Non-Competitive One-Year Extension With Funds for Black Lung/Coal
Miner Clinics Program (H37) Current Grantee

AGENCY: Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: HRSA will be issuing a non-competitive one-year extension with
funds for the Black Lung/Coal Miner Clinics Program awards to the
current grantees (included in attached chart), in amounts between
$299,000 and $1.5 million over the one-year extension project period.
The level of support is at the same annual rate that was authorized in
fiscal year (FY) 2012. The Black Lung/Coal Miner Clinics Program
supports projects that seek to prevent, monitor, and treat pulmonary
and respiratory diseases in active and inactive miners. This extension
with funds will allow the Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) to
reassess the priorities and scope of the program. The extension will
also allow for greater pre-application technical assistance and
opportunity to ensure funding levels can adequately address target
population needs in various parts of the country.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Grantees of record and intended award
amounts are included below.
Amount of the Award(s): Each of the current grantees will receive
support at the same annual rate that was authorized in FY 2012: between
$299,000 and $1.5 million.

CFDA Number: 93.965.

Current Project Period: 7/1/2010 through 6/30/2013.
Period of Additional Funding: 7/1/2013 through 6/30/2014.

Authority: Sec. 427(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act
of 1977, as amended, (30 U.S.C. 937)

Justification: HRSA is extending funding for the Black Lung/Coal
Miner Clinics Program grants by one year for the following reasons:
recent information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (CDC/NIOSH)
indicates that the prevalence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP),
also known as black lung disease, is rising. In fact, a recent study of
2,000 coal miners from Utah to Pennsylvania showed five times as many
miners have CWP than ten years ago. Many miners are developing severe
CWP before 50 years of age, and there is some evidence that this is
being manifested as premature mortality. In addition, data from the
U.S. Department of Labor show the number of federal black lung benefits
claims has increased, suggesting that the disease is also leading to
increased significant, long-term disability.
This extension will allow the ORHP to consult providers, experts,
and federal partners to thoroughly reassess the priorities and scope of
the current program, while taking into account regulatory requirements.
It will also provide an opportunity to ensure funding levels as well as
program resources are most effectively coordinated with other federal
efforts to address growing target population needs.
