SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, the Administration for Community Living has submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for review and clearance.

The “Empowering Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities through Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) Programs” cooperative agreement program has been financed through Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF), most recently by FY2015 PPHF funds. The proposed data collection is necessary for monitoring grant program operations and outcomes. AoA proposes to gather information to monitor grantee progress, record location of sites where workshops are held which will allow mapping of the delivery infrastructure, and document participant attendance and demographic and health characteristics.

The proposed data collection tools may be found on the AoA Web site at: http://www.aoa.acl.gov/AoA_Programs/Tools_Resources/collection_tools.aspx. ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as 128 hours for grantee staff, 220 hours for local agency staff and volunteers, and 92 hours for individuals—total burden is 440 hours per year. This assumes a data collection sample of 386 workshops.
