Title: Developmental Disabilities Council Program Performance Report.

OMB No. 0980-0172.

Description: A Development Disabilities Council Program Performance Report is required by federal statute. Each State Developmental Disabilities Council must submit an annual report for the preceding fiscal year of activities and accomplishments.

Information provided in the Program Performance Report will be used (1) in the preparation of the Annual Report to the President, the Congress, and the National Council on Disabilities and (2) to provide a national perspective on program accomplishments and continuing challenges. The current form has been drastically reduced and streamlined to reduce burden on Councils.

Respondents: State Developmental Disabilities Councils

Annual Burden Estimates

Instrument Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden hours per response Total burden hours
Program Performance Report 55 1 22 1,210
Estimated total annual burden Hours 1,210
