In compliance with 44 U.S.C. § 3507,
the Administration for Community Living (ACL), Office of
Independent Living Programs (OILP) has submitted the following
extension without change information collection to OMB for review
and approval to collect data under the approved Center for
Independent Living (CIL) Program Performance Report (PPR) and CARES
Act reporting requirements under OMB control number 0985-0061. The
Rehabilitation Act Title VII, Subchapter C of 1973 (The Act)
requires three Independent Living program reports: (1) State Plan
for Independent Living, (2) Independent Living Services (ILS)
Program Performance Report (PPR), and (3) Centers for Independent
Living (CILs) PPR. This request is for the CIL PPR submitted
annually by every CIL that receives funding. The CIL PPR serves as
the main way for CILs to fulfill the requirement to “[submit] an
approvable annual performance report demonstrating that the Center
meets the indicators of minimum compliance.” 29 U.S.C. § 725(c)(8)
(2015); 45 CFR § 1329.21(a)(2). Please see comment The CARES Act
requires ACL to report monthly to “the Office of Management and
Budget, the Bureau of Fiscal Service in the Department of the
Treasury, the [Pandemic Response Accountability Committee], and the
appropriate congressional committees on any obligation or
expenditure of large”—meaning more than $150,000—“covered funds,
including . . . awards.” The CARES Act requires ACL grantees that
receive CARES Act funding to report quarterly, to ACL and to the
Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, “the total amount of
large covered funds that the grantee received from ACL; the amount
of large covered funds received that were expended or obligated for
each project or activity; a detailed list of all projects or
activities for which large covered funds were expended or
obligated, including the name of the project or activity; a
description . . .; and the estimated number of jobs created or
retained by the project or activity, where applicable; and detailed
information on any subcontracts or Subgrants. . .” Coronavirus Aid,
Relief, and Economic Security Act, Pub. L. No. 116-136, H.R. 748 §
15011(a–b), 116th Cong. (2020). ACL updated the CIL to include
guidance and an updated instrument, which highlights data elements
required by different CIL grantees to report CARES Act related data
in June 2020. The CIL PPR provides additional instructions and a
form for CILs to enter data specific to the CARES Act funded
services with an emphasis on COVID-19 related services defined in
the CARES Act. Funded data requires CILs that receive funds to
report activities that assist individuals with disabilities with
needs resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
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
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
