relating to the Administration on

DATES: Comments on the collection of
information must be submitted
electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or
postmarked by January 16, 2024.

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

provision of, IL services. The Designated
State Entity (DSE) is the agency that, on
behalf of the state, receives, accounts
for, and disburses funds received under
Part B of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
as amended (the Act). Funds are also
made available for the provision of
training and technical assistance to
Statewide Independent Living Councils
(SILCs). The Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
as amended, requires three IL program
reports: (1) State Plan for Independent
Living (SPIL); (2) ILS Program
Performance Report; and (3) Center for
Independent Living (CIL) Program
Performance Report.
This request is for the ILS PPR, which
is submitted annually by the SILC and
DSE in every state, territory, and
outlying area that receives Part B funds
and in the District of Columbia.
The ILS PPRs are used by ACL to
assess grantees’ compliance with title
VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329
of the Code of Federal Regulations, and
with applicable provisions of the HHS
Basis of Gender Identity and Sexual
Orientation. Understanding these
disparities can and should lead to
improved service delivery for ACL’s
programs and populations.
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:
The PPR Instrument and Instructions
will be sent to representatives of fifty
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico, American Samoa, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, and US Virgin Islands.
The approximate burden for completion
will be thirty-six hours per respondent,
which includes time to review the
instructions, read the questions, and
complete responses. This results in a
total survey burden estimate of 2,016
hours.
