Administration for Community Living


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; OAA Title III-E Evaluation

AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

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 
October 26, 2015.

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: Alice-Lynn Ryssman, 202.357.3491

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520), the Administration for Community Living (ACL, formerly the 
Administration for Aging) has submitted the following proposed 
collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and clearance. The outcome evaluation data collection 
associated with the Title III-E National Family Caregiver Support 
Program (NFCSP) is necessary to meet three broad objectives of ACL: (1) 
To provide information to support program planning, including an 
analysis of program processes, (2) to develop information about program 
efficiency and costs, and (3) gauge program effectiveness in assessing 
community and client needs, targeting and prioritizing, and providing 
services to family caregivers. The outcome evaluation will examine to 
what extent do the needs, services, and outcomes of NFCSP caregivers 
differ from non-NFCSP caregivers over a twelve-month period. As well, 
where feasible, the individuals supported by these two groups of 
caregivers will be asked seven short questions about their situation 
initially and at the end of twelve months, to take into account the 
care recipients' perceptions of their quality of life and the support 
for their caregivers.
    In response to the 60-day Federal Register Notice related to this 
proposed data collection and published on November 20, 2013, comments 
from six individuals and/or organizations were received. Many of the 
suggestions commented on the length of the survey and eliminating 
duplicative or cumbersome open-ended questions, efforts have been made 
to make the questions clearer, reduce the number of open-ended 
questions, and shorten the estimated time needed for the survey by 
about 10 percent. In addition, in response to concerns about the views 
of those receiving care from these caregivers, a very short seven-
question survey has been added to ask the caregivers' care recipients 
about their perceived quality of life and the support needed by their 
caregivers.
    The outcome study will conduct telephone interviews with a randomly

sampled group of 1,250 NFCSP caregivers at three points in time 
(baseline, six months later, and twelve months later), as well as to a 
comparison group of 1,250 caregivers not receiving NFCSP services at 
the same three points in time (baseline, six months later, and twelve 
months later), who will be identified through their care recipients who 
are receiving other OAA services. Additionally, the care recipients of 
each group of caregivers will be contacted, as feasible, and asked 
seven short questions at two points in time (baseline and twelve months 
later). ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows: 2,513 hours for caregivers receiving NFCSP services, 2,186 
hours for caregivers who are not receiving NFCSP services, 400 hours 
for the NFCSP caregivers' care recipients, and 400 hours for the non-
NFCSP caregivers' care recipients, in addition to approximately 63 
hours for the local Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to help with the 
respondent selection process, for a Total Burden for Study of 5,562 
hours.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL Web site 
at http://www.aoa.gov/Program_Results/Outcome_Evaluation_Survey.aspx.

    Dated: September 21, 2015.
Kathy Greenlee,
Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
