The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has submitted a proposed collection of information to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This information collection relates to the State Grants for Assistive Technology Program Annual Progress Report and aims to collect comments by February 4, 2021. The report is necessary for states and territories to comply with the Assistive Technology Act, which provides grants to operate statewide programs that enhance access to assistive technology for individuals with disabilities and older Americans. The ACL has addressed public comments received concerning various proposed changes, including the data collection process and reporting requirements.
Simple Explanation
The government is checking how states help people with disabilities use special tools and wants to know what people think about making changes to these checks. Some people are worried that the changes might make more work for the states, but it's not clear why the changes are needed.
