AGENCY: Administration for Community Living (ACL), HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration for Community Living is announcing that the 
proposed collection of information listed above has been submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance as 
required under section 506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. This 30-Day notice collects comments on the information 
collection requirements related to ACL's National Center on Law and 
Elder Rights.

DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
August 24, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by:
    (a) Email to: [email protected], Attn: OMB Desk Officer 
for ACL;
    (b) fax to 202.395.5806, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for ACL; or
    (c) by mail to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, 
OMB, New Executive Office Bldg., 725 17th St. NW, Rm. 10235, 
Washington, DC 20503, Attn: OMB Desk Officer for ACL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Omar Valverde at 
[email protected] or 202-795-7460.

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. The 
proposed collection of information represents new information requested 
from aging/disability networks to fulfill requirements regarding the 
provision of services and overall performance of ACL legal assistance 
programs.
    ACL contracts with a national legal assistance resource center, the 
National Center on Law and Elder Rights, to provide the required 
services. Through the contract, ACL provides aging, disability, and 
related legal professionals with training, case consultations and 
technical assistance for demonstration projects regarding contractually 
identified priority legal topics.
    The purpose of the information requested is for ACL to ensure that 
the resource center creates and prioritizes the training, case 
consultations and technical assistance resources it was contracted to 
provide and to ensure that the center targets the contractually 
designated aging network practitioners about priority subject matters. 
This approach enables ACL to make data-

[[Page 35277]]

informed decisions about the deployment of its resource center assets. 
These data are necessary for ACL to evaluate contractual compliance 
with established performance indicators. These metrics include 
quantifiable increases in uptake by stakeholders of training, case 
consultation and technical assistance, and measures of satisfaction 
with and perceived benefit from these services. For example, the 
metrics measure successful problem resolution as a result of the 
services provided and quantifiable data on fulfillment of requests for 
training, technical assistance, and consultation related to the 
contractually designated legal and systems development topic areas.
    The information requested by ACL from legal and aging/disability 
professionals falls into the following areas: (1) Requests for 
training, case consultation, and technical assistance through an 
online, secure Uniform Resource Support Request Tool; (2) general 
requests for Legal Training (including the volume of Webinar 
registrations); (3) Case Consultation and Technical Assistance; and (4) 
information about satisfaction and use of the services and support 
received in order to enable ACL to measure performance outcomes.

Comments in Response to the 60-Day Federal Register Notice

    As required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a 60-day notice was published in 
the Federal Register on December 5, 2017 (Volume 82, Number 232, pp. 
57458-57460). One email was received expressing support for the data 
collection as proposed. No modifications were made to the proposed data 
collection elements and associated data collection instruments.

Estimated Annualized Burden Hours

    The total estimated burden is 460.78 hours per year for individuals 
requesting and/or receiving resource support through NCLER. This figure 
is based on ACL field testing of 8 providers working within aging/
disability/legal networks who measured the time required to fully 
submit information by answering the required questions using 
standardized forms:
