the American Indian, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian Programs. 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 evaluation 
of the Title VI of the Older Americans Act.

information by April 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information

Attention: Kristen Hudgins.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kristen Hudgins, 202-795-7732.

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, ACL is publishing a 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 Data Collection Materials for the Evaluation of the

Natives and Native Hawaiian Programs (OAA Title VI) is a new data 
collection (ICR-New) that will include focus groups for Elders and 
caregiver program participants, interviews with Title VI staff, and a 
survey for caregiver program participants. The Evaluation of the 
Administration for Community Living's American Indian, Alaska Natives 
and Native Hawaiian Programs will allow ACL/AoA to document the value 
of the Title VI programs for individuals, families, communities and 
Tribes/Tribal Organizations. ACL estimates the burden of this 
collection of information as follows:
