The Developmental Disabilities and
Bill of Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. 15044, requires each Protection and
Advocacy for Developmental Disabilities program (PADD) to annually
report on “the activities, accomplishments, and expenditures of the
system during the preceding fiscal year, including a description of
the system’s goals, the extent to which the goals were achieved,
barriers to their achievement, the process used to obtain public
input, the nature of such input, and how such input was used.” In
order to comply with this requirement, each PADD annually prepares
a Program Performance Report (PPR) (0987-0027) that describes the
activities and accomplishments of the system during the preceding
fiscal year and a Statement of Goals and Priorities (SGP)
(0985-0034) for each coming fiscal year. Up to this point, P&As
have used separate forms for submitting the PPR (0985-0027) and the
SGP (0985-0034). The Department is proposing that the two reports
be combined by creating the Protection and Advocacy Annual Program
Performance Report and Statement of Goals and Priorities form
(PPR/SPG). By combining the forms, we will reduce the burden on
grantees because they will only have to submit one report. The
combined form will also allow federal reviewers to analyze patterns
more readily between goals, priority setting, and program
performance. These are ongoing data collections. It represents
revisions with changes of two existing Information Collection
Requests.
The Burden for this collection
has increased due to the fact that it is being combined with
0985-0034.
