis, their caregivers, and their support network. ACL is responsible for oversight of the NPRC, which has been administered by the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation since its authorization in 2009. This data collection effort will be focused on evaluating specific major SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 activities of the NPRC: (a) the Quality of Life (QOL) Grants Program; (b) the Peer and Family Support Program (PFSP); and (c) the Promotional Activities, Outreach, and Collaboration program. This evaluation seeks to identify barriers and challenges to operating the NPRC, document best practices for other Resource Centers, and recommend areas for improvement. Specifically, this IC will help ACL to understand how each major NPRC activity aims to achieve the following goals, and to what extent the activities affect related outcomes: a. Improving the health and quality of life of individuals living with paralysis of all ages, their families, and their support network; b. Raising awareness of members of the target populations about paralysis; c. Increasing access of members of the target populations to services relevant to individuals with paralysis; d. Increasing the empowerment, confidence, and independence of individuals living with paralysis; e. Strengthening support networks for individuals living with paralysis; and f. Improving and increasing opportunities for community living for individuals living with paralysis and their caretakers. To gain an in-depth understanding of the perspectives of mentors and peers participating in the PFSP, QOL program subgrantees, and people who serve as regional champions in the Promotional Activities, Outreach, and Collaboration program, eight focus groups will be conducted with no more than eight people per focus group. Additionally, a web-based survey will be administered to a maximum of 400 PFSP peers, 180 PFSP mentors, and 300 people served by QOL subgrantees to understand respondents’ experiences with the NPRC. This data will contribute to documenting how each of the NPRC’s major activities are delivered and the extent to which they improve the quality of life of people living with paralysis, their caregivers, and their support networks. Findings can inform practice for the NPRC and other Resource Centers. This evaluation will also help to identify how the NPRC can better meet the stated goals of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to, ‘‘protect and strengthen equitable access to high quality and affordable healthcare,’’ and to, ‘‘strengthen social well-being, equity, and economic resilience.’’ 1 1 FY 2023 Evaluation Plan (p. 3).

No public comments were received during the 60day FRN. Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: The eight focus groups together will include no more than 64 total individuals representing three major activities of the NPRC: the QOL Grants Program; the PFSP; and the Promotional Activities, Outreach, and Collaboration program. The burden for their participation is estimated at 1.5 hours per participant, for a total of 96 hours. A maximum of 180 PFSP mentors, 400 PFSP peers, and 300 people served by QOL subgrantee programs are expected to respond to the web-based survey, for a total of 880 respondents. The approximate burden for survey completion is 15 minutes for the peer Number of respondents Responses per respondent mentor survey, and 10 minutes for the peer survey and QOL end-user survey per respondent. In addition, an estimated 5 minute non-response survey will be administered to the PFSP mentors and PFSP peers who did not respond to the web-based survey. This results in a total survey burden estimate of 14,050 minutes (234.17 hours).
