SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3506), the 

Administration for Community Living 

(ACL) has submitted the following 

proposed collection of information to 

OMB for review and clearance. Section 

4 of the 21st Century Assistive 

Technology 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 territories). With 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
14666 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Notices 

these funds, states and territories 

operate ‘‘Statewide AT Programs’’ that 

conduct activities to increase access to 

and acquisition of assistive technology 

(AT) for individuals with disabilities 

and older Americans. Divided into two 

comprehensive activity categories: 

‘‘State-level Activities’’ and ‘‘State 

Leadership Activities’’ a condition of 

receiving a grant to support their 

Statewide AT Programs, the states and 

territories must provide to ACL an 

application and annual progress reports 

on their activities. 

Applications: The application 

required of states and territories 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 section 4(d) of 

the 21st Century Assistive Technology 

Act (29 U.S.C. 3003(d)). 

Annual Reports: In addition to 

submitting a State Plan, every three 

years, states and territories are required 

to submit annual progress reports on 

their activities. The data required in that 

progress report is specified in section 

4(f) of the 21st Century Assistive 

Technology Act (29 U.S.C. 3003(f)). 

National aggregation of data related to 

measurable goals is necessary for the 

Government Performance and Results 

Modernization Act (31 U.S.C. 1115) as 

well as an Annual Report to Congress. 

Therefore, this data collection 

instrument provides a way for all 56 

grantees—50 U.S. states, DC, Puerto 

Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 

American Samoa, and the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana 

Islands to collect and report data on 

their performance in a consistent 

manner, including a uniform survey to 

be given to consumers. This uniform 

survey is included as part of the data 

collection package. 

Section 8(d) of the 21st Century 

Assistive Technology Act (29 U.S.C. 

3006(d)) requires that ACL submit to 

Congress an annual report on the 

activities conducted under the Act and 

an analysis of the progress of the states 

and outlying areas in meeting their 

measurable goals. This report must 

include a compilation and summary of 

the data collected under section 4(f) (29 

U.S.C. 3003(f)). In order to make this 

possible, states and territories must 

provide their data uniformly. This data 

collection instrument was developed to 

ensure that all 56 states and territories 

report data in a consistent manner in 

alignment with the requirements of 

section 4(f) (29 U.S.C. 3003(f)). 

ACL will use the information 

collected via this instrument to: 

(1) Complete the annual report to 

Congress required by the 21st Century 

Assistive Technology Act; 

(2) Comply with reporting 

requirements under the Government 

Performance and Results Modernization 

Act; and 

(3) Assess the progress of states and 

territories regarding measurable goals. 

Data collected from the grantees will 

provide a national description of 

activities funded under the AT Act to 

increase the access to and acquisition of 

AT devices and services through 

statewide AT programs for individuals 

with disabilities and older adults. Data 

collected from grantees will also 

provide information for usage by 

Congress, the Department, and the 

public. 

In addition, ACL will use this data to 

inform program management, 

monitoring, and technical assistance 

efforts. States and territories will be able 

to use the data for internal management 

and program improvement.

Public Comment Summary 

Proposed overall updates to the 

Assistive Technology (AT) Annual 

Progress Report (APR) information 

collection (IC) instrument and 

instruction manual to align with the 

reauthorization of the Assistive 

Technology Act. 

Comment Summary for Comments 

received as of February 21, 2024: Three 

State AT Act Program grantees 

commented in support of the proposed 

updates to the AT APR IC as reasonable 

changes to align with the 21st Century 

Assistive Technology Act. 

ACL Response: ACL Acknowledged 

receipt of comment. 

Comments: 

(1) Nevada Assistive Technology 

Collaborative: Regarding the AT APR, 

just wanted to let you know that I 

support the proposed changes and 

appreciate ACL making reasonable 

changes to align with the new AT Act. 

I believe the changes are appropriate 

and appreciate that they do not 

significantly increase data collection 

and reporting burden. 

(2) The Illinois Assistive Technology 

Program (IATP) supports the proposed 

changes to the Annual Progress Report. 

We greatly appreciate the fact that there 

are no additional data collection 

elements that would be burdensome to 

IATP and negatively impact our ability 

to provide quality direct services to 

customers. If you have any questions, 

please reach out to me. 

(3) Michigan Assistive Technology 

Program: These guidelines make sense 

and will not be a burden to us. Thank 

you for all of your work on this—we 

look forward to sharing the activities 

Michigan is completing to increase 

access to AT for people with disabilities 

in Michigan. 

Estimated Program Burden: ACL 

estimates the burden of this collection 

of information as follows: 

As stated above, this information 

collection has 3 pieces: 

(A) A web-based system that collects 

data from states and territories. Fifty-six 

grantees report to ACL using the webbased data collection system. A 

workgroup of grantees estimated that 

the average amount of time required to 

complete all responses to the data 

collection instrument is 80 hours 

annually. The estimated response 

burden includes time to review the 

instructions, gather existing data, and 

complete and review the data entries. 

These estimates are based on the 

experience of staff who implement these 

programs at the state level. In addition, 

we project that clean-up and 

clarification of data elements will 

require no change in data burden 

estimates. 

(B) A performance measurement 

survey that states and territories collect 

from individuals. The fifty-six grantees 

ask consumers to complete surveys that 

provide information on their 

performance related to the state’s 

measurable goals. Historical data from 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 40 / Wednesday, February 28, 2024 / Notices 14667 

states and territories indicates that the 

average state will ask for this 

information from 3,242 consumers at 1 

minute per consumer to complete the 

question survey, for a total of 54 hours 

annually. 

(C) A customer satisfaction survey 

that states and territories collect from 

individuals. The fifty-six grantees also 

ask consumers to complete customer 

satisfaction surveys. Historical data 

from states indicated that the average 

state asks for this information from 

3,242 consumers at 1 minute per 

consumer, for a total of 54 annual 

burden hours.

National Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Program; List of Petitions Received 

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services 

Administration (HRSA), Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: HRSA is publishing this 

notice of petitions received under the 

National Vaccine Injury Compensation 

Program (the Program), as required by 

the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as 

amended. While the Secretary of HHS is 

named as the respondent in all 

proceedings brought by the filing of 

petitions for compensation under the 

Program, the United States Court of 

Federal Claims is charged by statute 

with responsibility for considering and 

acting upon the petitions. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

information about requirements for 

filing petitions, and the Program in 

general, contact Lisa L. Reyes, Clerk of 

Court, United States Court of Federal 

Claims, 717 Madison Place NW, 

Washington, DC 20005, (202) 357–6400. 

For information on HRSA’s role in the 

Program, contact the Director, National 

Vaccine Injury Compensation Program,

6593, or visit our website at: http://

www.hrsa.gov/vaccinecompensation/ 

index.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Program provides a system of no-fault 

compensation for certain individuals 

who have been injured by specified 

childhood vaccines. Subtitle 2 of title 

XXI of the PHS Act, 42 U.S.C. 300aa– 

10 et seq., provides that those seeking 

compensation are to file a petition with 

the United States Court of Federal 

Claims and to serve a copy of the 

petition to the Secretary of HHS, who is 

named as the respondent in each 

proceeding. The Secretary has delegated 

this responsibility under the Program to 

HRSA. The Court is directed by statute 

to appoint special masters who take 

evidence, conduct hearings as 

appropriate, and make initial decisions 

as to eligibility for, and amount of, 

compensation. 

A petition may be filed with respect 

to injuries, disabilities, illnesses, 

conditions, and deaths resulting from 

vaccines described in the Vaccine Injury 

Table (the Table) set forth at 42 CFR 

100.3. This Table lists for each covered 

childhood vaccine the conditions that 

may lead to compensation and, for each 

condition, the time period for 

occurrence of the first symptom or 

manifestation of onset or of significant 

aggravation after vaccine 

administration. Compensation may also 

be awarded for conditions not listed in 

the Table and for conditions that are 

manifested outside the time periods 

specified in the Table, but only if the 

petitioner shows that the condition was 

caused by one of the listed vaccines. 

Section 2112(b)(2) of the PHS Act, 42 

U.S.C. 300aa–12(b)(2), requires that 

‘‘[w]ithin 30 days after the Secretary 

receives service of any petition filed 

under section 2111 the Secretary shall 

publish notice of such petition in the 

Federal Register.’’ Set forth below is a 

list of petitions received by HRSA on 

January 1, 2024, through January 31, 

2024. This list provides the name of the 

petitioner, city, and state of vaccination 

(if unknown then the city and state of 

the person or attorney filing the claim), 

and case number. In cases where the 

Court has redacted the name of a 

petitioner and/or the case number, the 

list reflects such redaction. 

Section 2112(b)(2) also provides that 

the special master ‘‘shall afford all 

interested persons an opportunity to 

submit relevant, written information’’ 

relating to the following: 

1. The existence of evidence ‘‘that 

there is not a preponderance of the 

evidence that the illness, disability, 

injury, condition, or death described in 

the petition is due to factors unrelated 

to the administration of the vaccine 

described in the petition,’’ and 

2. Any allegation in a petition that the 

petitioner either: 

a. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly 

aggravated, any illness, disability, 

injury, or condition not set forth in the 

Vaccine Injury Table but which was 

caused by’’ one of the vaccines referred 

to in the Table, or 

b. ‘‘[S]ustained, or had significantly 

aggravated, any illness, disability, 

injury, or condition set forth in the 

Vaccine Injury Table the first symptom 

or manifestation of the onset or 

significant aggravation of which did not 

occur within the time period set forth in 

the Table but which was caused by a 

vaccine’’ referred to in the Table. 

In accordance with section 2112(b)(2), 

all interested persons may submit 

written information relevant to the 

issues described above in the case of the 

petitions listed below. Any person 

choosing to do so should file an original 

and three (3) copies of the information 

with the Clerk of the United States 

Court of Federal Claims at the address 

listed above (under the heading FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), with a 

copy to HRSA addressed to Director,
