The information submitted by Older Americans Act (OAA) Title VI grantees is AoAâs principle source of information on programs and services funded under the (OAA). The Program Performance Report (PPR) serves as the Program Performance Report for grantees to meet their annual grantee reporting requirements and includes the data required by the OAA to be reported in the AoA Annual Report to Congress. The data collection is summary data of services for seniors and family caregivers provided or managed by American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Data is submitted annually by all Title VI grantees. It includes information on the number of people served, the number of units of specific services, expenditures, and number of staff. Data from the PPR are the primary source for performance measures in the Congressional budget justification; the HHS Annual Performance Plan and Report as well as the Annual Report to Congress referred to above. AoA also uses the data to respond to inquiries from stakeholders, the public, and the press as well as program and policy decision makers.
These reporting requirements are a revision of those which are currently in effect under OMB 0985-0007. There is a program change increase from 2.5 hours for A/B and C to 3.5 hours per respondent, for a total increase of 392.5 annual burden hours. The factors that influenced the revision of the PPR include: 1) the need to modernize the data structure to allow for more efficient reporting and the ability to use current technology for reporting and analysis; 2) the interest in aligning data elements within and across data collections; 3) the need to consider alternative data elements that reflect the current Aging Network and long-term care services and supports; and 4) the need to enhance data quality.
