Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: Developmental Disabilities Protection & Advocacy Program 
Performance Report.
    OMB No.: 0980-0160.
    Description: This information collection is a reporting by 
Protection & Advocacy (P&A) systems in each State. Using this reporting 
format, the P&A systems describe their program performance during the 
previous fiscal year in the pursuit of their effort under Part C of the 
Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 
U.S.C., 6000 et seq.) to protect the civil and human rights of persons 
with developmental disabilities. This program performance report (PPR) 
is required by Section 107(b) of the Developmental Disabilities 
Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 U.S.C., 6000 et seq.).
    The PPR is submitted by each P&A system to the Department of Health 
and Human Services, which will use the data in the PPR to develop an 
annual report to the President, the Congress, and the National Council 
on Disability, as required by Section 107(c) of the Developmental 
Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act (42 U.S.C., 6000 et 
seq.). Additionally, the data in the reports will provide the 
Department with an overview for good management of the program, and 
will enable the Department to respond to Congressional requests.
    Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government.
