The Developmental Disabilities and Bill of Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 15044, requires each Protection and Advocacy for Developmental Disabilities program (PADD) to annually report on âthe activities, accomplishments, and expenditures of the system during the preceding fiscal year, including a description of the systemâs goals, the extent to which the goals were achieved, barriers to their achievement, the process used to obtain public input, the nature of such input, and how such input was used.â In order to comply with this requirement, each PADD annually prepares a Program Performance Report (PPR) (0987-0027) that describes the activities and accomplishments of the system during the preceding fiscal year and a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP) (0985-0034) for each coming fiscal year.
Up to this point, P&As have used separate forms for submitting the PPR (0985-0027) and the SGP (0985-0034). The Department is proposing that the two reports be combined by creating the Protection and Advocacy Annual Program Performance Report and Statement of Goals and Priorities form (PPR/SPG). By combining the forms, we will reduce the burden on grantees because they will only have to submit one report. The combined form will also allow federal reviewers to analyze patterns more readily between goals, priority setting, and program performance.
These are ongoing data collections. It represents revisions with changes of two existing Information Collection Requests.
The Burden for this collection has increased due to the fact that it is being combined with 0985-0034.
