ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging (AoA) is announcing an opportunity
for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by
the agency. 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 Title VI Program Performance Report.
DATES: Submit written or electronic comments on the collection of
information by April 7, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments on the collection of information
to: Yvonne.Jackson@aoa.gov. Submit written comments on the collection
of information to Administration on Aging, Washington, DC 20201.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Yvonne Jackson; Director; Office for
American Indian, Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian Programs;
Administration on Aging, Washington, DC; (202) 357-3501;
Yvonne.Jackson@aoa.gov.
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, AoA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document. With respect to the
following collection of information, AoA invites comments on: (1)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of AoA's functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of AoA'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 purpose is to continue an existing information collection,
Title VI Program Performance Report, from Title VI grantees to use in
reporting information on programs funded by Title VI as required under
section 202(a)(19), section 614(a)(2), and section 614(a)(3) of the
Older Americans Act, as amended.
AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:
Frequency: Semi-Annually.
Respondents: Tribal Organizations.
Estimated Number of Responses: 486.
Estimated Burden Hours: 729.
Dated: January 30, 2003.
