The information submitted by Older
Americans Act (OAA) Title VI grantees is AoA’s 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.
