ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Administration Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 
(AIDD), Administration for Community Living (ACL) 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 
September 19, 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: Brianne Burger, 202.618.5525.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, ACL has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance. Federal statute and regulation require each State 
Protection and Advocacy (P&A) System to prepare and solicit public 
comment on a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP) for the P&A for 
Developmental Disabilities (PADD) program for each coming fiscal year. 
While the P&A is mandated to protect and advocate under a range of 
different federally authorized disabilities programs, only the PADD 
program requires an SGP. Following the required public input for the 
coming fiscal year, the P&As submit the final version of this SGP to 
the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities 
(AIDD). AIDD will aggregate the information in the SGPs into a national 
profile of programmatic emphasis for P&A Systems in the coming year. 
This aggregation will provide AIDD with a tool for monitoring of the 
public input requirement. Furthermore, it will provide an overview of 
program direction, and permit AIDD to track accomplishments against 
goals/targets, permitting the formulation of technical assistance and 
compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. ACL 
estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows:
