The survey questionnaire was
developed by DBS in partnership with
the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) and
state public health and mental health
departments from Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida,
where the survey is being conducted.
Coastal counties within 32 miles of an
area where fishing was closed due to the
Deepwater Horizon Event were selected
for inclusion. These include the
following Gulf coast counties:
Louisiana: Assumption Parish,
Calcasieu Parish, Cameron Parish, Iberia
Parish, Jefferson Parish, Jefferson Davis
Parish, Lafourche Parish, Orleans
Parish, Plaquemines Parish, St. Bernard
Parish, St. Charles Parish, St. Mary
Parish, St. Tammany Parish, Tangipahoa
Parish, Terrebonne Parish, Vermilion
Parish.

interviewed. Potential respondents will
be notified through an introductory
script that participation is voluntary and
they will not be compensated for
participating. For those who agree to
participate, interviews should last
approximately 20–25 minutes.
Since the OMB emergency clearance
for the DBS Gulf States Population
Survey expires April 30, 2011, DBS is
submitting an information collection
request (ICR) for the portion of the data
collection (May–December, 2011) that is
not covered by the OMB emergency
clearance approval.
Preliminary data from the survey will
be available to SAMHSA and
participating states monthly (pending
sample size). The final dataset and
analyses will be provided to SAMHSA
and participating states in January 2012.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time.
Mississippi: Hancock County,
Harrison County, Jackson County.
Alabama: Baldwin County, Mobile
County.
Florida: Escambia County, Okaloosa
County, Santa Rosa County, Walton
County.
The objective of the survey is to
provide state health and mental health
departments, SAMHSA, and other
appropriate organizations data they
need to assess the need for mental and
behavioral health services in the
selected counties and to inform the
provision of those services.
The telephone survey will collect data
from a random sample of households
with land-line telephones in the
selected counties. Approximately 2,500
interviews will be completed each
month. Adults 18 years or older will be
asked to take part in the survey, but
only one adult per household will be

CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition
Program (DPRP)—New—Division of
Diabetes Translation, National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Evidence from efficacy and
effectiveness research studies has
shown that lifestyle modifications
leading to weight loss and increased
physical activity can prevent or delay
type 2 diabetes in individuals with

prediabetes or those at high risk of
developing diabetes. To translate these
research findings into practice, lifestyle
programs that are effective and
affordable need to be widely available
and delivered on an ongoing basis.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is working to ensure
that effective diabetes prevention
programs are scalable, sustainable and
affordable. To fullfill this mission, CDC
is establishing the CDC Diabetes
Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP)
as an activity of the National Diabetes
Prevention Program, housed in the
Division of Diabetes Translation. The
DPRP will provide a mechanism for
recognizing organizations that deliver
effective, community-based type 2
diabetes prevention programs.
Information about program recognition
status will be available to people at high
risk of type 2 diabetes, their health care
providers, and health payers. The
Diabetes Prevention Recognition
Program is authorized under section
399V–3 of Public Law 111–148, which
directs CDC ‘‘to determine eligibility of
entities to deliver community-based
type 2 diabetes prevention services,’’
monitor and evaluate the services, and
provide technical assistance.
Organizations may apply for
recognition through the DPRP by
completing a one-time, on-line

application form. To qualify, programs
must meet the minimum eligibility
requirements set forth in CDC’s ‘‘DPRP
Draft Recognition Standards and
Operating Procedures.’’ Criteria for
recognition include, but are not limited
to: (1) Following an evidence-based
curriculum that has been proven
effective in research and demonstration
projects, and (2) submitting deidentified participant process and
outcome data to CDC every six months.
CDC will use the process and outcome
data to monitor and evaluate program
effectiveness and to provide targeted
technical assistance to applicant
organizations. Three levels of
recognition will be provided: Pending
recognition for new applicants that have
submitted an application and meet

requested for DPRP recognition is
routinely collected by organizations that
deliver lifestyle programs. To further
minimize burden to respondents, CDC
will accept process and outcome data
submitted using any electronic format,
software or method that meets the
requirements established by DPRP
standards and operating procedures.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. CDC anticipates seeking
continued OMB approval throughout
the lifetime of the DPRP. Respondents
will be organizational entities that offer
diabetes prevention services.
Participation in the DPRP is voluntary,
and there are no costs to respondents
other than their time.

Full recognition for programs that have
demonstrated effectiveness according to

standards.
Each organization that seeks
recognition through the DPRP will
submit an initial, online application
form to CDC. There is no application
deadline. The de-identified process and
outcome data necessary for assessing
program performance will be submitted
to CDC electronically twice per year.
The due dates for these submissions
will be determined by the date of the
organization’s initial application. CDC

This
notice announces an administrative
hearing to reconsider the decision of the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services (CMS) to disapprove California
State plan amendments (SPAs) 08–
009A; 08–009B1; 08–009B2; 08–009D;
and 08–019 which were submitted on
December 31, 2008, and disapproved on
November 18, 2010. The SPAs proposed
to reduce the reimbursement rates for
certain services furnished under the
approved State plan.
In the initial determination, CMS
determined, after consulting with the
Secretary, that it is unable to approve
these SPAs because California has not
demonstrated that it would meet the
conditions set out in section
1902(a)(30)(A) of the Social Security Act
(Act).
Section 1902(a)(30)(A) of the Act
requires that State plans assure that
‘‘payments [to providers] * * * are
sufficient to enlist enough providers so
that care and services are available
under the [State’s Medicaid] plan [to
recipients] at least to the extent that
such care and services are available to

the general population in the geographic
area.’’
When the SPAs were initially
submitted, the State did not provide
information concerning the impact of
the proposed reimbursement reductions
on beneficiary access to services, even
though available national data indicate
that this may be an issue for California.
In the Requests for Additional
Information (RAI) for SPAs TN 08–
009A, TN 08–009B–1, TN 08–009D,
(sent to the State in December 2008),
and 08–019 (sent to the State in March,
2009), CMS requested information about
beneficiary access to services, but
California did not respond. As indicated
in a January 2, 2001, letter to State
Medicaid Directors, to the extent that
responses to such RAIs are not received
within 90 days, CMS may initiate
disapproval action. In this instance, in
addition, CMS had concerns that, given
the time that has elapsed since these
SPAs were submitted but not
implemented, the cumulative effect of a
retroactively effective approval of these
reimbursement reductions would only
serve to exacerbate beneficiary access
concerns.
For these reasons, and after consulting
with the Secretary as required by
Federal regulations at 42 CFR
430.15(c)(2), these SPAs were
disapproved.
