Abstract: The Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP) was established under Section 398 of the Public Health Service Act (P.L. 78-410; 42 U.S.C. 280c-3). It was amended by the Home Health Care and Alzheimer's Disease Amendments of 1990 (PL 101-557) and by the Health Professions Education Partnerships Act of 1998 (PL 105-392). The ADSSP is administered by the Administration on Aging (AoA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The ADSSP program helps states extend supports and services to persons with dementia and their family caregivers, with a focus on underserved populations. The PHS Act requires AoA to "provide for an evaluation of each demonstration project for which a grant is made." In compliance with the PHS Act, AoA developed a new State data collection protocol that will require future ADSSP state grantees (those funded starting in FY 2011) to transmit semi-annual data to AoA. In December 2009, AoA initiated a review of the current ADSSP-Data Reporting Tool (ADSSP-DRT) to ensure the acceptability of these items for evaluating the program and minimizing burden for respondents. This review included experts in the field of Alzheimer's disease and long-term care who are familiar with the program, as well as current ADSSP grantees. Feedback was provided by phone and e-mail over a period of 4 months. The result of this input is the revised ADSSP-DRT and supporting documents. As with the current ADSSP-DRT, AoA will work with ADSSP grantees to ensure easy access to a reporting system and offer regular training in using the tool to ensure minimal burden for program grantees.

Burden Increase Due to:

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The annual reporting burden hour estimates have decreased from 1176 hours to 983.44. The following reasons account for the change in burden hour estimates: • Although, for data set approved in 2013, it was anticipated that grantee respondents would spend 39 hours reporting annually, the actual number of hours spent (local and state combined), as reported by the current ADSSP and ADI grantees consulted, was 16.54 hours annually per grant • The 39 hours annual burden hour estimate from 2013 was an over-estimate because data provided from grantees were based on the 2010 version. Several items included in the 2010 tool were not included in the 2013 revised tool. The 2016 revision includes fewer items than the 2013 revision. The following reasons account for the change in burden cost estimates: • The new estimates are for 38 grants, rather than the 30 grants from the previous ADSSP-DRT approval. • The pay rates for both local and grantee staff increased between 2013 and 2016. • The annualized cost to the government decreased due to decreased contractor costs through the elimination of maintenance for a data collection web platform.
