Administration on Aging 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request; Service 

Provider Study 

AGENCY: Administration on Aging, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging 

(AoA) is announcing that the proposed 

collection of information listed below 

has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and clearance under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 

collection of information relates to the 

Area Agency on Aging and Local 

Service Provider Study. 

DATES: Submit written comments on the 

collection of information by August 23, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

on the collection of information by fax 

202.395.6974 to the OMB Desk Officer 

for AoA, Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, OMB. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Klocinski at 202–357–0146. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

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

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

The Older Americans Act programs 

are administered and implemented 

through the Aging Service Network 

which is comprised of State Units on 

Aging (SUA), Area Agencies on Aging 

(AAA) and Local Service Providers 

(LSP). The Administration on Aging 

(AoA) collects annual program data at 

the state level and has sponsored 

studies to collect information regarding 

the Area Agencies on Aging. The third 

component of the Aging Network, the 

Local Service Providers, are poorly 

understood and characterized. AoA 

recognizes that basic information of 

their characteristics and understanding 

of their relationship with the other 

Aging Network components and in 

particular AAAs is an important 

knowledge gap that is in need of filling. 

A qualitative study that involves a 

brief pre-interview questionnaire 

followed by interviews with AAA 

directors and their staff and focus 

groups with provider organizations was 

deemed to be the most appropriate 

method at this stage of research on 

LSPs. A total of 10 states will be 

selected for study and within each of 

those states three AAAs will be selected 

with the help of the SUA to represent 

a maximum range of AAA and service 

provider network characteristics. A 

focus group will be conducted with 

LSPs for each AAA. 

The primary purpose of the study is 

to better understand the complexity of 

the Local Service Provider network and 

the interactions with the Area Agencies 

on Aging to inform planning, policy 

development and implementation of the 

OAA reauthorization provisions. The 

pre-site visit questions, interviews and 

focus groups will provide information 

on the range of LSP organizational 

characteristics, nature of the 

relationship including the division of 

roles and responsibilities between 

AAAs and LSPs, and types of 

management information systems and 

provider tracking systems at the AAA 

level. 

A second purpose will be to provide 

information needed for the design of 

future representative studies. 

Probabilistic sampling requires accurate 

definitions of the study population and 

the ability to construct accurate 

sampling frames. The information 

collected will be used to develop 

operational definitions of LSPs that will 

be meaningful not only to AoA but to 

AAAs and LSPs. Information on 

provider tracking systems will help AoA 

devise methods for sampling frame 

construction that take into account the 

variety of systems used across AAAs. 

The proposed data collection tools may 

be found on the AoA Web site at 

http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Program_

results/Program_Evaluation.aspx. 

AoA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 350 

hours. 

Dated: July 19, 2010.

Assistant Secretary for Aging.
