SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, AoA 

has submitted the following proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

review and clearance. 

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. 

The reporting system, the National 

Ombudsman Reporting System (NORS), 

was developed in response to the needs 

and directives pertaining to the Long 

Term Care Ombudsman Program and 

approved by the Office of Management 

and Budget for use in FY 1995–96 and 

extended with slight modifications for 

use in FY 1997–2001 and again for FY 

2002–2006. 

This request is to continue the use of 

the existing information collection, 

State Annual Long-Term Care 

Ombudsman Report (and Instructions), 

from state ombudsmen programs under 

Older Americans Act Titles III and VII. 

The information also serves as input for 

work with the Centers for Medicare and 

Medicaid Services and others on major 

long-term care issues, planning, 

training, technical assistance for 

ombudsmen programs and policy 

development. We are finalizing our 

work with the states and local 

ombudsmen on recommendations 

which revise and update the form and 

instructions for use beginning in FY 

2007; they are to be available for public 

comment in the near future. 

The reporting form would retain the 

following elements: a profile of the 

cases, complainants and complaints by 

type of facility; action taken on the 

complaints; a summary of long-term 

care issues; a detailed profile of the 

program and its activities, including the 

number and type of facilities licensed 

and operating in the state (and the 

number beds this represents); the 

staffing and funding of local programs; 

and an overview of other ombudsman 

activities (including: training, technical 

assistance, consultation to organizations 

and individuals, resident visitation, 

community education, etc.) 

AoA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

Approximately 10 minutes per case, per 

respondent, for a total annual hour 

burden of 10,258 hours, with 52 State 

Agencies on Aging responding annually.
