The data collection associated with the Evaluation of the Elderly Nutrition Services Program (ENSP) is necessary to meet three broad objectives of ACL: (1) To provide information to support program planning, including an analysis of program processes, (2) to develop information about program efficiency and cost issues, and (3) to assess program effectiveness, as measured by the program's effects on a variety of important outcomes, including nutrient adequacy, socialization opportunities, health outcomes, and, ultimately, helping elderly people avoid institutionalization.

In response to the 60-day Federal Register notice related to this proposed data collection and published on April 5, 2012, no relevant comments were received. The proposed data collection tools and participant recruitment materials may be found on the AoA Web site: http://www.aoa.gov/​AoARoot/​Program_​Results/​ENSP/​Index.aspx. ACL estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows 3,750 hours for individuals, 1,672 for local agencies (AAAs and LSPs) and 94.08 hours for State Units on Aging (SUAs) and 463 hours for organizations—Total Burden for Study 5,516.08 hours.
