Because the FY 1996 and proposed FY 1997 SPR fulfill the AoA's statutory mandate and will serve as the primary collection supporting AoA's GPRA initiatives, they are approved for use under the following conditions: . For the FY 1996 SPR, AoA is responsive to state-specific problems in meeting the November 30, 1996 deadline (as discussed in the State of New York's public comments to OMB dated July 16, 1996 and August 16, 1996.) Particularly for large complex states , this deadline may be challenging, and a month extension may make a considerable difference in the quality of data submitted by local units. In addition, the next submission for OMB review should include an analysis of state compliance with the November deadline. If a significant number of states persist in missing this deadline and request extensions, the AoA should consider alternatives to this deadline, e.g. a month extension or a statutory amendment extending its January deadline; . In response to numerous state comments (e.g. the State of California, the State of Wisconsin, and the State of New Mexico), AoA allows states additional flexibility by providing limited state-specific extensions of the compliance deadline for the FY 1997 SPR, based upon criteria outlined in a future state policy transmittal. Criteria for granting such an extension should include submission of a state plan for meeting the SPR requirements in the future and evidence that the state has made reasonable progress in fulfilling the SPR objectives to date. In drafting this transmittal, the AoA must consult with state aging agency associations such as NASUA and the NAAAA. The transmittal must be approved by OMB prior to final issuance; . If the AoA's authorizing legislation is amended or GPRA performance measures are formalized, AoA will meet with OMB immediately to discuss appropriate amendments to the SPR. As a result of these discussions, OMB may request that an amended SPR be resubmitted for OMB review pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act. In addition, in the next submission for OMB review, the AoA will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of performance measurement and accountability reporting for each of its services, as well as the statistical validity and reliability of these state data; and . To enhance cross cutting research within HHS, AoA ensures that its uniform ADL/IADL definitions for FY 1997 can be cross walked with the definitions in the Public Health Service's National Health Interview Survey.
