ADDRESSES section of this notice or by

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice by the date 

specified in the DATES section of this 

notice. This meeting will be held in a 

federal government building, the Hubert 

H. Humphrey (HHH) Building; 

therefore, federal security measures are 

applicable. 

The REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 

109–13) establishes minimum standards 

for the issuance of state-issued driver’s 

licenses and identification (ID) cards. It 

prohibits federal agencies from 

accepting an official driver’s license or 

ID card from a state for any official 

purpose unless the Secretary of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

determines that the state meets these 

standards. Beginning October 2015, 

photo IDs (such as a valid driver’s 

license) issued by a state or territory not 

in compliance with the Real ID Act will 

not be accepted as identification to enter 

federal buildings. Visitors from these 

states/territories will need to provide 

alternative proof of identification (such 

as a valid passport) to gain entrance into 

federal buildings. The current list of 

states from which a federal agency may 

accept driver’s licenses for an official 

purpose is found at http://www.dhs.gov/ 

real-id-enforcement-brief. 

We recommend that confirmed 

registrants arrive reasonably early, but 

no earlier than 45 minutes prior to the 

start of the meeting, to allow additional 

time to clear security. Security measures 

include the following: 

• Presentation of a government-issued 

photographic identification to the 

Federal Protective Service or Guard 

Service personnel. 

• Inspection, via metal detector or 

other applicable means, of all persons 

entering the building. We note that all 

items brought into HHH Building, 

whether personal or for the purpose of 

presentation or to support a 

presentation, are subject to inspection. 

We cannot assume responsibility for 

coordinating the receipt, transfer, 

transport, storage, set up, safety, or 

timely arrival of any personal 

belongings or items used for 

presentation or to support a 

presentation. 

Note: Individuals who are not 

registered in advance will not be 

permitted to enter the building and will 

be unable to attend the meeting. 

IV. Collection of Information 

This document does not impose 

information collection requirements, 

that is, reporting, recordkeeping or 

third-party disclosure requirements. 

Consequently, there is no need for 

review by the Office of Management and 

Budget under the authority of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35). 

Dated: December 14, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. The Act of 1973 

requires three Independent Living 

program reports: (1) State Plan for 

Independent Living, (2) ILS PPR, and (3) 

Center for Independent Living (CIL) 

PPR. The ILS PPR and CIL PPR were 

previously combined into one 

submission. However, for the purposes 

of this data collection, the ILS PPR and 

CIL PPR are being submitted separately 

because they are separate collections of 

different information from different 

parties. Separating these PRA processes 

reduces confusion and increases the 

Independent Living Administration’s 

(ILA) ability to identify issues specific 

to designated state entities (DSEs) and 

Statewide Independent Living Councils 

(SILCs). This request is for the ILS PPR, 

which is submitted annually by the 

SILC and DSE in every state that 

receives Subchapter B funds. The ILS 

PPRs are used by ACL to assess 

grantees’ compliance with title VII of 

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as 

amended, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations, and with 

applicable provisions of the HHS 

Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The ILS 

PPR serves as the primary basis for 

ACL’s monitoring activities in 

fulfillment of its responsibilities under 

sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The 

PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL 

and SILC training and technical 

assistance programs authorized by 

section 721 of the Act. The data is also 

used to meet the requirements of 

GPRAMA regarding performance 

measures. 31 U.S.C. 1115 (2011). 

The current version of the ILS PPR 

that ILA is requesting an extension for 

was approved by OMB, but will expire 

on December 31, 2018. ILA plans to 

substantively review the data collection 

and publish a revised ILS program data 

collection instrument before the 

expiration of the extension request. 

The proposed data collection tools 

may be found on the ACL website for 

review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input.

Data collection form Comment ACL response 

One commenter asked whether ACL intends for states 

to use the new ILS PPR for the report that will be due 

in January 2019.

ACL does not intend for states to use the new ILS PPR 

for the report that will be due in January 2019.

No change has been made. 

One commenter asked whether ACL has an update on 

the publication of the revised CIL indicators.

ACL is updating the CIL indicators and expects to complete them by the extension’s end.No change has been made. 

One commenter asked whether there are other email 

lists related to IL services policies or programs that 

ACL has that DSEs could benefit from.

ACL knows of no other email lists related to IL services 

policies or programs that DSEs could benefit from 

being added to; the commenter might benefit from information provided by ILRU, the training and technical-assistance provider.

No change has been made. 

The proposed form(s) may be found 

on the ACL website at https://www.acl.

gov/about-acl/public-input. 

Estimated Program Burden 

ACL estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

Fifty-six jurisdictions—specifically, the 

fifty states, Puerto Rico, the District of 

Columbia, and the outlying areas—will 

each complete ILS PPRs annually, and 

it will take an estimated thirty-five 

hours per jurisdiction per ILS PPR. The 

fifty-six jurisdictions will take an 

estimated 1,960 hours per year to 

complete ILS PPRs. This burden 

estimate is based on what DSEs and 

SILCs have told ILA about how long 

filling out ILS PPRs took in previous 

reporting years.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

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 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 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. 

Authority: 

The Elder Justice Act of 2009 requires 

the Secretary of the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services to carry out 

a number of activities related to adult 

protective services (APS) (42 U.S.C. 

1397m–1), including developing and 

disseminating information on APS best 

practices and conducting research 

related to the provision of APS. 

Furthermore, the Elder Justice 

Coordinating Council included as its 

third recommendation for increasing 

federal involvement in addressing elder 

abuse, neglect, and exploitation: 

‘‘develop a national APS system based 

upon standardized data collection and a 

core set of service provision standards 

and best practices.’’ 

Background 

The Administration for Community 

Living (ACL) in the U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) 

plans to initiate an Inventory of Adult 

Protective Services Practices and 

Service Innovations (APS Practice 

Survey) during January and February of 

2019. Under a contract with ACL, the 

National Adult Protective Services 

Technical Assistance Resource Center 

(APS TARC) is conducting a national 

program evaluation of APS programs. 

As part of this evaluation, the APS 

Practice Survey will identify barriers to 

meeting policy mandates and practice 

innovations and model programs that 

address such barriers and communityVerDate Sep<11>2014 20:07 Dec 21, 2018 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\26DEN1.SGM 26DEN1
