To comply with this requirement, ACL is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. With respect to the following collection of information, ACL invites comments on:
(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)the accuracy of ACL's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(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. The National Survey of Older Americans Act
