Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection; 
Public Comment Request; Revision of a Currently Approved Information 
Collection (ICR-REV); Centers for Independent Living Annual Performance 
Report (CILPPR)

AGENCY: Independent Living Administration, Administration for Community 
Living, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing an 
opportunity for the public to comment on ACL's intention to collect 
information necessary to determining grantee compliance with Title VII 
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, As Amended by the Workforce 
Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014. Under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA), Federal agencies are required to publish a 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 proposed action. This notice solicits comments on a 
proposed revision to an existing data collection related to the Centers 
for Independent Living Program Performance Report (CIL PPR, formerly 
the Section 704 Part II Report).

DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of 
information by April 7.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information 
to: [email protected]. Submit written comments on the 
collection of information by mail to Veronica Hogan, Administration for 
Community Living, 330 C Street, Room 1133D, Washington, DC 20201.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Veronica Hogan at (202) 795-7365 or 
[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 requests 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 or update of an existing collection of 
information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. The 
proposed data collection represents a revision of a currently approved 
collection (ICR-Rev).
    In order to comply with the above requirement, the Independent 
Living Administration (ILA) is requesting approval of a revision of a 
previously approved collection, the Centers for Independent Living 
Program Performance Report (CILPPR), formerly known as the 704 Part II 
report (0985-0043). Sections 704(m)(4)(D), 706(d), 721(b)(3), and 
725(c) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act), as 
amended by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA, Pub. L. 
113-128) and the corresponding regulations at 45 CFR part 1329, require 
centers for independent living (CILs) to submit annual performance 
reports to the Administrator of the Administration for Community Living 
(ACL) in order to receive continuation funding under the CIL (IL Part 
C) program.
    The CIL PPR is submitted annually by all CILs receiving IL Part C 
funds. The CIL PPR is used by ACL to assess grantees' compliance with 
title VII of the Act, with section 1329 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations and with applicable provisions of the HHS regulations at 45 
CFR part 75. The CIL PPR serves as the primary basis for ACL's 
monitoring activities in fulfillment of its responsibilities under 
sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The CIL PPR also enables ACL to 
collect

[[Page 11472]]

qualitative and quantitative data to track performance outcomes and 
efficiency measures of the centers for independent living (CILs) 
programs with respect to the annual and long-term performance targets 
established in compliance with GPRA. The CIL PPR is also used by ACL to 
design CIL training and technical assistance programs authorized by 
section 721 of the Act.

New Requirements

    The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), enacted on 
July 22, 2014, added a new core service to the list of ``independent 
living core services'' that ACL funded Centers for Independent Living 
(CILs) are required to provide. Prior to WIOA, CILs were required to 
provide four core independent living services: (1) Information and 
referral services; (2) independent living skills training; (3) peer 
counseling, including cross-disability peer counseling; (4) and 
individual and systems advocacy. WIOA added a fifth core service for 
``transition services.'' This new core service has three components. It 
requires CILs to:
     Facilitate the transition of individuals with significant 
disabilities from nursing homes and other institutions to home- and 
community-based residences, with the requisite supports and services;
     Provide assistance to individuals with significant 
disabilities who are at risk of entering institutions so that the 
individuals remain in the community; and
     Facilitate the transition of youth with significant 
disabilities, who were eligible for individualized education programs 
(IEPs) under Section 614(d) of the Individuals with Disabilities 
Education Act, and who have completed their secondary education or 
otherwise left school to post-secondary life.
    The new core services promote full access to community living, 
which is in keeping with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the 
Supreme Court ruling in Olmstead v. L.C., and subsequent legislation 
and regulations. These critical services also align with the core of 
ACL's mission. Modifications to the performance measures were developed 
this year in response to these changes, which will require additional 
data to be submitted so ACL can report on activities related to the new 
requirement. The proposed reporting form may be found on the ACL Web 
site at: https://acl.gov/Programs/AoD/ILA/Index.aspx#cil.
    The estimated hour burden per respondent for the CIL PPR (IL Part 
C) in 2017 will change from the 35 hours estimated in FY 2014 to 36.5 
hours, an additional hour and a half due to the addition of the fifth 
core service area. The number of hours is multiplied by 356 CILs, 
resulting in a total estimated hour aggregate burden of 12,994 hours.
