Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 144 / Tuesday, July 28, 2015 / Notices
The goal of this ICR is to collect
information from awardees funded
under the Prescription Drug Overdose
Prevention for States (CDC–RFA–CE15–
1501) cooperative agreement, for
program monitoring and improvement
among funded state health departments.
Information to be collected will
provide crucial data for program
performance monitoring and budget
tracking, and provide CDC with the
capacity to respond in a timely manner
to requests for information about the
program from the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS), the White
House, Congress, and other sources.
Awardees will report progress and
activity information to CDC on an
annual schedule using an Excel-based
fillable electronic templates, prepopulated to the extent possible by CDC
information only needs to be updated
for each annual report. The same
instruments will be used for all
information collection and reporting.
CDC will use the information
collected to monitor each awardee’s
progress and to identify facilitators and
challenges to program implementation
and achievement of outcomes.
Monitoring allows CDC to determine
whether an awardee is meeting
performance and budget goals and to
make adjustments in the type and level
of technical assistance provided to
them, as needed, to support attainment
of their performance measures.
OMB approval is requested for three
years. Participation in the information
collection is required as a condition of
funding. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
staff, to be submitted via Grant
Solutions. Each awardee will submit an
Annual reporting Progress Report Tool.
The estimated burden per response is 4
hours for each Annual reporting
Progress Report Tool. In addition, each
awardee will submit an Annual
reporting Evaluation Plan Tool. The
estimated burden per response is 3
hours for each Annual reporting
Evaluation Plan Tool.
In Year 1, each awardee will have
additional burden related to initial
collection of the reporting tools. Initial
Collection Annual Progress Report Tool
is estimated to be 20 hours per response,
Initial population of the tools is a onetime activity which is annualized over
the 3 years of the information collection
request. After completing the initial
population of the tools, pertinent

Proposed Project
Examining How Local Health
Departments Can Leverage Age-Friendly
Cities Initiatives to Build Resilience in
Elderly Populations—New—Office of
Public Health Preparedness and
Response, Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Despite considerable progress in
efforts to define and build community
resilience (CR), critical gaps remain in
addressing the needs of older adults (age
60+), which is expected to rise to 25%
by 2050. Age Friendly Initiatives (AFIs),
including Senior Villages (SV) represent
a promising strategy for U.S.
communities and cities to support older
adults aging in place, and could
potentially build CR. However, few AFIs
have wholly incorporated the critical
element of emergency preparedness and

resilience. Even when these domains
have been included, there is no
evaluation of whether these efforts have
resulted in improved resilience
outcomes among seniors (e.g., greater
self-sufficiency). This study will
quantify the contribution that AFIs and
SVs have made to improving resilience
outcomes for older adults and provide
guidance to local health departments
(LHDs) for improving their engagement
with AFIs/SVs.
The Office of Public Health
Preparedness and Response proposes to
conduct a new information collection,
Examining How Local Health
Departments Can Leverage Age-Friendly
Cities Initiatives to Build Resilience in
Elderly Populations. Information
collection activities will target four
groups. Respondents will include AFI
Staff, Village Directors, LHD
Representatives, and adults aged 65+
within the AFI and SV communities.
The study will outline where current
AFIs and CR efforts align; conduct
interviews in AFIs and SVs across the
U.S. to understand relationships with
LHDs; clarify the process through which
policymakers can incorporate CR into
AFIs; survey test sites in a quasiexperimental design of AFIs currently
underway; and develop a toolkit to help
LHDs identify the need for AFIs,
evaluate and monitor AFIs ability to
improve resilience, develop effective
and efficient partnerships with AFIs to
expand AFI–LHD efforts across the U.S
to build community resilience.
OMB approval is requested for two
years. Participation in the survey is
voluntary. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annual burden hours are
302. A summary of annualized burden
hours is below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. CMS’ Imposition of Temporary
Enrollment Moratoria
Section 6401(a) of the Affordable Care
Act added a new section 1866(j)(7) to
the Social Security Act (the Act) to
provide the Secretary with authority to
impose a temporary moratorium on the
enrollment of new Medicare, Medicaid,
or CHIP providers and suppliers,
including categories of providers and
suppliers, if the Secretary determines a
moratorium is necessary to prevent or
combat fraud, waste, or abuse under
these programs. For a more detailed
explanation of these authorities, please
see the July 31, 2013 notice (78 FR
46339) or February 4, 2014 extension
and establishment of a temporary
moratoria document (hereinafter
referred to as the February 4, 2014
moratoria document or notice) (79 FR

locations 1 (hereafter referred to as

and Cook County, Illinois, as well as
surrounding counties, and part B
ambulance suppliers in Harris County,
Texas and surrounding counties, in a
notice issued on July 31, 2013 (78 FR
46339). We then exercised this authority
again in a notice published on February
4, 2014 (79 FR 6475) when we extended
the existing moratoria for an additional
6 months and expanded it to include
enrollment of HHAs in Broward County,
Florida; Dallas County, Texas; Harris
County, Texas; and Wayne County,
Michigan and surrounding counties,
and enrollment of ground ambulance
suppliers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and surrounding counties. Then, we
further extended the previously
mentioned moratoria in moratoria
documents issued on August 1, 2014 (79
FR 44702) and February 2, 2015 (80 FR
5551).
1 As noted in the preamble to the final rule
implementing the moratorium authority (February
2, 2011, CMS–6028–FC (76 FR 5870), home health
agency subunits and branch locations are subject to
the moratoria to the same extent as any other newly
enrolling home health agency.
