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. The 

Administration for Community Living 

(ACL) is requesting approval to collect 

data for the State Councils on 

Developmental Disabilities (State 

Councils) Annual Program Performance 

Report (PPR). On an annual basis, each 

Council must submit a PPR to describe 

the extent of annual progress 

achievement on the 5-year State plan 

goals. The PPR: (1) The Council as a 

planning document to track progress 

made in meeting state plan goals; (2) the 

citizenry of the State as a mechanism for 

monitoring progress and activities on 

the plans of the Council; and (3) the 

Department as a stewardship tool for 

ensuring compliance with the 

Developmental Disabilities Assistance 

and Bill of Rights Act and for 

monitoring and providing technical 

assistance (e.g., during site visits), and 

support for management decision 

making. 

Comments in Response to the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice 

A notice published in the Federal 

Register on April 1, 2021 in 86 FR 

17152. There was one public comment 

received during the 60-day FRN. 

Public comment indicated the 

performance measures are useful in 

addressing impact and the burden hour 

for template completion was a 

reasonable estimate. The respondent did 

indicate the need to streamline some of 

the narrative reporting for ease of use. 

ACL will explore this through 

additional grantee guidance and 

development of a web-based reporting 

platform with user-friendly features, 

such as data cloning and other such 

efficient features. 

Estimated Program Burden 

ACL estimates the burden associated 

with this collection of information as 

follows: The total estimated hour 

burden per respondent for the proposed 

DD Council PPR is 172 burden hours 

per response. The number of hours to 

complete the PPR multiplied by 56 State 

Council programs, results in a total 

estimated annual burden of 9,632. The 

burden is reflective of performance 

measures introduced in the FFY 2017– 

2021 state plan cycle. These measures 

hone in on individual and family 

advocacy, as well as systems change 

advocacy. One example of these 

measures is a reporting of the number of 

promising and/or best practices 

improved based on results of systems 

change activities. The PPR is an 

opportunity for Councils to report on 

the actual data and outcomes that 

resulted from carrying out the new State 

Plan activities. This extension was 

previously pilot tested by a Performance 

Measures Workgroup consisting of nine 

(9) State Council representatives. This 

workgroup deemed the PPR necessary to 

accurately capture and report on the 

progress of the State Councils. A 

separate workgroup consisting of nine 

(9) different State Council 

representatives further discussed data 

collection methodologies as it relates to 

the proposed PPR template. This PPR 

offers a comprehensive categorization 

and approach to collecting data 

necessary to report to Congress and 

other interested entities.
