SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:


[top] 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 request 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, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, ACL is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, ACL invites comments on: (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; (3) page 20213 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 template may be found on the ACL Web site at http://www.acl.gov/NewsRoom/NewsInfo/docs/FFR-ACL-AoA-TitleIII-Supplemental_SF-425.pdf.

The supplemental form to the Financial Status Report for all ACL/AoA Title III Grantees provides an understanding of how projects funded by the Older Americans Act are being administered by grantees, in conformance with legislative requirements, pertinent Federal regulations and other applicable instructions and guidelines issued by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). This information will be used for Federal oversight of Title III projects. ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: 56 State Units on Aging (SUA) respond semi-annually which should have an average burden of 2 hours per grantee for a total of 112 hours per submission.
