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) Independent 
Living Services (ILS) Program Performance Report (PPR), and (3) Centers 
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. This will result in a new OMB 
approval number for the CIL program. Separating these PRA processes 
reduces confusion and increases the Independent Living Administration's 
(ILA) ability to identify issues specific to DSEs and Statewide 
Independent Living Councils. This request is for the CIL PPR, which is 
submitted annually by all CILs receiving Subchapter C funds. The CIL 
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 Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. 
The CIL 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 CIL PPR enables ACL to track performance outcomes and 
efficiency measures of the CIL programs with respect to the annual and 
long-term performance targets established in compliance with GPRA. 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 current version of the CIL PPR that ILA is requesting an 
extension for was approved by OMB, but will expire on December 31, 
2018. ILA plans to publish a revised CIL program data collection 
instrument before the expiration of the extension request.

Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice

    A notice was published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2018 
(Vol. 83, Number 2018-22754; pp. 53064-53065).
    We received a comment that applied to this notice, as indicated

Estimated Program Burden

    ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows: 353 Centers for Independent Living will each complete one CIL 
PPR annually, and it will take an estimated 35 hours per CIL for an 
estimated total of 12,355 hours. This burden estimate is based partly 
on ILA's estimates of how long CILs take to find the information that 
PPRs ask for and partly on what CILs have told ILA about how long CILs 
spend filling out PPRs.
