SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA, 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 

as and includes agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. The PRA 

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. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, ACL invites 

comments on our burden estimates or 

any other aspect of this collection of 

information, including: 

(1) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of ACL’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of ACL’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used 

to determine burden estimates; 

(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 using automated 

collection techniques when appropriate, 

and other forms of information 

technology. 

The Independent Living Services 

(ILS) program provides financial 

assistance, through formula grants, to all 

fifty states, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, Guam, and US Virgin Islands 

for expanding, and improving the

provision of, IL services. The Designated 

State Entity (DSE) is the agency that, on 

behalf of the state, receives, accounts 

for, and disburses funds received under 

Part B of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 

as amended (the Act). Funds are also 

made available for the provision of 

training and technical assistance to 

Statewide Independent Living Councils 

(SILCs). The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 

as amended, requires three IL program 

reports: (1) State Plan for Independent 

Living (SPIL); (2) ILS Program 

Performance Report; and (3) Center for 

Independent Living (CIL) Program 

Performance Report. 

This request is for the ILS PPR, which 

is submitted annually by the SILC and 

DSE in every state, territory, and 

outlying area that receives Part B funds 

and in the District of Columbia. 

The ILS 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 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. 

ACL will adhere to best practices for 

collection of all demographic 

information in accordance with OMB 

guidance—including, but not limited to 

guidance specific to the collection of 

sexual orientation and gender identity 

(SOGI) items that support alignment 

with Executive Order 13985 on 

Advancing Racial Equity and Support 

for Underserved Communities Through 

the Federal Government, Executive 

Order 14075 on Advancing Equality for 

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, 

Queer, and Intersex Individuals, and 

Executive Order 13988 on Preventing 

and Combating Discrimination on the 

Basis of Gender Identity and Sexual 

Orientation. Understanding these 

disparities can and should lead to 

improved service delivery for ACL’s 

programs and populations. 

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: 

The PPR Instrument and Instructions 

will be sent to representatives of fifty 

states, the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, American Samoa, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands, Guam, and US Virgin Islands. 

The approximate burden for completion 

will be thirty-six hours per respondent, 

which includes time to review the 

instructions, read the questions, and 

complete responses. This results in a 

total survey burden estimate of 2,016 

hours.
