Affairs, OMB, New Executive Office 

Bldg., 725 17th St. NW, Rm. 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503, Attention: OMB 

Desk Officer for ACL. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Shannon Skowronski, ACL Office of 

Performance and Evaluation, phone:

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. This 

announcement solicits comments on the 

ACL Consolidated Program Performance 

Report, a mechanism to collect program 

performance reports for programs 

authorized by the Older Americans Act 

(Pub. L. 89–27 of 1965, as amended 

through Pub. L. 116–131 of 2020). The 

purpose of this new information 

collection request (ICR), is to collect 

program performance data for ACL 

formula and competitive grant programs 

authorized by the Older Americans Act 

(OAA), as required by and in 

accordance with Public Law 116–131 

and 42 U.S.C. chapter 7, subchapter XX, 

division B (authorizing legislation); 45 

CFR 75.342 (monitoring and reporting 

program performance); 45 CFR 75.301 

(performance measurement); and the 

GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–352, sec. 12). ACL is primarily a 

grant-making agency whose mission is 

to maximize the independence, wellbeing, and health of older adults, people 

with disabilities across the lifespan, and 

their families and caregivers by 

supporting partnerships and providing 

funding, guidance, training, and 

technical assistance. The collection of 

program performance data is required 

for all ACL grantees, including grants 

authorized by the OAA, to: 

1. Monitor achievement of program 

performance objectives, 

2. Identify areas of performance that 

may benefit from technical assistance 

and/or corrective action, 

3. Establish program policy and 

direction, and 

4. Prepare responses and reports for 

Congress, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB), the public, and 

legislatively required reports. 

If ACL did not collect program 

performance data, the agency would be 

unable to monitor and manage program 

performance as expected or develop 

program changes or improvements 

directed toward assuring the most 

effective use of limited OAA funds. ACL 

consistently looks for ways to 

streamline the collection of required 

program performance data. The 

proposed ACL Consolidated Program 

Performance Report is an efficient 

mechanism for the collection of program 

performance data elements across OAA 

authorized programs, and ensures each 

programs’ indicators, demographics, 

priorities, and objectives are being 

achieved. The collection of performance 

elements will enable ACL to analyze 

program performance broadly across its 

grantee portfolio, allowing ACL and its 

grantees to align measures over time. 

This new ICR will gather program 

performance data for OAA authorized 

grant programs under one consolidated 

report replacing OMB control numbers 

under the Performance (Progress) Report 

for AoA Grantees (0985–0006) and the 

State Performance Report for FY 2022– 

2025 (0985–0072). 

Comments in Response to the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice 

A 60-day notice published in the 

Federal Register on December 5, 2023, 

at 88 FR 84335–84336. This 30-day 

notice publication makes correction to 

the information collection type in the 

previous 30-day notice published in the 

Federal Register on March 25, 2024, at 

89 FR 20663–20664. That notice 

requested public comment on this 

information collection as a generic ICR. 

During the 60-day public comment 

period, ACL received two comments 

related to the ACL Program Performance 

Report Template. A summary of the 

comments and the ACL response is 

provided below: 

Comment #1: Suggest including more 

specific instructions for completing the 

elements in the proposed ACL Program 

Performance Report Template: 

ACL response: While ACL appreciates 

this suggestion, the instructions for 

completing the elements must be 

somewhat broad in order to account for 

differences in the goals, objectives, and 

activities across the programs. 

Comment #2: Request confirmation 

that the grantee will be responsible for 

submitting a comprehensive program 

performance report each reporting 

period to ACL (as opposed to having 

grantees’ subcontractors each submit 

individual reports to ACL). 

ACL response: Although grantees 

could work with their subcontractors to 

gather information to complete their 

program performance report, grantees 

would be responsible for submitting a 

comprehensive program performance 

report for the specified reporting period.

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
78880 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 187 / Thursday, September 26, 2024 / Notices 

purpose of this project is to improve the 

quality of life for people with 

intellectual and/or developmental 

disabilities (I/DD), brain injuries, and 

co-occurring mental health conditions 

by supporting state agencies with policy 

development, service design, and 

service coordination resources, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplementary funding will expand the 

Co-Occurring Resource Center for 

Individuals with ID/DD (The Link 

Center)’s engagement and technical 

assistance efforts around supporting 

people with co-occurring I/DD, brain 

injuries, and co-occurring mental health 

conditions to live well in the 

community. Additionally, this 

supplement includes funding from 

SAMHSA through an interagency 

agreement to perform an environmental 

assessment of cross-system strategies to 

support children with I/DD, brain 

injuries, and other neurodevelopmental 

disabilities who also have complex 

behavioral health conditions. As a result 

of funding this center and the 

environmental assessment, ACL 

expects: 

• Improved coordination between 

mental health, DD, Medicaid, and child 

welfare service systems to develop and/ 

or amend policies and practices that fill 

service gaps, recruit and train 

competent staff, and assure equitable 

access to quality services. 

• Increased number of mental health 

professionals and paraprofessionals, 

including community-based mobile 

crisis intervention service personnel, 

peer support workers, and service 

providers for the 988 Dialing Code for 

the National Suicide Prevention 

Lifeline, with the competencies needed 

to provide effective and culturally 

competent supports to individuals with 

co-occurring I/DD and mental health 

disabilities. 

• Increased number of community 

service providers, who have the 

capacity to support children and adults 

with I/DD and co-occurring mental 

health disabilities. 

• Improved awareness and 

knowledge of the strengths, needs, 

challenges, and systemic barriers 

experienced by children and adults with 

co-occurring I/DD and mental health 

disabilities. 

• Improved ability to deliver 

responsive and equitable programming, 

training, and technical assistance. 

• Increased self-determination, 

empowerment, and quality of life for 

people with co-occurring I/DD and 

mental health disabilities. 

• Enhanced service delivery 

infrastructure, including mechanisms 

for ongoing and sustained engagement 

of individuals with lived experience. 

This supplement will fund: 

• Enhanced efforts related to children 

and families, including development of 

relationships with key national child 

welfare organizations. 

• 10 focus groups of cross-system 

leaders in 10 states on system gaps 

resulting in adverse impacts on children 

with complex behavioral health needs. 

• An in-person summit with federal 

and state officials and subject matter 

experts to discuss findings from the 

environmental assessment of promising 

practices and gaps related to children 

with complex behavioral health needs. 

• Increased staff time for 

coordination, resource development, 

and accessibility efforts. 

• Increased contributions from brain 

injury partners to align with that of 

other key partners more closely and 

better reflect the need to serve people 

with brain injury as well as I/DD. 

• Resource development including 

paid participation of experts with lived 

experience to assist in development. 

• Additional accessibility and 

language translation services. 

Program Name: Co-Occurring 

Resource Center for Individuals with I/ 

DD (The Link Center). 

Recipient: The National Association 

of State Directors of Developmental 

Disabilities Services. 

Period of Performance: The 

supplement award will be issued for the 

third year of the five-year project period 

of September 1, 2024, through August 

31, 2025. 

Total Supplement Award Amount: 

$410,318. 

Award Type: Cooperative Agreement. 

Statutory Authority: This program is 

authorized under the Developmental 

Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights 

Act of 2000 Public Law 106–402, 

Section 161(2) (B), (C) and (D) (42 U.S.C. 

15081(2)). 

Basis for Award: The National 

Association of State Directors of 

Developmental Disabilities Services is 

currently funded to carry out this 

cooperative agreement for the period of 

September 1, 2022, through August 31, 

2027. Much work has already been 

completed and further tasks are 

currently being accomplished. It would 

be unnecessarily time consuming and 

disruptive to the Link Center project 

and the beneficiaries being served for 

ACL to establish a new grantee at this 

time when critical services are presently 

being provided in an efficient manner.
