SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance. The Older American's Act requires that ACL evaluate demonstration projects intended to be brought to scale. It also requires prioritization of projects that address the needs of underserved populations and promote partnerships between community-based service providers.

To fulfill the evaluation requirements and allow for optimal federal and state-level management of ACL's Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI), specific information must be collected from grantees. The current reporting tool is set to expire December 31, 2023. The ADPI Project Officer has reviewed the current data collection procedures to ensure the acceptability of these items as appropriate while minimizing burden for grantees. The result of this process is the proposed modifications to the existing data collection tool. ACL is aware that different grantees have different data collection capabilities. It is understood that, following the approval of the modified data collection tool, ACL will work with its grantees to offer regular training to ensure minimal burden.

This information collection collects demographic data from people receiving programs and services funded by HHS. ACL will adhere to best practices for collection of all demographic information when this information is collected for the programs listed in accordance with OMB guidance.


[top] This includes, but is not limited to, guidance specific to the collection of sexual orientation and gender identity page 89699 (SOGI) items that align with Executive Order 13985 on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government, Executive Order 14075 on Advancing Equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Individuals, and Executive Order 13988 on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation. Understanding these disparities can and should lead to improved service delivery for ACL's programs and populations served.
