Older Americans Act

AGENCY: Administration on Aging, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Administration on Aging (AoA) is announcing that the 
proposed collection of information listed below has been submitted to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Submit written comments on the collection of information by 
December 4, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Submit written comments on the collection of information to 
the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, OMB, New Executive 
Office Bldg., 725 17th St., NW., rm. 10235, Washington, DC 20503, Attn: 
Brenda Aguilar, Desk Officer for AoA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Saadia Greenberg, Office of 
Evaluation, Administration on Aging, Room 5607, Washington, DC 20201, 
(202) 357-3554.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, AoA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.
    State Program Reports provide state totals of the number of persons 
served for each type of service under the Older Americans Act Title III 
and Title VII programs as well as the number units of services provided 
and some characteristics of the clients. Information is also reported 
on expenditures for each type of service, staffing levels of state and 
area agencies on aging.
    The information collection is an annual requirement for the 56 
respondents. These respondents include the State and Territorial Units 
on Aging comprised of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, the U.S. 
Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. territories. The AoA 
estimates that a state of average size and complexity will need to 
commit 2,228 hours to prepare a full report.
    In the Federal Register of June 2, 2003 (Vol. 68, No. 105), the 
agency requested comments on the proposed revised collection of 
information. The comments received were analyzed and have been 
incorporated wherever possible into this submission. As a result, we 
have reduced the reporting burden considerably. We are now seeking 
approval for this revision of the State Program Reports.

    Dated: October 30, 2003.
Josefina G. Carbonell,
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
