-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging (AoA) is announcing an opportunity 
for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by 
the agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), 
Federal agencies are required to publish 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 notice 
solicits comments on the information collection requirements relating 
to Performance Reports for Title VI grantees.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of 
information by June 8, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information 
to: [email protected]. Submit written comments on the 
collection of information to Yvonne Jackson, Administration on Aging, 
Washington, DC 20201 or by fax to (202) 357-3560.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne Jackson at (202) 357-3501 or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency request or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal agencies to 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, AoA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document. With respect to the 
following collection of information, AoA invites comments on: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of AoA's functions, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of AoA's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (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 through the use of automated 
collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology.
    AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows: Annual submission of the Program Performance Reports are due 
90 days after the end of the budget period and final project period. 
Respondents: Federally Recognized Tribes, Tribal and Native Hawaiian 
Organizations receiving grants under Title VI, Part A, Grants for 
Native Americans; Title VI, Part B, Native Hawaiian Program and Title 
VI, Part C, Native American Caregiver Support Program. Estimated Number 
of Responses: 246. Total Estimated Burden Hours: 614.
