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 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. The Children's Health Act of 
2000, 42 U.S.C. Section 300d-53(h), requires the Protection and 
Advocacy (P&A) System in each State to annually prepare and submit to 
the Secretary a report that includes documentation of the progress they 
have made in serving individuals with traumatic brain injury. AIDD will 
review the program performance report (PPR) for compliance and for 
program outcomes. AIDD will aggregate the information in the PPRs into 
a national profile of programmatic activities and accomplishments. 
Information from these reports is shared with the public through 
postings to the ACL.gov Web site. The information will also allow AIDD 
to track accomplishments against performance goals and determine areas 
where technical assistance is needed to comply with Federal 
requirements or improve performance.
    The proposed Protection and or Traumatic Brain Injury (PATBI) 
Program Performance Report (PPR) form can be found on the AIDD Web site 
at: https://acl.gov/Programs/AIDD/Program_Resource_Search/Results_PA.aspx.
    Interested persons are invited to send comments regarding our 
burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information, 
including any of the following subjects: (1) The necessity and utility 
of the proposed information collection for the proper performance of 
the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (4) the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology to minimize the information 
collection burden.
    ACL estimates the burden hours for this collection of information 
as follows:
