CDC plans to conduct a scientifically valid environmental epidemiologic study to assess the potential adverse health effects among children. Plans involve a two-year Feasibility Study to investigate the association between exposure to temporary housing units and health conditions and to assess the practicality of conducting a larger longitudinal study. If certain feasibility objectives are met, such as identifying a sufficient number of eligible participants, a 6-year Full Study will be conducted following the same study design as the Feasibility Study. The Feasibility Study will be conducted in the states of Louisiana and Mississippi. The study will assess the potential health impacts from exposures to various indoor pollutants (e.g., formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds and plasticizers, including phthalates) commonly found in higher assessment for each participant. The baseline assessment will include a health questionnaire, clinical assessment including biological sample collection, and environmental exposure measurement. The environmental exposure assessment will be collecting biomarkers of exposure and measuring exposures to environmental pollutants using personal and indoor sampling devices over a 7-day period. In the 6month follow-up assessment, a shorter version of the health questionnaire and the same clinical and environmental exposure assessments will be conducted. Accounting for a 10% loss to followup, the sample size for the 6-month follow-up assessment is projected to be 504 children. If a determination is made to conduct the Full Study, these 504 children will be part of the Full Study and continue to participate in the rest of five follow-up assessments occurring at 9-month intervals. There is no cost to the participants except their time. concentrations in the temporary housing units compared with other types of housing. In the study, a 1:1 ratio of exposed and unexposed children age 5–17 years will be recruited. Children who resided in temporary housing units will be categorized into the ‘‘exposed’’ group and children who did not reside in temporary housing units will be categorized into the ‘‘unexposed’’ group. A screening questionnaire will be used to assess eligibility and exposure to temporary housing units. The screening questionnaire will be conducted with one adult resident of each selected household. Based on responses to the screening questions, one eligible child will be selected for the study from each participating household. To obtain the desired sample size, we plan to screen 2,500 households in order to identify 700 eligible children. Of these, it is expected that 80%, or 560 children, will agree to participate in the study. The Feasibility Study will involve a baseline and a 6-month follow-up ESTIMATED ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS Type of respondent Type of instrument Household member 18 years or older ..........

OMB No.: New Collection. Description: The Office of Community Services (OCS) is collecting key information about projects funded through the Community Economic Development (CED) and Job Opportunities for Low-Income Individuals (JOLI) programs. The legislative requirement for these two programs is in Title IV of the Community Opportunities, Accountability and Training and Educational Services Act (COATS Human Services Reauthorization Act) of October 27, 1998, Public Law 105–285, section 680(b) as amended. The Performance Progress Report (PPR) is a new proposed reporting format that will collect information concerning the outcomes and management of CED and JOLI projects. OCS will use the data to critically review the overall design and effectiveness of each program. The PPR will be administered to all active grantees of the CED and JOLI programs. Grantees will be required to use this reporting tool for their semiannual reports. The majority of the questions in this tool were adapted from a previously approved questionnaire, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number: 0970–0317. Questions were also adapted to the OMB-approved reporting format of the PPR, specifically forms SF–PPR, SF– PPR–A, SF–PPR–B, and SF–PPR–E. Additional changes were made to improve the clarity and quality of the data and to eliminate unnecessary questions. The PPR will replace both the annual questionnaire and the current semi-annual reporting format, which will result in an overall reduction in burden for the grantees while significantly improving the quality of the data collected by OCS.
