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.
The Fourth National Survey of Older Americans Act Service
Recipients builds on earlier national studies and performance
measurement tools developed by grantees in the Performance Outcomes
Measures Project (POMP). It will include consumer assessment surveys
for congregate and home delivered meal nutrition program,
transportation, homecare services and other title IIIB services, and
National Family Caregiver Support Program. Copies of the POMP
instruments can be located at http://www.gpra.net. Information
collected through the study will be used by AoA to track performance
outcome measures, support budget requests; comply with Government
Performance Results Act (GPRA) reporting requirements; provide
information for OMB's program assessment (PART) process; provide
national benchmark information for grantees and inform program
improvement and management initiatives.
AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows: 250 Area Agencies on Aging will have to commit 4 hours each
for identifying potential clients to be interviewed for the survey. The
estimated burden is 1,000 hours. 6,000 individuals will be surveyed
about their usage and satisfaction with services. Each interview takes
approximately 30 minutes for an estimated burden of 3,000 hours. Total
burden of data collection is 4,000 hours.
Dated: August 8, 2007.
Josefina G. Carbonell,
Assistant Secretary for Aging.
