Proposed Project: Communities 

Putting Prevention to Work Cost Study 

Instrument—OMB No. 0990–NEW— 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for 

Planning and Evaluation (ASPE). 

Abstract: The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed 

into law on February 17, 2009, Public 

Law 11.5 (‘‘Recovery Act’’). 

Communities Putting Prevention to 

Work (CPPW) is a $650 million program 

funded by the Recovery Act. The 

purpose of the proposed data collection 

is to collect quarterly cost information 

from all community-level CPPW 

awardees. This will allow HHS to 

receive reports on direct awardee costs 

associated with carrying out the selected 

evidence-based strategies that are 

required by the Funding Opportunity 

Announcement (FOA) and Notice of 

Grant Award (NGA). This requirement 

is in addition to the financial reporting 

requirements of Section 512 of the 

Recovery Act, set forth by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) under 

the data collection instrument titled 

‘‘Standard Data Elements for Reports 

under Section 1512 of the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, 

Public Law 111–5 (Grants, Cooperative 

Agreements, and Loans).’’ 

The CPPW objective-based cost data 

submitted by the 51 respondents will 

provide the basis for HHS to assess the 

costs of the various program strategies, 

identify factors that impact average cost, 

and perform cost-effectiveness analysis 

of the program. Performing an 

assessment of the resources expended 

on each CPPW interventions will 

provide valuable information to HHS 

and other agencies within the 

Department for improving program 

efficiency within the various strategies 

of the program. There are no costs to 

respondents except their time to 

participate in the survey.

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

Title: Developmental Disabilities 

Program Independent Evaluation 

Project. 

OMB No.: 0970–0372. 

Description: The National 

Independent Study of the State 

Developmental Disabilities Programs 

(National Study) is an independent 

(non-biased) study to examine through 

rigorous and comprehensive research 

procedures the three programs funded 

under the Developmental Disabilities 

Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 

2000 (DD Act): (1) State Councils on 

Developmental Disabilities (SCDDs); 

(2) State Protection and Advocacy 

Systems for Individuals with 

developmental disabilities (P&As); and 

(3) University Centers for Excellence in 

Developmental Disabilities (UCEDDs). 

The purpose of the study is to assess 

program effectiveness and 

achievements, including collaborative 

efforts among these State developmental 

disabilities (DD) network programs. A 

component of the study will be an 

examination of the Administration on 

Developmental Disabilities’ efficiency 

and effectiveness to support these DD 

Network programs. The results of this 

evaluation will provide a report to the 

Administration on Developmental 

Disabilities (ADD) (the agency that 

administers these programs) with 

information on the effectiveness of its 

programs and policies and serve as a 

way for ADD to promote accountability 

to the public. 

The independent study is a response 

to accountability requirements for ADD 

as identified in the Developmental 

Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights 

Act of 2000 (DD Act), the Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 

1993, and the Program Assessment 

Rating Tool (PART), previously 

administered by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). 

ADD has OMB approval for all the 

evaluation tools (e.g., data collection 

instruments) for this study, except a 

new one being proposed. The new 

evaluation tool would be an on-line 

survey tool designed to collect data for 

an assessment of ADD. 

Respondents: For the ADD assessment 

survey being added, the respondents 

would be Staff of State Councils on 

Developmental Disabilities, State 

Protection and Advocacy Systems for 

Individuals with developmental 

disabilities, and University Centers for 

Excellence in Developmental 

Disabilities, Education, Research, and 

Service
