ACL/AoA proposes to use this set of data collection tools to

funding opportunity: ``PPHF--2014--Evidence-Based Falls Prevention
Programs Financed Solely by 2014 Prevention and Public Health Funds
(PPHF-2014).'' This data collection is necessary for monitoring grant
program operations and outcomes. ACL/AoA proposes to gather information
to monitor grantee progress, record location of sponsoring agencies and
sites where programs are held, and document falls program participant
attendance and health and demographic characteristics and short-term
post participation impact. ACL/AoA intends

to use an online data entry system for the program and participant
survey data. In response to the 60-day Federal Register notice related
to this proposed data collection and published on June 27, 2014, four
sets of relevant comments were received. Most of the comments were
minor suggestions for improving the ease of use and acceptability of
the 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 ACL/AoA Web site at: http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/AoA_Programs/Tools_Resources/collection_tools.aspx. ACL/AoA estimates the burden of this

local agency and database entry staff, and 2,000 hours for individuals.
Total burden is 3,044 hours per year.
