Starting in September 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) provided additional funding to double the size of the SMP program. The SMP program expansion has resulted in unanticipated additional requirements and needs for technical assistance and support for SMP projects from the Center. In particular the need for enhanced and improved collection of SMP outcomes, including new data elements within the SMART FACTS system, has been generated by SMP expansion. Additional requirements for Center support of the SMP volunteer program have also been generated by the program expansion and capacity building initiative. Expanded funding is expected to greatly increase the SMP projects’ requests for technical assistance and support from the Center. Supplemental funding is necessary to ensure the Center can continue to fulfill its technical assistance and support role in a timely and effective manner to meet the increased needs of the expanded SMP program.

Proposed Project The Green Housing Study—New— National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH) and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR)/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description This study directly supports the Healthy People 2020 Healthy Homes’ health protection goal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This investigation is also consistent with CDC’s Health Protection Research Agenda, which calls for research to identify the major environmental causes of disease and disability and related risk factors. The efficacy of green building design features in reducing allergens and toxic substances within the home has been assumed based on conventional wisdom. A better understanding is needed of the extent to which greenbuilt, low-income housing actually reduces exposures to these compounds when compared to standard-built, lowincome housing. In addition, this study may provide insight into how specific green building practices (e.g., use of low chemical-emitting paints and carpets) may influence levels of substances in the home such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). A study investigating these topics would provide a solid foundation upon which to explore green affordable housing’s potential to promote healthy homes principles. The title of this study has changed since publication of the initial 60-day Federal Register Notice (FRN) (formally E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1
