SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
BILLING CODE 0099–10–P
Description: The State PREP has
mandatory, formula allotments for state
and territories to apply. The process is
for states and territories to submit and
for ACYF/FYSB to collect their state
plans and semi-annual performance
progress reports.
Purpose and Use of the Information
Collection:
The state plan offers information
about the proposed state project and has
been and will continue to be used as the
primary basis to determine whether or
not the project meets the minimum
requirements of the legislation for the
grant award. There are no changes
proposed to the state plan; FYSB is
requesting to use these plans for another
3 years.
The Performance Progress Reports are
collected semi-annually and inform the
monitoring of the grantees’ program
design, program evaluation,
management improvement, service
quality, and compliance with agreed
upon goals. ACYF/FYSB has and will
continue to use the information to
ensure effective service delivery for
program participants. Finally, the data
from this collection will be used to
report outcomes and efficiencies and
will provide valuable information to
policy makers and key stakeholders in
the development of program and
research efforts. Changes are proposed
to the Performance Progress Reports and
include the addition of information
related to equity activities and strategies
to mitigate challenges.
Respondents: All 52 states and
territories that are still eligible to accept
their State PREP mandatory, formula
allotments for funding.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:35 Dec 04, 2023
Jkt 262001
Under the PRA, 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.
ACL invites comments on burden
estimates or other aspects 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.
ACL will adhere to best practices for
collection of all demographic
information when this information is
collected for the programs listed below
in accordance with OMB guidance. This
includes, but is not limited to, guidance
specific to the collection of sexual
orientation and gender identity (SOGI)
items that align with Executive Order
13985 on Advancing Racial Equity and
Support for Underserved Communities
Through the Federal Government,
Executive Order 14075 on Advancing
Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, Queer, and Intersex
Individuals and Executive Order 13988
on Preventing and Combating
Discrimination on the Basis of Gender
Identity and Sexual Orientation.
Understanding these disparities can and
should lead to improved service
delivery for ACL’s programs and
populations served.
Authorizing Legislation
In 1965, the Older Americans Act
(OAA) was passed in response to
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
84335
concerns by policymakers about a lack
of community social services for older
adults. The original legislation
established authority for grants for
community planning and social
services, research and development
projects, and personnel training in the
field of aging. The OAA was last
amended in 2020 (Pub. L. 116–131) and
authorizes a variety of social and health
services programs for older adults,
families, and caregivers. The Elder
Justice Act (EJA), passed in 2010, is the
first comprehensive legislation to
address the abuse, neglect, and
exploitation of older adults at the
federal level. The law authorized
programs and initiatives that coordinate
federal responses to elder abuse,
promote elder justice research and
innovation, support Adult Protective
Services systems, and provide
additional protections for residents of
long-term care facilities. OAA and EJA
programs help advance ACL’s mission
of supporting the independence, wellbeing, and health of older adults, older
adults with disabilities, and their
families and caregivers.
The OAA, EJA, 45 CFR 75.342
(monitoring and reporting program
performance), 45 CFR 75.301
(performance measurement), and the
GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub.
L. 111–352, Sec 12) require grantee
program performance monitoring and
reporting. Grantee program performance
reporting serves several functions,
enabling ACL to: (1) monitor program
achievement of performance objectives;
(2) identify areas of performance that
may benefit from technical assistance
and/or corrective action; (3) establish
program policy and direction; and (4)
prepare responses and reports for
Congress, the OMB, other federal
departments, and public and private
agencies, including legislatively
required reports.
In order to streamline the collection of
performance data and enhance efficacy,
ACL is requesting approval of a generic
IC for performance reporting for
programs authorized under the OAA
and EJA.
The proposed data collection
instruments may be found on the ACL
website for review at: https://
www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
Estimated Program Burden: ACL
estimated total annual burden for this
generic IC is 50,335.60 hours. This
estimate is based on the current number
of grantees for these programs, their
number of program performance
indicators, and previous ACL
experience with program performance
reporting.
