[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 163 (Tuesday, August 23, 2016)] [Notices] [Pages 57591-57592] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-20156] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Administration for Community Living Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Alzheimer's and Dementia Program Data Reporting Tool AGENCY: Administration for Community Living, HHS. ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging (AoA), Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing an opportunity to comment on the proposed collection of information by the agency. 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 collects comments on the information collection requirements relating to the continuation of an existing collection for the Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program and expansion of collection to include ACL grantees of the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative--Specialized Supportive Services (ADI- SSS) project. DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by October 24, 2016. ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by email to [email protected]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Long [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) is authorized through Sections 398, 399 and 399A of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, as amended by Public Law 101-557 Home Health Care and Alzheimer's Disease Amendments of 1990. The ADSSP helps state efforts to expand the availability of community-level supportive services for persons with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, including underserved populations. ADI-SSS projects are financed solely by Prevention and Public Health Funds. Similar in scope to ADSSP, ADI- SSS projects are designed to fill gaps in dementia-capable home and community based services (HCBS) for persons living with or those at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers by providing quality, person-centered services that help them remain [[Page 57592]] independent and safe in their communities. In compliance with the PHS Act, ACL revised an ADSSP Data Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DRT) in 2013. The 2016 revised Alzheimer's and Dementia Program Data Reporting Tool (ADP-DRT) collects information about the delivery of direct services by ADSSP and ADI-SSS grantees, as well as basic demographic information about service recipients. The 2016 version includes revisions to the approved 2013 version. The revised version would be in effect beginning 12/31/2016 and thereafter. The proposed ADP-DRT can be found on AoA's Web site at: http://nadrc.acl.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/docs/2016%20Proposed%20OMB%20Alzheimer%20Program%20Reporting%20Tool.xlsx.

1 These figures were prepared by the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce (Census Bureau), from five-year estimates from the
2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 American Community Surveys (ACSs). These estimates, like those derived from any survey, are subject to
two types of error: (1) Non-sampling Error, which consists of random errors that increase the variability of the data and non-random errors that
consistently direct the data in a specific direction; and (2) Sampling Error, which consists of the error that arises from the use of probability sam-
pling to create the sample.
2 These figures were calculated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of
Community Services, Division of Energy Assistance by multiplying the estimated state median income for a four-person family for each state by
60 percent.
3 To adjust for different sizes of households for LIHEAP purposes, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for multiplying 60 percent of a state’s estimated median
income for a four-person family by the following percentages: 52 percent for a one-person household, 68 percent for a two-person household, 84
percent for a three-person household, 100 percent for a four-person household, 116 percent for a five-person household, and 132 percent for a
six-person household. For each additional household member above six people, 45 CFR 96.85 calls for adding three percentage points to the
percentage for a six-person household (132 percent) and multiplying the new percentage by 60 percent of the median income for a four-person
family.
