-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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, 
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 
to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This 
notice solicits comments on the proposed Extension without change for 
the information collection requirements related to State Health 
Insurance Assistance Program Annual Sub-Recipients Report OMB Control 
Number 0985-0070.

DATES: Comments on the collection of information must be submitted 
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or postmarked by December 26, 2023.

Street SW, Washington, DC 20201, Attention: Margaret Flowers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: [email protected], (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(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 as 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) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (3) 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;
    (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 information collection gathers sub-award data required from 
State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) grantees to provide 
the amount of federal funds provided annually to each sub-contractor 
and sub-grantee that are delivering SHIP services. Congress requires 
this data collection for program monitoring of the SHIP under the 
Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, SEC. 50207 (b). Collection of this data 
allows ACL to communicate with Congress and the public on the SHIP 
network of agencies. The data collected is electronically posted on the 
ACL website to educate the network on who the SHIP state sub-recipients 
are and how much money they are receiving.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website 
for review at https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
    Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the respondent burden hours 
to prepare and complete all reports associated with this collection 
will be hours.
