ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces the 
intent to award a single-source cooperative agreement in the amount of 
$220,000 to the National Association of State Units on Aging and 
Disability (NASUAD) to support and stimulate the expansion of work 
already under way by NASUAD to create a valid and reliable National 
Core Indicator (NCI) Survey for older adults and people with physical 
disabilities.

DATES: The award will be issued for a project period of September 30, 
2014 through September 29, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shawn Terrell, Center for Disability 
and Aging Policy, Administration for Community Living, 1 Massachusetts 
Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20001. Telephone: 202-357-3517; Email: 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2009, NASUAD started to partner with 
National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities 
Services (NASDDDS) and Human Services Research Institute (HSRI) to 
expand the NCI to include older adults and people with physical 
disabilities. As a result of the NASUAD/NASDDDS/HSRI partnership, the 
expanded tool, National Core Indicators--Aging and Disability (NCI-AD), 
is currently being piloted in 3 states. NASUAD is the lead partner for 
the NCI-AD project.
    With this one-year of grant funding, through a cooperative 
agreement, NASUAD will be able to recruit additional state aging and 
disability agencies to participate in the National Core Indicators--
Aging & Disability (NCI-AD) project and expand the project's technical 
assistance to the three states already participating in this project.
    This program is authorized under Title IV of the Older Americans 
Act (OAA) (42 U.S.C. 3032), as amended by the Older Americans Act 
Amendments of 2006, Public Law 109-365 (Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance 93.048, Title IV Discretionary Projects) as well as Title I, 
Subtitle E of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of 
Rights Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 15081), Public Law 106-402 (Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance 93.631, Developmental Disabilities Projects 
of National Significance).

    Date: August 21, 2014.

Principal Deputy Administrator, Administration for Community Living.
