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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL), Administration 
on Aging (AoA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the 
proposed collection of certain information. Under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal agencies are required to 
publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed 
collection of information, including each proposed extension of an 
existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public 
comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the 
information collection requirements relating to the Chronic Disease 
Self-Management Education Program.

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of 
information.

information to: [email protected]. Submit written comments 
on the collection of information to Kristie Kulinski, U.S. 
Administration for Community Living, Administration on Aging, 330 C 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20230.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristie Kulinski 
([email protected]).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. 
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 
1320.3(c) and includes agency request or requirements that members of 
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a 
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) 
requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal 
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including 
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, 
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with 
this requirement, AoA is publishing notice of the proposed collection 
of information set forth in this document. With respect to the 
following collection of information, ACL invites comments on: (1) 
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of ACL's functions, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of ACL's 
estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information 
technology. The ``Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities 
through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) Programs'' 
cooperative agreement program has been financed through Prevention and 
Public Health Funds (PPHF), most recently by FY2015 PPHF funds. The 
statutory authority for cooperative agreements under the current 
program announcement is contained in the Public Health Service Act, 42 
U.S.C. 300u-2 (Community Programs) and 300u-3 (Information Programs); 
and Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Pub. 
L. 113-235, Div. G., Title II, 219(a); and the Patient Protection and 
Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. 300u-11 (Prevention and Public Health 
Fund).
    OMB approval of the existing set of CDSME data collection tools 
(OMB Control Number, 0985-0036) expires on 07/31/2016. This data 
collection continues to be necessary for monitoring program operations 
and outcomes. ACL proposes to use revised versions of the following 
tools: (1) Semi-annual progress reports to monitor grantee progress; 
(2) an Organization Data form to record location of sites where 
programs are held which will allow mapping of the delivery 
infrastructure; and (3) a set of tools used to collect information at 
each program completed by the program leaders/delivery personnel 
(Program Information Cover Sheet and Attendance Log) and a Participant 
Information Survey completed by each participant to document their 
demographic and health characteristics. ACL is not requesting renewal 
of one other data collection tool, the Annual Integrated Services 
Delivery System Assessment Tool. ACL proposes to gather data using an 
existing online data entry system for the program and participant 
survey data. The current proposed Data Collection Tools can be found at 
ACL's Web site at: http://www.aoa.acl.gov/AoA_Programs/Tools_Resources/collection_tools.aspx. ACL estimates the burden of this collection of 
information as 128 hours for grantee staff, 220 hours for local agency 
staff and volunteers, and 92 hours for individuals--Total burden is 440 
hours per year. This assumes a data collection sample of 386 workshops.

Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
