Administration for Community Living


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Public Comment Request; Evidence-Based Falls Prevention 
Program; OMB Control Number, 0985-0039

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 Evidence-Based Falls 
Prevention Program's Proposed Extension with Changes of a Currently 
Approved Collection.

DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
March 5, 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: Shannon Skowronski at 
[email protected] or 202-795-7438.

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 Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs is a cooperative 
agreement financed through the Prevention and Public Health Fund 
(PPHF), most recently with FY 2017 PPHF funds. The statutory authority 
for cooperative agreements under the current program announcement is 
contained in the Public Health Service Act, 42 U.S.C. 300u-2 (Community 
Programs) and 300u-3 (Information Programs); and Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2017, Public Law 115-31, Title II; and the Patient 
Protection and Affordable Care Act, 42 U.S.C. 300u-11 (Prevention and 
Public Health Fund).
    The Evidence-Based Falls Prevention Programs support a national 
resource center and award competitive grants to implement evidence-
based community programs that have been proven to reduce the incidence 
of falls for older adults. The programs also identify sustainable 
funding mechanisms for these programs via the national resource center, 
promote the importance of falls prevention strategies, and provide 
public education about the risks of falls and ways to prevent them.
    OMB approval of the existing set of Falls Prevention data 
collection tools (OMB Control Number, 0985-0039) expires on 01/31/2018. 
This data collection continues to be necessary for monitoring program 
operations and outcomes. ACL/AoA proposes to use the following tools: 
(1) Semi-annual performance reports to monitor grantee progress; (2) a 
Host Organization Data form to record the location of agencies that 
sponsor programs that will allow mapping of the delivery 
infrastructure; and (3) a set of tools used to collect information at 
each program completed by the program leaders (Program Information 
Cover Sheet and Attendance Log), a Participant Information Form 
completed by each participant, and a Post Program Survey to be 
completed by a random sample of participants. ACL/AoA intends to 
continue using an online data entry system for the program and 
participant survey data.

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 October 3, 3017, Volume 82, Number 190, page 
46064. Four emails were received with comments. Based on the comments, 
some minor modifications were made to the proposed survey instruments. 
In addition to the public comments, feedback on the current forms was 
sought from the following:

 ACL Performance and Evaluation subject matter experts
 CDC Injury Prevention Center subject matter experts
 National Falls Prevention Resource Center and falls prevention 
subject matter experts
 Two grantee focus groups (with fewer than 9 participants 
combined)

    Based on this collective feedback, the following modifications to 
the currently approved forms are being proposed:
     On the Participant Information Form:
    1. Question #8 on currently approved and proposed Participant 
Information Form: Additional chronic conditions have been added to the 
list of options: Cancer; high blood pressure/hypertension; 
osteoporosis; and Parkinson's Disease.
    2. Question #8 on currently approved and proposed Participant 
Information Form: None (no chronic conditions) has been removed from 
the list of options.
    3. Question #11 on currently approved and proposed Participant 
Information Form: Two sub-questions have been added to assess the:

 Frequency of Falls (6b)
 Impact of Falls (6c)

    4. Question #15 on the Participant Information Form has been added 
to examine home modifications
    5. Question #16 on the Participant Information Form has been added 
to examine activity level
    On the Post Program Survey:
    1. Question #2 on the currently approved and proposed Post Program 
Survey: Two sub-questions have been added to assess the:

 Frequency of Falls (6b)
 Impact of Falls (6c)

    2. Question #4 on the currently approved Post Program Survey (``Has 
this program reduced your fear of falling?'') has been removed.
    3. Question #7 on currently approved Post Program Survey and 
Question #6 on the proposed form: Removed ``I plan to continue 
exercising'' from the list of options. Activity level is now addressed 
in Question #9.
    4. Question #8 on currently approved Post Program Survey and 
Question #7 on the proposed form: Removed ``Did exercises I learned in 
this program at home'' from the list of options. Activity level is now 
addressed in Question #9 on the revised form.
    5. Question #8 on currently approved Post Program Survey and 
Question #7 on the proposed form: Removed ``Made changes in my home to 
reduce my risk of falling (for example, secured rugs or improved 
lighting)'' from the list of options. Home modifications are now 
addressed in Question #8 in the revised form.
    6. Question #8 on the Participant Information Form has been added 
to examine home modifications
    7. Question #9 on the Participant Information Form has been added 
to examine activity level
    On the Program Information Cover Sheet:
    1. Question #6 has been revised to improve clarity to read 
``Session 0/Introductory Session''.

[[Page 4660]]

    2. Question #7 has been revised to change wording to ``Name of 
program offered.''

Estimated Annualized Burden Hours

    The proposed Falls Prevention Data Collection Tools can be found at 
ACL's Website at: https://www.acl.gov/about-acl/public-input.
    The total estimated burden is 4,345 hours per year. ACL/AoA 
estimates the burden of this collection of information as 288 hours for

individuals.
