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 an electronic data submission instrument.

Abstract

House Rule 3295, the Help America Vote Act of 2002, mandates that States verify the identities of newly registered voters. When newly registered voters do not have driver’s licenses or State-issued ID cards, they must supply the last four digits of their Social Security number to their local State election agencies for verification. The election agencies forward this information to their State Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA), and the State MVA inputs the data into the American Association of MVAs, a central consolidation system that routes the voter data to SSA’s Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) system. Once SSA’s HAVV system confirms the identity of the voter, the information returns along the same route in reverse until it reaches the State election agency. The respondents are the State MVAs seeking to confirm voter identities.

Abstract

Administration of Children and Families (ACF) received approval of a Uniform Project Description (UPD) in February 2023 to collect information from Congressionally Directed Community Projects (CDCP) recipients. The information is being gathered to reduce risk and meet statutory and regulatory requirements. While this information collection has been vital in accomplishing that goal, we need to make a nonsubstantive change to the language to remain in compliance with new ACF Office of General Council (OGC) requirements and further clarify the requirements of the Social Services Research and Demonstration (SSRD) legislation [42 United State Code § 1310]. This is a nonsubstantive change of the section called “Non-federal Commitment of Resources.” The change being proposed creates no additional response fields and should have no impact on the time to complete the application or increase burden on applicants.

Abstract

The Administration for Community Living’s (ACL’s) Office of Healthcare Information and Counseling (OHIC) seeks to collect data for grantees to develop standardized grantee profiles for three programs managed by OHIC: State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP), and Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA). SHIP was authorized by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, SMP by the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriation Act of 1997, and MIPPA was passed in 2008. For grantees in each program, there is a specific set of reporting requirements and associated reporting schedules outlined in the OHIC Program Reporting Guidelines. These include monthly, semiannual, and final reports that are either general or financial reports. Although reporting requirements are effective in obtaining specific grantees’ data, there is neither consistency nor uniformity in how individual grantees submit the data elements beyond a high-level agency overview. Profiles, or standardized documents summarizing grantee efforts, have been used by ACL for monitoring purposes and information sharing between grantees. However, profiles were only developed for SHIP grantees and were last updated in 2016. The goal of this data collection effort is to obtain consistent data elements for SHIP, SMP, and MIPPA program grantees. Data will allow ACL to develop an updated set of grantee profiles that are accessible, visually appealing, and uniform across programs. The profiles will be internal to ACL and will only be shared with OHIC grantees.

Section 154 (e) (42 USC 15064) of the DD Act of 2000 includes requirements for a UCEDD Annual Report. Section 104 (a) (42 USC 15004) of the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 (DD Act) directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop and implement a system of program accountability to monitor the grantees funded under the DD Act of 2000. The program accountability system must include UCEDDs authorized under Part D of the DD Act of 2000. Section 154 (e) (42 USC 15064) of the DD Act of 2000 includes requirements for a UCEDD Annual Report. The UCEDD Annual Report should contain information on progress made in achieving the projected goals of the Center for the previous year, including: (1) The extent to which the goals were achieved; (2) A description of the strategies that contributed to achieving the goals; (3) The extent goals were not achieved, a description of factors that impeded the achievement; and (4) An accounting of the manner in which funds paid to the Center under this subtitle for a fiscal year were expended. In addition, the DD Act requires information on proposed revisions to the goals; and a description of successful efforts to leverage funds, other than funds made available under the DD Act. The DD Act also states grantees must report on: (1) Consumer satisfaction with the advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities of the UCEDD; (2) The extent to which the UCEDD’s advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change activities resulted in improvements; and (3) The extent to which collaboration was achieved in the areas of advocacy, capacity building, and systemic change. Currently, UCEDDs engage in four broad tasks: conducting interdisciplinary training, promoting exemplary community service programs and providing technical assistance at all levels from local service delivery to community and state governments, conducting research, and disseminating information to the field. There are 67 UCEDDs throughout the United States with at least one or more in every State and Territory, as mandated. This is a revision of a currently approved information collection. While the IC remains the same and is consistent with currently approved data elements, the revisions are specifically designed to include a reporting mechanism to provide information to ACL on their use of funds to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities through Centers for Disease Control (CDC) funds to expand vaccine access and the Public Health Workforce funds (PHWF) to strengthen the public health workforce.

Section 70607 created a Task Force on the Replacement of Direct File that is directed to issue a report to Congress by October 2, 2025. One of the requirements of the task force is to collect taxpayer opinions and preferences regarding a taxpayer-funded, government-run service or a free service provided by the private sector. To meet this requirement, we will be inviting the public to participate in a brief, anonymous feedback survey. The survey will focus on obtaining taxpayer opinions and preferences about government and private sector free tax filing options. The IRS needs to publish the Free Online Tax Preparation Feedback Survey to obtain taxpayer opinions and preferences regarding a taxpayer-funded, government-run service or a free service provided by the private sector on the Replacement of Direct File. Under this provision The Department of the Treasury, who has delegated the responsibility to the IRS, is required to obtain this feedback from taxpayers for the report that is due to Congress on Oct. 2, 2025. The feedback collected from taxpayers in this survey is a critical input to the Report and will shape the recommendations that are made to Congress.
