FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shannon Skowronski, Administration for Community Living, evaluation@ acl.hhs.gov, (202) 795–7316. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3506), the Administration for Community Living (ACL) has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. In 1965, the Older Americans Act (OAA) was passed in response to concerns by policymakers about a lack of community social services for older adults. The OAA established authority for grants for community planning and social services, research and development projects, and personnel training in the field of aging. 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. OAA and EJA programs help advance ACL’s mission of supporting the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, older adults with disabilities, and their families and caregivers. This proposed information collection will gather program performance data for ACL formula and competitive grant programs authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA) and the Elder Justice Act (EJA), as required by and in accordance with Public Law 116–131 and 42 U.S.C. chapter 7, subchapter XX, division B (authorizing legislation); 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). The collection of program performance data is required for all ACL PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 grantees, including grants authorized by the OAA and EJA, to: (1) monitor achievement of program 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB), other federal departments, and public and private agencies, including legislatively required reports. ACL consistently looks for ways to streamline the collection of required program performance data. The proposed ACL Program Performance Report Generic Information Collection would provide an efficient mechanism for the collection of a core set of program performance data elements across OAA and EJA authorized programs necessary to ensure each programs indicators, demographics, priorities, and objectives are being achieved. The collection of this core set of performance elements will enable ACL to analyze program performance broadly across its grantee portfolio, while minimizing grantee reporting burden. Program offices will be given the opportunity to submit, for review and approval under this generic clearance, PPRs for their programs that address the core program performance elements. Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on December 5, 2023, at 88 FR 84335. ACL received two public comments. A summary of the comments and the ACL response is provided below: Comment One: Suggest including more specific instructions for completing the elements in the proposed ACL PPR template. ACL response: While ACL appreciates this suggestion, the instructions for E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 20664 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 58 / Monday, March 25, 2024 / Notices completing the elements must be somewhat broad to account for differences in the goals, objectives, and activities across the programs. Comment Two: Request confirmation that the grantee will be responsible for submitting a comprehensive PPR each reporting period to ACL (as opposed to having grantees’ subcontractors each submit individual reports to ACL). ACL response: Although grantees could work with their subcontractors to gather information to complete their PPR, grantees would be responsible for submitting a comprehensive PPR to ACL for the specified reporting period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. 3506), the Administration for Community Living (ACL) has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance. In 1965, the Older Americans Act (OAA) was passed 
in response to concerns by policymakers about a lack of community 
social services for older adults. The OAA established authority for 
grants for community planning and social services, research and 
development projects, and personnel training in the field of aging. 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. OAA and EJA programs help advance ACL's 
mission of supporting the independence, well-being, and health of older 
adults, older adults with disabilities, and their families and 
caregivers. This proposed information collection will gather program 
performance data for ACL formula and competitive grant programs 
authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA) and the Elder Justice Act 
(EJA), as required by and in accordance with Public Law 116-131 and 42 
U.S.C. chapter 7, subchapter XX, division B (authorizing legislation); 
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). The collection of program performance 
data is required for all ACL grantees, including grants authorized by 
the OAA and EJA, to: (1) monitor achievement of program 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 Office of Management and Budget (OMB), other federal

    ACL consistently looks for ways to streamline the collection of

mechanism for the collection of a core set of program performance data

being achieved. The collection of this core set of performance elements 
will enable ACL to analyze program performance broadly across its 
grantee portfolio, while minimizing grantee reporting burden. Program 
offices will be given the opportunity to submit, for review and 
approval under this generic clearance, PPRs for their programs that 
address the core program performance elements.

differences in the goals, objectives, and activities across the 
programs.

responsible for submitting a comprehensive PPR each reporting period to 
ACL (as opposed to having grantees' subcontractors each submit 
individual reports to ACL).
    ACL response: Although grantees could work with their 
subcontractors to gather information to complete their PPR, grantees 
would be responsible for submitting a comprehensive PPR to ACL for the 
specified reporting period.
