FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
Under Federal contracts requiring that
equipment (e.g., pumps, fans,
generators, chillers, etc.) be installed in
a project, the Government must
determine that the equipment meets the
contract requirements. Therefore, the
contractor must submit sufficient data
on the particular equipment to allow the
Government to analyze the item.
The Government uses the submitted
data to determine whether or not the
equipment meets the contract
requirements in the categories of
performance, construction, and
durability. This data is placed in the
contract file and used during the
inspection of the equipment when it
arrives on the project and when it is
made operable.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 3,160.
Responses Per Respondent: 1.5.
Annual Responses: 4,740.
Hours Per Response: .25.
Total Burden Hours: 1,185.

(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 was
signed into law on February 17, 2009,
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Public Law 11–5 (‘‘Recovery Act’’). The
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has developed an
initiative in response to ARRA—the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (ACA)—that is helping to reorient
the U.S. health care system from
primarily treating disease to promoting
population health and well-being. The
ACA created a new Prevention and
Public Health Fund designed to expand
and sustain the necessary infrastructure
to prevent disease, detect it early, and
manage conditions before they become
severe. Section 4002 of the ACA
authorized the Community
Transformation Grants (CTG) program to
promote the development of healthier
communities through strategies
designed to reduce chronic disease
rates, prevent the development of
secondary conditions, reduce health
disparities, and develop a stronger
evidence base for effective prevention
programming.
In September 2011, CDC funded 61
CTG cooperative agreements with state,
local and tribal government agencies,
and nonprofit organizations. Twenty-six
awardees are focused on capacity
building efforts, and 35 awardees are
working to implement sustainable,
broad, evidence- and practice-based
policy, environmental, programmatic
and infrastructure changes to improve
public health. Each CTG
implementation awardee is developing a
work plan for its jurisdiction or service
area that focuses on one or more of the
following five strategic directions: (1)
Tobacco-free living, (2) active lifestyles
and healthy eating, (3) high impact
evidence-based clinical and other
preventive services, (4) social and
emotional well-being, and (5) healthy
and safe physical environments.
As part of a multi-component
evaluation plan for the CTG program,
CDC is seeking OMB approval to collect
the information needed to conduct cost
and cost-benefit analyses relating to the
implementation of CTG-funded
community interventions. Using a
system dynamics approach, CDC also
plans to conduct simulation modeling
which will integrate the cost data with
other data to predict selected chronic
disease outcomes and their associated
monetary impacts under various
scenarios. CDC and NIH have previously
collaborated on the development of
analytic tools for system dynamics
modeling under more limited
conditions. The collection and analysis
of actual cost data from CTG awardees
will support the expansion and
refinement of these analytic tools with
respect to short-, intermediate- and
long-term outcomes for large-scale,

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 237 / Friday, December 9, 2011 / Notices
community-based programs that employ
multiple policy and environmental
change strategies.
Information to be collected from
participating CTG awardees includes
the interventions to be implemented;
expenditures for labor, personnel,
consultants, materials, travel, services,
and administration; in-kind
contributions; and partner organizations
and their expenditures. Information will
be collected electronically via a userfriendly, Web-based CTG Cost Study
Instrument (CTG–CSI). Respondents
will be a subset of 30 out of 35 CTG
awardees funded specifically for
implementation activities. CDC will
select awardees for participation in the
cost data collection based on a list of
priority interventions appropriate for
cost analysis.
Results of this data collection and
planned analyses, including
improvements in CDC’s analytic and
modeling tools, will be used to assist
CTG awardees, CDC, and HHS in
choosing intervention approaches for
particular populations that are both
beneficial to public health and costeffective.
OMB approval is requested for the
first three years of a five-year project
with first data collection beginning
approximately July 2012. CDC plans to
seek an extension of OMB approval to
support information collection through
the end of the five-year award period.
Information will be collected
electronically on a quarterly schedule.
The estimated burden per response is 11
hours and there are no costs to
respondents except their time to
participate in the survey.

Description: The LIHEAP leveraging
incentive program rewards LIHEAP
grantees that have leveraged non-federal
home energy resources for low-income
households. The LIHEAP leveraging
report is the application for leveraging
incentive funds that these LIHEAP
grantees submit to the Department of
Health and Human Services for each
fiscal year in which they leverage
countable resources. Participation in the
leveraging incentive program is
voluntary and is described at 45 CFR
96.87. The LIHEAP leveraging report
obtains information on the resources
leveraged by LIHEAP grantees each
fiscal year (as cash, discounts, waivers,
and in-kind); the benefits provided to
low-income households by these

resources (for example, as fuel and

HHS needs this information in order
to carry out statutory requirements for
administering the LIHEAP leveraging
incentive program, to determine
countability and valuation of grantees
leveraged non-federal home energy
resources, and to determine grantees
shares of leveraging incentive funds.
HHS proposes to request a three-year
extension of OMB approval for the
currently approved LIHEAP leveraging
report information collection.
