(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. 

ACL is responsible for administering 

the Title VI A/B (Nutrition and 

Supportive Service) and C (Caregiver) 

grants. The purpose of this data 

collection is to improve and standardize 

the format of the application. The 

instrument will collect data as 

prescribed by the Older Americans Act 

Section 612(a), 614(a) and 45 CFR 

1326.19 related to the eligibility of 

Federally recognized Tribes and Native 

Hawaiian organizations for grant funds 

under this program and their capacity to 

deliver services to elders. 

The Application for Older Americans 

Act, Title VI A/B and C Grants collects 

information on the ability of federally 

recognized American Indian, Alaskan 

Native and Native Hawaiian 

organizations to provide nutrition, 

supportive, and caregiver services to 

elders within their service area. 

Applicants are required to provide a 

description of their organization’s 

service area, the number of eligible 

elders in their service area, and their 

ability to deliver services and sign 

assurances that the organization will 

comply with all applicable laws and 

regulations. 

This is an extension of a currently 

approved information collection. The 

proposed data collection materials have 

been updated to better align with the 

requirements of the Older Americans 

Act and Federal regulations, as well as 

to improve data quality and grantee 

accountability. Furthermore, this 

grantee application will better line up 

with the Title VI Program Performance 

Report under 0985–0007. This data 

collection will also support ACL in 

tracking performance outcomes and 

efficiency measures with respect to the 

annual and long-term performance 

targets established in compliance with 

the Government Performance Results 

Modernization Act (GPRMA). 

The proposed data collection tools 

may be found on the ACL website for 

review at https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input. 

Estimated Program Burden: 

Title VI funding is broken into three 

categories. Parts A and B are for 

nutritional and supportive 

programming, with Part A being 

restricted to American Indian and 

Alaska Native grantees, and Part B 

restricted to Native Hawaiian grantees. 

Part C is for caregiver programming. All 

Part C grantees must have Part A/B 

funding, but not all Part A/B grantees 

will have Part C programs. Therefore, 

there are likely to be 295 unique 

respondents, but only 250 will have to 

complete all three portions of the 

application. This application covers all 

three parts of Title VI. 

ACL estimates the burden associated 

with this collection of information as 

follows: 

Respondent/data collection activity Number of 

respondents 

Responses 

per 

respondent 

Hours per 

response 

Annual 

burden hours 

Title VI Application Part A/B ............................................................................ 295 1 2.75 270.4 

Title VI Application Part C ............................................................................... 250 1 1.5 125 

Total .......................................................................................................... ........................ ........................ 4.25 395.4 

The number of burden hours 

associated with the Title VI, Part C, data 

collection was calculated as 811.25. 

However, since this instrument is used 

only once every three years results in an 

annualized number of 270.4 hours. 

Similarly, the total hours associated 

with the Title VI, Part C, application is 

375.

Community Living (ACL) is announcing 

an opportunity for the public to 

comment on the proposed collection of 

information listed above. Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA), Federal agencies are required to 

publish a 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 IC solicits comments on the 

information collection requirements 

relating to the Review of the National 

Standards for Culturally and 

Linguistically Appropriate Services 

(CLAS) at ACL. 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information must be submitted 

electronically by 11:59 p.m. (EST) or 

postmarked by August 30, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of

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 requests 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or

39526 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 126 / Friday, July 1, 2022 / Notices 

provide information to a third party. 

The PRA 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, ACL is publishing a notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following 

collection of information, ACL invites 

comments on our burden estimates or 

any other aspect of this collection of 

information, including: 

(1) whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of ACL’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of ACL’s estimate of 

the burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used 

to determine burden estimates; 

(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. 

The Administration for Community 

Living (ACL) is currently engaged in an 

effort to better understand how ACL 

programs support grantees to apply 

CLAS Standards and related diversity, 

equity, and inclusion (DEI) priorities in 

their programming. While the previous 

research effort focused on the 

perspective of ACL staff and national 

associations and advocacy 

organizations; this new IC will focus on 

a broader scope of respondents. In this 

IC, ACL will be reaching out to ACLfunded grantees. By capturing the 

perspectives of these grantees, this 

research aims to build on both our 

current knowledge of the CLAS 

Standards and DEI landscape at ACL, as 

well as to enhance our understanding of 

how to support the aging and disability 

networks to strengthen their CLAS 

Standards and DEI practices and 

priorities. 

The IC, as well as analyses of 

available NSOAAP, Annual 

Performance data or other ACL data, 

would help address the following key 

research questions: 

1. Who does ACL serve? 

a. How do ACL clients differ by 

demographic characteristics and/or 

social determinants of health (e.g., 

language, culture, race/ethnicity, age, 

disability status)? 

b. Are there any gaps in the types of 

people (or clients) served? 

2. How are ACL program grantees 

meeting the needs of these diverse 

people (or clients)? 

a. What data do they collect that 

would help ensure they meet diverse 

client needs? 

b. What resources do grantee 

organizations need to support the 

cultural and linguistic needs of their 

clients? 

Five focus groups with ACL grantees, 

comprised of 8–10 participants each 

(with each participant representing one 

grantee entity), would be conducted to 

help ACL better understand the current 

service provider grantee landscape 

related to cultural and linguistic needs 

and other DEI activities. Data gathered 

from these focus groups would also help 

refine a web-based survey that would be 

administered to a minimum of 400 

service provider grantees. The survey 

would allow for broader reach to help 

ACL understand both how provider 

grantees address diverse client needs 

and what additional resources provider 

grantee organizations may need to 

support the cultural, linguistic, and DEI 

needs of the people they serve. 

Together, these data will help ACL 

better understand how grantees are 

meeting the needs of their clients, as 

well as the extent of unmet CLAS/DEI 

needs that exist for clients and the 

extent to which those unmet needs may 

limit service access. The proposed data 

collection tools may be found on the 

ACL website for review at: https://

www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input. 

Estimated Program Burden: ACL 

estimates the burden of this collection 

of information as follows: 

The grantee focus groups will include 

no more than 50 individuals 

representing grantee organizations 

across the US. The burden for their 

participation is estimated at 1.5 hours 

per participant, for a total of 75 hours. 

A minimum of 400 grantees are 

expected to respond to the web-based 

survey. The approximate burden for 

survey completion may be ten minutes 

per respondent for a total estimate of 

4,000 minutes. The estimated survey 

completion burden includes time to 

review the instructions, read the 

questions and complete the responses.
