SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

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

Administration for Community Living 

(ACL) has submitted the following 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for review and clearance. The 

Older American’s Act requires that ACL 

evaluate demonstration projects 

intended to be brought to scale. It also 

requires prioritization of projects that 

address the needs of underserved 

populations and promote partnerships 

between community-based service 

providers. 

To fulfill the evaluation requirements 

and allow for optimal federal and statelevel management of ACL’s Alzheimer’s 

Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI), 

specific information must be collected 

from grantees. The current reporting 

tool is set to expire December 31, 2023. 

The ADPI Project Officer has reviewed 

the current data collection procedures to 

ensure the acceptability of these items 

as appropriate while minimizing burden 

for grantees. The result of this process 

is the proposed modifications to the 

existing data collection tool. ACL is 

aware that different grantees have 

different data collection capabilities. It 

is understood that, following the 

approval of the modified data collection 

tool, ACL will work with its grantees to 

offer regular training to ensure minimal 

burden. 

This information collection collects 

demographic data from people receiving 

programs and services funded by HHS. 

ACL will adhere to best practices for 

collection of all demographic 

information when this information is 

collected for the programs listed in 

accordance with OMB guidance. 

This includes, but is not limited to, 

guidance specific to the collection of 

sexual orientation and gender identity

(SOGI) items that align 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 served.

AGENCY: Administration for Community 

Living, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Community Living (ACL) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on the proposed collection of 

information listed above. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish a 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 information collection (IC) 

extension solicits comments on the 

information collection requirements 

relating to the Performance Data for 

State Grants for Assistive Technology 

Program Annual Progress Report (OMB 

Control Number 0985–0042). 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information must be submitted 

electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or 

postmarked by February 26, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to: Rob Groenendaal 

(Robert.Groenendaal@acl.hhs.gov). 

Submit written comments on the 

collection of information to 

Administration for Community Living, 

330 C Street SW, Washington, DC 

20201, Attention: Rob Groenendaal. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Robert Groenendaal, Administration for 

Community Living, 

Robert.Groenendaal@acl.hhs.gov, (202) 

795–7356. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506) 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’’ 

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 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 Assistive Technology Act of 1998 

(AT Act) (29 U.S.C. 3003) authorizes 

grants to public agencies in the 50 states 

and the District of Columbia, Puerto 

Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, 

American Samoa, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern 

Marianas (states and outlying areas). 

With these funds, states and outlying 

areas operate ‘‘Statewide AT Programs’’ 

that conduct activities to increase access 

to and acquisition of assistive 

technology (AT) for individuals with 

disabilities and older Americans. As a 

condition of receiving a grant to support 

their Statewide AT Programs, the states 

and outlying areas must provide to ACL 

an application and annual progress 

reports on their activities. 

Applications: The application 

required of states and outlying areas is 

a three-year State Plan for Assistive 

Technology (State Plan for AT or State 

Plan) (OMB No. 0985–0048). The 

content of the State Plan for AT is based 

on the requirements in 29 U.S.C. 

3003(d). 

Annual Reports: In addition to 

submitting a State Plan, every three 

years, states and outlying areas are 

required to submit annual progress 

reports on their activities. The data 

required in that progress report is 

specified at 29 U.S.C. 3003(f).
