OMB appreciates
the thoughtful and rigorous manner in which ACL has developed plans
to transition the National Survey of Older Americans Act
Participants to a longitudinal study in order to provide added
value to users and stakeholders. In order to align the OMB
clearance process with the data collection schedule, ACL agrees to
submit a one-year extension or revision request at the end of the
current 3-year approval period, followed by a full 3-year clearance
package when that one-year extension expires. At least 6 months
prior to submission of the next 3-year OMB clearance package, ACL
agrees to provide a report to OMB describing the initial results
and lessons learned, as well as any revisions planned for the next
round of OMB clearance.

The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) has developed a core set of performance measures for
state and community programs on aging operating under the Older
Americans Act (OAA). The National Survey of Older Americans Act
Participants (NSOAAP) assists ACL to meet the accountability
provisions of the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA). ACL's
NSOAAP utilizes survey modules based on its Performance Outcome
Measures Projects.
This is a proposed revision to
a previously approved data collection. The previously approved data
collection covered a cross-sectional survey. This PRA package
covers a three-year longitudinal survey, as well as cognitive
testing of an updated survey instrument. The results of the
cognitive testing will be incorporated into the final survey
instrument. The final survey instrument will be administered in the
longitudinal survey. When respondents are unreachable at either
Year 2 or Year 3 of the data collection, interviewers will
administer a brief questionnaire to the respondents’ contact person
to determine their status (e.g., currently receiving services or
not currently receiving services and the reasons for the
non-contact).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
