The Fourth National Survey of Older Americans Act Service Recipients builds on earlier national studies and performance measurement
tools developed by grantees in the Performance Outcomes Measures Project (POMP). It will include consumer assessment surveys
for congregate and home delivered meal nutrition program, transportation, homecare services and other title IIIB services,

comply with Government Performance Results Act (GPRA) reporting requirements; provide information for OMB's program assessment
(PART) process; provide national benchmark information for grantees and inform program improvement and management initiatives.

AoA estimates the burden of this collection of information as follows: 250 Area Agencies on Aging will have to commit 4 hours
each for identifying potential clients to be interviewed for the survey. The estimated burden is 1,000 hours. 6,000 individuals
will be surveyed about their usage and satisfaction with services. Each interview takes approximately 30 minutes for an estimated
burden of 3,000 hours. Total burden of data collection is 4,000 hours.
