    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. “Collection of information” is defined as and includes agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. The PRA requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, ACL is publishing a notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document.

    With respect to the following collection of information, ACL invites comments on our burden estimates or any other aspect of this collection of information, including:

    (1) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of ACL's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility;

    (2) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

    (3) accuracy of ACL's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to determine burden estimates;

    (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

    This information collection gathers sub-award data required from State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) grantees to provide the amount of federal funds provided annually to each sub-contractor and sub-grantee that are delivering SHIP services. Congress requires this data collection for program monitoring of the SHIP under the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, SEC. 50207 (b). Collection of this data allows ACL to communicate with Congress and the public on the SHIP network of agencies. The data collected is electronically posted on the ACL website to educate the network on who the SHIP state sub-recipients are and how much money they are receiving.

    The proposed data collection tools may be found on the ACL website for review at https://www.acl.gov/​about-acl/​public-input.

    Estimated Program Burden: ACL estimates the respondent burden hours to prepare and complete all reports associated with this collection will be hours.
