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 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 or electronic comments on the collection of 
information by August 29, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information to 
Susan Jenkins at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Jenkins, 202-795-7369.

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 Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging 
(ACL/AoA) is requesting approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for data collection associated with the Process Evaluation 
and Special Studies Related to the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program 
(LTCOP) (Contract #HHSP233201500048I). The goal of the LTCOP is to 
protect and promote the health, safety, welfare, and rights of long-
term care facility residents. Administered by ACL/AoA, LTCOPs operate 
in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The 
purpose of the process evaluation is to obtain a thorough understanding 
of the LTCOP's structure and operations at the national, state and 
local levels; use of resources to carry out legislative mandates; the 
nature of program partnerships; and processes for sharing information 
on promising program practices and areas for improvement.
    The contractor will interview 12 Federal staff (60 minutes 
estimated burden) and national stakeholders (45-60 minutes estimated 
burden) and 53 State ombudsmen (75 minutes estimated burden). All 53 
State ombudsmen also will be asked to complete a survey which is 
estimated to take 20 minutes to complete. ACL/AoA estimates contacting 
approximately 600 local directors/regional representatives and local 
representatives to complete the web-based survey. Of this number, we 
anticipate obtaining responses from 50 percent of the sample (300 
respondents). ACL/AoA estimates contacting approximately 2,000 
volunteers to complete the web-based survey. Of this number, we 
anticipate obtaining responses from 20 percent of the sample (400 
respondents). The total burden estimate is 19779 minutes, which is 
329.25 burden hours.
    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL Web site 
at: http://www.aoa.acl.gov/Program_Results/Program_survey.aspx.
