Abstract: The CIL PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with Title VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. On the basis of ACL’s assessments of PPRs, it provides technical assistance when necessary, further assesses compliance when appropriate, grants and denies continuations as appropriate, and terminates grants when necessary. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance programs authorized by section 721 of the Act. (CIL PPRs, because they are all in the same easy-to-understand and easy-to-compare format, conspicuously display trends and patterns that inform ACL's training and technical assistance programs.) See 29 U.S.C. § 721(b)(1); see 45 CFR 1329.24. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, requires three IL program reports: (1) State Plan for Independent Living, (2) ILS Program Performance Report, and (3) Centers for Independent Living PPR. The ILS PPR and CIL PPR were previously combined into one submission. However, for the purposes of this data collection, the ILS PPR and CIL PPR are being submitted separately because they are separate collections of different information from different parties. Separating these PRA processes reduces confusion and increases the Independent Living Administration’s ability to identify issues specific to DSEs and SILCs. This request is for the ILS PPR, which is submitted annually by the SILC and DSE in every state that receives Subchapter B funds. The ILS PPRs are used by ACL to assess grantees’ compliance with title VII of the Act, with 45 CFR part 1329 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and with applicable provisions of the HHS Regulations at 45 CFR part 75. The ILS PPR serves as the primary basis for ACL’s monitoring activities in fulfillment of its responsibilities under sections 706 and 722 of the Act. The PPR is also used by ACL to design CIL and SILC training and technical assistance programs authorized by section 721 of the Act.

Short Statement: The Independent Living Services (ILS) and Center for Independent Living (CIL) program performance reports (PPR) were previously combined into one submission. The ILS PPR and CIL PPR are being submitted separately because they are separate collections of different information from different respondents. Separating these PRA processes reduces confusion and increases the ILA's ability to identify issues specific to designated state entities (DSEs) and Statewide Independent Living Councils.
