Administration on Aging
Supplemental Funding for the Senior
Medicare Patrol (SMP) Program
Notice of intent to provide
supplemental funding to the existing
cooperative agreement (90NP0001) with
the Administration on Aging.
ACTION:
The Administration on Aging
is announcing the intent to provide
supplemental grant funds for the
support of the Senior Medicare Patrol
(SMP) program. The goal of this
supplemental grant funding is to
address the increased need of SMP
project grantees for technical assistance
and support from the National
Consumer Protection Technical
Resource Center (the Center). This need
has been generated by CMS program
expansion grants which have recently
doubled the size of the SMP program.

Supplemental funding to provide

August 31, 2012.
II. Justification for the Exception to
Competition
AoA has awarded the National
Consumer Protection Technical
Resource Center (the Center) a
cooperative agreement through the
competitive awards process to provide
technical assistance, training, and
support to the 54 SMP program grantees
on a nationwide basis. Through this
cooperative agreement, the Center
develops the tools, materials, website,
expertise, resources and training
activities to assist SMP projects in
fulfilling their mission of educating
seniors to prevent healthcare fraud.
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.

Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork
Reduction Act Review
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) publishes a list of
information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance
Officer at (404) 639–5960 or send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of
Management and Budget, Washington,

Written comments should be received
within 30 days of this notice.
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

41261
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 134 / Wednesday, July 13, 2011 / Notices
stated as The Green Housing Study:
Environmental Health Impacts on
Women and Children in Low-income
Multifamily Housing); however, the
goals remain the same. These goals will
be accomplished in ongoing building
renovation programs sponsored by the
Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD). In partnership
with HUD, the CDC will leverage
opportunities to collect survey and
biomarker data from residents and to
collect environmental measurements in
homes in order to evaluate associations
between green housing and health.
Participants will include children
with asthma and their mothers/primary
caregiver living in HUD-subsidized
housing that has either received a green
renovation or is a comparison home
(i.e., no renovation) from thirteen study
sites across the United States. The
following are eligible for the study: 1)
832 children (age 7–12 years with
asthma and 2) 832 mothers/primary
caregivers. Children with asthma (ages
7–12 years) will donate blood samples
(for assessment of allergy) and urine
samples (for assessment of pesticide and
VOC exposures). The children with
asthma (ages 7–12 years) will be also
tested for lung function and lung
inflammatory markers, and nasal and
throat swabs samples will be collected
to assess for acute respiratory infections.
The length of follow-up is one year.
Questionnaires regarding home
characteristics and respiratory
symptoms of the children will be
administered at 1- to 6-month intervals.
Environmental sampling of the air
and dust in the participants’ homes will
be conducted over a 1-year period (once
in the home before rehabilitation
(baseline I), and then at three time
points after rehabilitation has been
completed: Baseline II, 6 months, and
12 months). Environmental sampling
includes measurements of air exchange
rate, pesticides, VOCs, indoor allergens,
fungi, temperature, humidity, and
particulate matter.
To obtain sufficient statistical power,
approximately 1000 adults (mothers/
primary caregivers) will complete the
screening forms. We assume after
screening, some will not be eligible (an
estimate of roughly 17%). Therefore, we
will recruit 832 asthmatic children (age
7–12 years) and their mothers/primary
caregivers. In summary, expected
overall response rate could range from
69%–86% for the eligible participants
in the study from screening through the
end of data collection. The number and
type of respondents that will complete
the questionnaires are 832 mothers/
primary caregivers of enrolled children
with asthma (ages 7–12 years). All
health and environmental exposure
information about children will be
provided by their mothers/primary
caregivers (i.e., no children will fill out
questionnaires).
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time to participate in
the study. The total estimated annual
burden hours equals 2356.
