FAI and DAU work together to address many of the acquisition workforce training needs of the Federal Government. Partnering with DAU enables FAI to build upon existing DAU training, develop Governmentwide curriculum, and promote a cohesive and agile workforce. FAI will describe plans and requirements for training-related services under the Acquisition Workforce Training Fund (AWTF). Of particular interest to vendors is a solicitation for core acquisition training that FAI plans to issue soon. DAU will discuss plans for the redesign of Contracting (CON) Level 2 courses.

In accordance with the Healthy People 2010 goal to ‘‘eliminate elevated blood lead levels in children,’’ there is a need for primary prevention of childhood lead poisoning. Primary prevention is the removal of lead hazards from a child’s environment before the child is exposed. Ensuring compliance with the Lead Disclosure Rule is one component of a primary prevention strategy. The U.S. Department of Justice, HUD, and EPA, in partnership with local health, housing, and law enforcement agencies have completed more than 34 enforcement settlements under the Lead Disclosure Rule. As a result, they have obtained commitments from property owners to test and abate lead-based paint hazards in their high-risk rental housing units. HUD has requested the assistance of the Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch at CDC to design and implement an evaluation of their enforcement efforts. As part of this evaluation effort, CDC is interested in the perception of the Lead Disclosure Rule by sectors of the property owner population that have been targeted less often for enforcement of the rule. This survey of rental property owners who own fewer than 50 rental units will be the first effort of its kind to capture this particular population’s self-reported awareness of and compliance with the Lead Disclosure Rule. The survey will be administered in four U.S. cities during 2005 and 2006. Two of the cities will be involved in a compliance assistance and enforcement intervention by HUD. The other two cities will be control cities (without such an intervention). For all four cities, CDC will conduct a cross sectional, ‘‘before and after’’ study design. Each respondent will be surveyed only once, and participation is voluntary. Respondents will be asked to complete a brief written survey and return the survey anonymously via the addressed, stamped envelope that CDC will provide. There is no cost to respondents except the time to complete the survey. The estimated total burden hours are 250.

The first Injury Control and Risk Factor Survey (ICARIS), conducted in 1994, was a random digit dial telephone survey that collected injury risk factor and demographic data on 5,238 Englishand Spanish-speaking adults (18 years of age or older) in the United States. Proxy data were collected on 3,541 children less than 15 years old. More than a dozen peer-reviewed scientific reports have been published from the ICARIS data on related subjects including dog bites, bicycle helmet use, residential smoke detector usage, fire escape practices, attitudes toward violence, suicidal ideation/behavior, and compliance with pediatric injury prevention counseling. ICARIS–2 is a national telephone survey focusing on injuries. The survey process began in the summer of 2001 and was completed in early 2003. Analyses are currently being conducted on the data collected on nearly 10,000 respondents. The first phase of the survey was initiated as a means for monitoring the injury risk factor status of the nation at the start of the millennium. The 2nd phase of ICARIS–2 is needed to expand knowledge in areas investigators could not fully explore previously. By using data collected in ICARIS as a baseline, the data collected in Phase-2 will be used to measure changes and gauge the impact of injury prevention policies. This current national telephone survey on injury risk is being implemented to fully monitor injury risk factors and selected year ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ injury objectives, as well as evaluate the effectiveness of injury prevention programs.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information Background and Brief Description This project will use data from a telephone survey to measure injuryrelated risk factors and guide injury prevention and control priorities, including those identified as priorities in ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ objectives for the nation. Injuries are a major cause of premature death and disability with associated economic costs of over 150 billion dollars in lifetime costs for persons injured each year. ‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ objectives and the recent report from the Institute of Medicine, ‘‘Reducing the Burden of Injury’’, call for reducing this toll. In addition to national efforts, NCIPC funds injury control prevention programs at the state and local levels. The use of outcome data (e.g., fatal injuries) for measuring program effectiveness is problematic because cause-specific events are relatively rare and data on critical risk factors (e.g., whether a helmet was worn in a bike crash, whether a smoke detector was present at a fatal fire, etc.) are often missing. Because these risk factors occur early in the causal chain of injury, injury control programs generally target them to prevent injuries. Accordingly, monitoring the level of injury risk factors in a population can ESTIMATES OF ANNUALIZED BURDEN TABLE Number of respondents Respondents Adult male and female (18 years of age and older) .......................................

Proposed Project

    2005 Lead Disclosure Rule Public Awareness Survey--New--National 
Center for Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The proposed 2005 Lead Disclosure Rule Public Awareness Survey will 
assess small and medium-sized rental property owners' self-reported 
awareness of and compliance with the Lead Disclosure Rule. The Lead 
Disclosure Rule requires property owners to disclose to prospective 
tenants and buyers the presence of lead paint and lead-based paint 
hazards in residential properties built before 1978, if known by the 
owners. The rule was published under the authority of Title X of the 
Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 by the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) at 24 CFR part 35, subpart A, and 
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part 745, 
subpart F.
    Childhood lead poisoning, while on the decline, remains a threat to 
the health and well-being of young children across the United States. 
In accordance with the Healthy People 2010 goal to ``eliminate elevated 
blood lead levels in children,'' there is a need for primary prevention 
of childhood lead poisoning. Primary prevention is the removal of lead 
hazards from a child's environment before the child is exposed.

local health, housing, and law enforcement agencies have completed more 
than 34 enforcement settlements under the Lead Disclosure Rule. As a 
result, they have obtained commitments from property owners to test and 
abate lead-based paint hazards in their high-risk rental housing units. 
HUD has requested the assistance of the Lead Poisoning Prevention 
Branch at CDC to design and implement an evaluation of their 
enforcement efforts.
