disability service providers, to facilitate 

more effective delivery of HCBS to 

people with disabilities. This training 

may be provided through conferences, 

workshops, public education programs, 

in-service training programs, and 

similar activities. 

Final Priority 

We will announce the final priority in 

a notice in the Federal Register. We will 

determine the final priority after 

considering responses to this notice and 

other information available to the 

Department. This notice does not 

preclude us from proposing additional 

priorities, requirements, definitions, or 

selection criteria, subject to meeting 

applicable rulemaking requirements. 

Note: This notice does not solicit 

applications. In any year in which we choose 

to use this priority, we invite applications 

through a notice in the Federal Register or 

in a Funding Opportunity Announcement 

posted at www.grants.gov. 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

Regulatory Impact Analysis 

Under E.O. 12866, the Secretary must 

determine whether this regulatory 

action is ‘‘significant’’ and, therefore, 

subject to the requirements of the 

Executive Order and subject to review 

by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of E.O. 

12866 defines a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ as an action likely to result in 

a rule that may— 

(1) Have an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more, or 

adversely affect a sector of the economy, 

productivity, competition, jobs, the 

environment, public health or safety, or 

State, local, or tribal governments or 

communities in a material way (also 

referred to as an ‘‘economically 

significant’’ rule); 

(2) Create serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; 

(3) Materially alter the budgetary 

impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, 

or loan programs or the rights and 

obligations of recipients thereof; or 

(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues 

arising out of legal mandates, the 

President’s priorities, or the principles 

stated in the E.O. 

This proposed regulatory action is not 

a significant regulatory action subject to 

review by OMB under section 3(f) of 

E.O. 12866. 

We have also reviewed this regulatory 

action under E.O. 13563, which 

supplements and explicitly reaffirms the 

principles, structures, and definitions 

governing regulatory review established 

in E.O. 12866. To the extent permitted 

by law, E.O. 13563 requires that an 

agency— 

(1) Propose or adopt regulations only 

upon a reasoned determination that 

their benefits justify their costs 

(recognizing that some benefits and 

costs are difficult to quantify); 

(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the 

least burden on society, consistent with 

obtaining regulatory objectives and 

taking into account—among other things 

and to the extent practicable—the costs 

of cumulative regulations; 

(3) In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, select those 

approaches that maximize net benefits 

(including potential economic, 

environmental, public health and safety, 

and other advantages; distributive 

impacts; and equity); 

(4) To the extent feasible, specify 

performance objectives, rather than the 

behavior or manner of compliance a 

regulated entity must adopt; and 

(5) Identify and assess available 

alternatives to direct regulation, 

including economic incentives—such as 

user fees or marketable permits—to 

encourage the desired behavior, or 

provide information that enables the 

public to make choices. 

E.O. 13563 also requires an agency ‘‘to 

use the best available techniques to 

quantify anticipated present and future 

benefits and costs as accurately as 

possible.’’ The Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs of OMB has 

emphasized that these techniques may 

include ‘‘identifying changing future 

compliance costs that might result from 

technological innovation or anticipated 

behavioral changes.’’ 

We are issuing this proposed priority 

only upon a reasoned determination 

that its benefits would justify its costs. 

In choosing among alternative 

regulatory approaches, we selected 

those approaches that would maximize 

net benefits. Based on the analysis that 

follows, the Department believes that 

this proposed priority is consistent with 

the principles in E.O. 13563. 

We also have determined that this 

regulatory action would not unduly 

interfere with State, local, and tribal 

governments in the exercise of their 

governmental functions. 

In accordance with both Executive 

Orders, the Department has assessed the 

potential costs and benefits, both 

quantitative and qualitative, of this 

regulatory action. The potential costs 

are those resulting from statutory 

requirements and those we have 

determined as necessary for 

administering the Department’s 

programs and activities. 

The benefits of the Disability and 

Rehabilitation Research Projects and 

Centers Program have been well 

established over the years. Projects 

similar to one envisioned by the 

proposed priority have been completed 

successfully, and the proposed priority 

would generate new knowledge through 

research. The new RRTC would 

generate, disseminate, and promote the 

use of new information that would 

improve outcomes for individuals with 

disabilities in the area of home and 

community based services.

program is not subject to E.O. 12372.

Abstract: Healthy People is a national 

health promotion and disease 

prevention initiative managed out of the 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for 

Health (OASH), Office of Disease

short survey using a self-administered 

questionnaire of state, local, and tribal 

organizations; Healthy People 

Consortium organizations; and Healthy 

People webinar attendees. The survey 

will be administered via a web-based 

platform. 

The Healthy People initiative has 

provided a comprehensive set of datadriven, national disease prevention and 

health promotion objectives with 10-

attain high-quality, longer lives free of 

preventable disease, disability, injury, 

and premature death; to achieve health 

equity, eliminate disparities, and 

improve the health of all groups; to 

create social and physical environments 

that promote good health for all; and to 

promote quality of life, healthy 

development, and health behaviors 

across all life stages. HP2020 consists of 

over 1200 objectives organized under 42 

topic areas. 

Likely Respondents: Healthy People 

State Coordinators, State Health 

Department Senior Deputy Directors, 

local and tribal health organizations, 

Healthy People Consortium 

organizations, and Healthy People 

webinar attendees.
