The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) requires grantees funded under its discretionary
grants programs to report semi-annually on the performance of their
projects. AoA uses the generic clearance mechanism to collect
performance data for a number of its smaller programs. The
information submitted by ACL discretionary grantees is used by AoA
to: (a) review and monitor the grantee’s progress in achieving
project objectives; (b) identify significant findings, products,
and practices of the project; and (c) identify areas of performance
that may benefit from advice and assistance from ACL and, in rare
instances, take corrective action.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
