Abstract: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) funds discretionary grants under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act), which is administered by the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD) as well as the Older Americans Act, which is administered by the Administration on Aging (AoA). In addition, ACL is also responsible for administering other authorizing statutes relevant to older Americans and individuals with disabilities. Based on guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services, and using the previously approved AoA Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) template, ACL has developed a template for FOAs to solicit applications for funding ACL discretionary programs. ACL Program Officers use the Funding Opportunity Announcement template, which also contains Grant Application Instructions and other informational resources and templates as a guide for the development of solicitations for new discretionary funding opportunities. Prospective applicants prepare their applications based on this announcement.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There were only minor changes to the data collection forms. We do not project a change in the burden hours per grantee on this basis. However, ACL added a number of programs since the last ICR, including the State Health Insurance Assistance Program; Paralysis Resource Center; National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research; Assistive Technology programs; Independent Living Administration; Limb Loss Resource Center, and Traumatic Brain Injury program. This resulted in the projected increase in total burden, as compared to the 2013 request. In addition, NIDILRR estimates a slightly lower average hour burden per respondent based on their experience over the past several years. This is reflected in the tables and discussion in question 12.
