National aggregation of data related to
measurable goals is necessary for the
Government Performance and Results
Act (31 U.S.C. 1115) as well as an
Annual Report to Congress. Therefore,
this data collection instrument provides
a way for all 56 grantees—50 U.S. states,
DC, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, and the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
Islands to collect and report data on
their performance in a consistent
manner, including a uniform survey to
be given to consumers. This uniform
survey is included as part of the data
collection package.
The AT Act (29 U.S.C. 3006(d))
requires that ACL submit to Congress an
annual report on the activities
conducted under the Act and an
analysis of the progress of the states and
outlying areas in meeting their
measurable goals. This report must
include a compilation and summary of
the data collected under Section 3003(f).
In order to make this possible, states
and outlying areas must provide their
data uniformly. This data collection
instrument was developed to ensure
that all 56 states and outlying areas
report data in a consistent manner in
alignment with the requirements of
Section 3003(f).
As stated above, ACL will use the
information collected via this
instrument to:
(1) Complete the annual report to
Congress required by the AT Act;
(2) Comply with reporting
requirements under the Government
Performance and Results Act; and
(3) Assess the progress of states and
outlying areas regarding measurable
goals.
Data collected from the grantees will
provide a national description of
activities funded under the AT Act to
increase the access to and acquisition of
AT devices and services through
statewide AT programs for individuals
with disabilities and older adults. Data
collected from grantees will also
provide information for usage by
Congress, the Department, and the
public. In addition, ACL will use this
data to inform program management,
monitoring, and technical assistance
efforts. States will be able to use the
data for internal management and
program improvement.
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. This
information collection has three pieces:
(A) A web-based system that collects
data from states and outlying areas. The
56 grantees report to ACL using the
web-based data collection system. A
workgroup of grantees estimated that

the average amount of time required to
complete all responses to the data
collection instrument is 80 hours
annually. The estimated response
burden includes time to review the
instructions, gather existing data, and
complete and review the data entries.
These estimates are based on the
experience of staff who implement these
programs at the state level. In addition,
ACL projects that clean-up and
clarification of data elements will
require no change in data burden
estimates.
(B) A performance measurement
survey that states and outlying areas
collect from individuals. The 56
grantees ask consumers to complete
surveys that provide information on
their performance related to the state’s
measurable goals. Historical data from
states indicates that the average state
will ask for this information from 3,242
consumers at one minute per consumer
to complete the question survey, for a
total of 54 hours annually.
(C) A customer satisfaction survey
that states and outlying areas collect
from individuals. The 56 grantees also
ask consumers to complete customer
satisfaction surveys. Historical data
from states indicated that the average
state asks for this information from
3,242 consumers at one minute per
consumer, for a total of 54 annual
burden hours.
