ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging (AoA) is announcing an opportunity 
for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by 
the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), 
Federal agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each 
proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to 
allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice 
solicits comments on the information collection requirements relating 
to Area Agency on Aging and Local Service Provider Study.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of 
information by May 3, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information 
to: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#167c7378787f707364387d7a79757f78657d7f56777977387e7e6538717960"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="cca6a9a2a2a5aaa9bee2a7a0a3afa5a2bfa7a58cada3ade2a4a4bfe2aba3ba">[email protected]</span></a>.
    Submit written comments on the collection of information to 
Administration on Aging, Office of Evaluation, Washington, DC 20201.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Klocinski at 202-357-0146.

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 request or requirements that members of 
the public

[[Page 9904]]

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, AoA is publishing notice of the proposed collection of 
information set forth in this document. With respect to the following 
collection of information, AoA invites comments on: (1) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of AoA's functions, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of AoA's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (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.
    The Administration on Aging collects annual program data at the 
state level and has sponsored studies to collect information regarding 
the Area Agencies on Aging. The third component of the Aging Network 
that administers and implements OAA programs, the Local Service 
Providers are poorly understood and characterized. The purpose of this 
data collection is to better understand the relationship between the 
Area Agencies on Aging and the Local Service Providers with whom they 
work to provide OAA programs to seniors. This data collection focuses 
on two areas: an investigation of the feasibility of compiling a 
national inventory of aging services providers; and an investigation of 
how Area Agencies on Aging utilize their providers to achieve program 
goals. This information will be used by AoA to determine the capacity 
of the provider network to meet the needs of the expected increase in 
the percentage of persons 60 years and older. The proposed data 
collection tools may be found on the AoA Web site at http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Program_Results/Program_Evaluation.aspx.
    AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows: 200 hours

    Dated: March 1, 2010.

Assistant Secretary for Aging.
