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

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.
