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 

as and 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) ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(3) 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; 

(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. 

(5) ways to ensure that ACL is 

gathering necessary and relevant 

demographic information to assess 

diversity and equity in evidence-based 

program scaling and participation, and 

advances the Executive Order on 

Advancing Racial Equity and Support 

for Underserved Communities Through 

the Federal Government and the 

Executive Order on Advancing Equality 

for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, 

Queer, and Intersex Individuals. 

The Evidence-Based Chronic Disease 

Self-Management Education (CDSME) 

Grant Program is financed through the 

Prevention and Public Health Fund 

(PPHF). The statutory authority for 

cooperative agreements under the most 

recent program announcement (FY 

2022) is contained in the Older 

Americans Act, Title IV; and the Patient 

Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 

U.S.C. 300u-11 (Prevention and Public 

Health Fund). The CDSME Grant 

Program supports a National CDSME 

Resource Center that provides technical 

assistance, education, and resources for 

the national CDSME network of 

partners, and awards competitive grants 

to implement and promote the 

sustainability of evidence-based CDSME 

programs that have been proven to 

provide older adults and adults with 

disabilities with education and tools to 

help them better manage chronic 

conditions such as diabetes, heart 

disease, arthritis, chronic pain, and 

depression. OMB approval of the 

existing set of CDSME data collection 

tools (OMB Control Number, 0985– 

0036) expires on 11/30/2022. This data 

collection continues to be necessary for 

the monitoring of program operations 

and outcomes. 

ACL currently uses and proposes to 

continue to use a set of tools to collect 

information for each program including: 

(1) Program Information Cover Sheet 

and Attendance Log, to be completed by 

the program leaders; and a (2) 

Participant Information Survey to be 

completed by participants on a 

voluntary basis before or at the 

beginning of the first program session 

and to answer three questions at the last 

session to document their demographic 

and health characteristics. ACL/AoA 

intends to continue using an online data 

entry system for the program and 

participant survey data. 

During the 60-day public comment 

period, ACL intends to analyze public 

comments received, conduct focus 

groups that includes a sub-set of current 

CDSME grantees, as well as consult with 

subject-matter experts to gather 

feedback and determine if changes to 

the data collection tools are warranted. 

The proposed data collection tools 

may be found on the ACL website for 

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

with this collection of information as
