SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (formerly the
Administration on Aging (AoA)) is announcing that the proposed
collection of information listed below has been submitted to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by July
16, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by
fax 202.395.6974 to the OMB Desk Officer for ACL, Office of Information
and Regulatory Affairs, OMB.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Jenkins, 202.357.3591.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the
Administration for Community Living (Formerly the Administration for
Aging) has submitted the following proposed collection of information
to OMB for review and clearance. The data collection associated with
the Evaluation for the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC)
Program is necessary to determine the overall effect of ADRCs on both
long term support and service systems and individuals. ACL will gather
information about how ADRCs provide services and whether consumers, who
access ADRCs, as compared to consumers who access other systems, report
that the experience is more personalized, consumer-friendly,
streamlined, and efficient. Staff of the Administration for Community
Living's Administration on Aging's Office of Nutrition and Health
Promotion Programs will use the information and recommendations
resulting from the evaluation of the Aging and Disability Resource
Centers to both determine the value of the ADRC model and to improve
program operations. In response to the 60-day Federal Register notice
related to this proposed data collection and published on October 14,
2011, one set of comments was received. The majority of the comments
focused on the practical utility of the proposed collection of
information. The remaining comments provided suggestions for enhancing
the quality and clarity of the information to be collected. Many of the
latter comments resulted in revisions to the proposed data collection
tools. The originally proposed data collection tools, the comments with
responses and a revised set of data collection tools may be found on
the AoA Web site: http://www.aoa.gov/AoA--programs/
