receiving formula funds under Section 4 

of the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, 

as Amended (AT Act). The State Plan 

for AT is used by ACL to assess 

grantees’ compliance with Section 4 of 

the AT Act and enables ACL to analyze 

qualitative and quantitative information 

to track performance outcomes and 

efficiency measures of the State Grants 

for AT programs; support budget 

requests; comply with the GPRA 

Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) 

reporting requirements; provide 

national benchmark information; and 

inform program development and 

management activities. The burden table 

below identifies the data collection 

activities for the instrument as well as 

the estimates for record keeping and 

entry of aggregate data. In addition to 

submitting a State Plan every three 

years, states and outlying areas are 

required to submit annual progress 

reports on their activities. The data 

required for these progress reports is 

specified in Section 4(f) of the AT Act. 

The proposed State Grants for 

Assistive Technology Program State 

Plan for AT may be found on the ACL 

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

Burden Estimates 

ACL estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

The total estimated hour burden per 

respondent for the proposed State Plan 

for AT will decrease from the 74 hours 

per respondent estimated in FY 2015 to 

73 hours estimated for FY 2018, an 

estimated reduction of one hour per 

respondent or 56 hours in total. The 

proposed State Plan for AT changes 

focus on a streamline of drop down 

choice lists in the current instrument. 

Actual expenditure data elements for 

state-level and state leadership tracking 

replaces the budget projections to 

provide more accurate fiscal data to 

ACL and to ensure compliance with AT 

Act requirements for expenditures. The 

proposed instrument simplifies the 

coordination and collaboration items to 

focus on activities conducted through a 

formal written agreement to ensure 

consistency and usefulness of data 

reported. The revised instrument aligns 

demographic data elements with the AT 

Annual Performance Report (APR), so 

that the data will be: Entered once, then 

only updated from that point on; used 

for both the State Plan and APR; 

updated quarterly with reminders; and 

used to populate the online State AT 

Program listing to ensure currency and 

accuracy. The reduction in burden is a 

result of a data collection workgroup 

composed of State AT program staff that 

met to suggest revisions to the current 

instrument. The workgroup solicited 

feedback from all of the grantees 

through face-to-face meetings and 

webinar presentations. The number of 

hours is multiplied by 56 AT State 

Grants programs, resulting in a total 

estimated hour burden of 4,088 hours.

AGENCY: Independent Living 

Administration, Administration on 

Disabilities, Administration for 

Community Living, HHS. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Administration for 

Community Living (ACL) is announcing 

that the proposed collection of 

information listed above has been 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

clearance as required under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the 

PRA). This 30-day notice requests 

comments on the information collection 

requirements related to a proposed 

Extension Without Changes of a 

Currently Approved Information 

Collection (ICR Ext) (OMB approval 

number 0985–0023). The extension 

would allow ACL to continue to collect 

information necessary to determine 

grantee compliance with Title VII of the 

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as Amended 

by the Workforce Innovation and 

Opportunity Act of 2014. 

ACL received a large number of 

public comments resulting from a 60- 

day Federal Register notice for the 704 

Part II report. In response to the 

comments, ACL is proposing to extend 

the currently approved forms for one 

year while we work on a revision that 

addresses all the comments from the 60- 

day notice regarding the updated form. 

DATES: Submit written comments on the 

collection of information by October 16, 

2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments 

on the collection of information: By fax 

at 202.395.5806 or by email to OIRA_

submission@omb.eop.gov, Attn: OMB 

Desk Officer for ACL. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Veronica Hogan at (202) 795–7365 or 

veronica.hogan@acl.hhs.gov. 

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 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

update of an existing collection of 

information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. The 

proposed data collection represents an 

extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

In order to comply with the above 

requirement, the Independent Living 

Administration (ILA) is requesting 

approval of an extension of a previously 

approved collection, the Centers for 

Independent Living Program 

Performance Report (704 Part II), and 

the Independent Living Services 

Program Performance Report (704 Part I) 

annual reports (0985–0043). Sections 

704(m)(4)(D), 706(d), 721(b)(3), and

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Notices 43381 

(Rehabilitation Act), as amended by the 

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity 

Act (WIOA, Pub. L. 113–128), and the 

corresponding regulations at 45 CFR 

part 1329, require centers for 

independent living (CILs) to submit 

annual performance reports to the 

Administrator of the Administration for 

Community Living (ACL) in order to 

receive continuation funding under the 

IL Parts B and C programs. 

The 704 reports are submitted 

annually by all Centers for Independent 

Living, designated State entities and 

Statewide Independent Living Councils 

receiving IL Parts B and C funds. The 

704 Parts I and II reports are used by 

ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with 

title VII of the Act, with section 1329 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations, and 

with applicable provisions of the HHS 

regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The 704 

Parts I and II reports serve as the 

primary basis for ACL’s monitoring 

activities in fulfillment of its 

responsibilities under sections 706 and 

722 of the Act. The 704 Parts I and II 

reports also enable ACL to collect 

qualitative and quantitative data to track 

performance outcomes and efficiency 

measures of the IL programs with 

respect to the annual and long-term 

performance targets established in 

compliance with the GPRA 

Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) 

reporting requirements. The 704 Parts I 

and II reports are also used by ACL to 

design CIL and SILC training and 

technical assistance programs 

authorized by section 721 of the Act. 

Comments in Response to the 60-Day 

Federal Register Notice 

A 60-day notice was published in the 

Federal Register in Vol. 82, No. 35, pg. 

11471 on February 23rd, 2017. A Notice 

of Correction was published in the 

Federal Register in Vol. 82, No. 42 pg. 

12610 on March 6th, 2017, announcing 

that ACL had made changes to the 

submission instructions, the public 

comments closing date was incorrect, 

the public comments email box was 

incorrect, and the core services were 

misstated in the original Federal 

Register posting ACL received 

comments from 50 (Fifty) organizations 

that provided 221 (Two Hundred and 

Twenty-One) individual comments 

about the proposed information 

collection. ACL reviewed all of the 

comments. The majority of the 

comments that ACL received expressed 

concerns over inclusion of sexual 

orientation and gender identity 

questions in the reporting instrument 

and asked that those questions be 

removed; the separate demographics 

and services provided to individuals 

with significant disabilities, and the 

need for clarification on the definitions 

and instructions as well as revisions to 

the IL core services and additional 

services sections of the updated 

reporting instrument. Further 

deliberation is needed to ensure that we 

appropriately address all of the 

concerns. This work will inform a 

redesign of the proposed information 

collection forms prior to the expiration 

of the extension.

Annual Performance Reports (704 Parts 

I and II reports can be found on ACL’s 

Web site at: https://www.acl.gov/aboutacl/public-input. The 704 Report’s 

estimated hour burden per respondent 

each for the Part I (IL Part B) and Part 

II (IL Part C) in 2017 remains unchanged 

at 35 hours from 2014 because the 

current data collection instrument is the 

same as the one approved in 2014. 

The total estimated hour burden also 

remains the same because the number of 

respondents, 412, has not changed since 

the 2014 approval. 

The aggregate total hour burden for 

412 Parts I and II 704 Report is 

estimated at 14,385, as follows:
