39524 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 126 / Friday, July 1, 2022 / Notices 

To minimize reporting burden to the 

greatest extent possible, and in 

recognition of the significant overlap in 

LIHEAP and LIHWAP grant recipients, 

OCS is proposing to use the same 

demographic measures included in the 

LIHWAP Annual Report in the LIHEAP 

Household Report. OCS has also 

removed the reporting requirements for 

applicant households by assistance type 

and poverty interval on the Household 

Report Long Form to offset some of the 

additional reporting burden entailed by 

the demographic data collection. 

Respondents: State governments, 

tribal governments, U.S. territories, and 

the District of Columbia.

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 6,165,262. 

Please note that the above estimate 

accounts for the burden this data 

collection entails on LIHEAP applicants. 

In previous years, OCS has not included 

an estimate of the burden on 

households. While OCS does not 

mandate that LIHEAP grant recipients 

use a standard household application, 

we know that grant recipients collect 

many of the required Household Report 

data elements through their household 

application. The annual burden for the 

household application indicated above 

accounts for the time it will take 

LIHEAP applicants to provide the data 

required by the current Household 

Report as well as the proposed 

demographic data elements. To 

calculate this burden, we used an 

estimate for the annual number of 

LIHEAP household applicants 

multiplied by an average of an hour to 

provide the data required by the 

Household Report. 

Comments: The Department 

specifically requests comments on (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. Consideration will be given 

to comments and suggestions submitted 

within 60 days of this publication. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 8629 and 45 CFR

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 notice solicits comments on 

a proposed extension without change 

information collection request and 

solicits comments on the information 

collection requirements related to the 

Application for Older Americans Act, 

Title VI Parts A/B and C Grants 

performance reporting. 

DATES: Comments on the collection of 

information must be submitted 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. A 

Collection of information includes 

agency requests or requirements that 

members of the public submit reports, 

keep records, or 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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 126 / Friday, July 1, 2022 / Notices 39525 

(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.
