Abstract: The purpose of the federal Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) State Partnership Program is to create and strengthen a system of services and supports that maximizes the independence, well-being, and health of people with TBIs across the lifespan and all other demographics, their family members, and support networks. The TBI State Partnership Program funds the development and implementation of statewide systems that ensure access to TBI related services, including transitional services, rehabilitation, education and employment, and long-term community support. To best monitor, guide, and support TBI State Partnership Program grantees, ACL needs regular information about the grantees’ activities and outcomes. The simplest, least burdensome, and most useful way to accomplish this goal is to require grantees to submit information as part of their required semiannual reports via the proposed electronic data submission instrument.

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden estimates presented here represent a significant reduction in estimated burden compared to the initial proposed IC in January 2018. At that time, ACL estimated there would could be as many as 45 grantees and each report would require 16 hours of grantee time to complete or 32 hours per year total. This submission to OMB includes our revised burden estimates based on how the proposed instrument has been shortened in length, narrowed in scope, and simplified in terms of the data requested. The specific changes to the data collection instrument that produce these reductions in burden are described under Question 8 in the supporting statement. This is a new information collection with a program change increase of 432 annual burden hours.
