Proposed Project
APPLETREE Performance Measures—
New—Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR)
Background and Brief Description
The Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) serves the
public through responsive public health
actions to promote healthy and safe
environments and to prevent harmful
exposures in communities across the
nation. ATSDR’s Partnership to Promote
Local Efforts to Reduce Environmental
Exposure (APPLETREE) Program is
critical to ATSDR’s success in this
mission. The purpose of the program is
to: (1) Identify pathways of exposure to
hazardous substances at hazardous
waste sites and releases; (2) identify,
implement, and coordinate public
health interventions to reduce
exposures to hazardous substances
which occur at levels of health concern;
and (3) provide training at the state level
to promote and achieve the safe siting
of child care facilities in the United
States. The APPLETREE Program is also
a mechanism which enhances ATSDR’s
communication with state, local, and
federal health and environmental
agencies. This program is authorized
under sections 104(i)(15) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 [42
U.S.C. 9604(i)(15)].
Under the new three-year
APPLETREE cooperative agreement
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
17837
(Funding Opportunity Announcement
No. CDC–RFA–TS17–1701), eligible
applicants include federally recognized
American Indian/Alaska Native tribal
governments; American Indian/Alaska
native tribally designated organizations;
political subdivisions of states (in
consultation with states); and state and
local governments or their bona fide
agents. ATSDR technical project officers
(TPOs) will assist approximately 25
APPLETREE awardees to address sitespecific issues involving human
exposure to hazardous substances. Key
capacities include identification of
human exposure pathways at ATSDR
sites, education of affected communities
and local health professionals about site
contamination and potential health
effects; making appropriate
recommendations to prevent exposure;
reviewing health outcome data to
evaluate potential links between site
contaminants and community health;
and documenting the effects of
environmental remediation on health.
ATSDR will collect information
related to awardee activities, and the
process and outcome performance
measures outlined by the cooperative
agreement program. Information will be
used to monitor progress toward
program goals and objectives, and for
program quality improvement.
ATSDR Health Education Activity
Tracking (HEAT) Form: For each
environmental health assessment and
health education activity conducted at
ATSDR sites, APPLETREE awardees
must quantitatively assess and report
efforts to educate community members
about site recommendations and health
risks using indicators to assess
community understanding of site
findings about health risks and
community understanding of agency
recommendations to reduce health risks.
This information will be entered in the
ATSDR HEAT system for each activity
at ATSDR sites. Based on past
experience, ATSDR assumes a
maximum of 925 activities will be
entered into the HEAT database each
year; therefore, each of the 25 awardees
will enter an average of 37 activities into
the HEAT database.
ATSDR Technical Assistance (TA)
Activity Form: Throughout the budget
year, this form is used to record the
routine requests made of the awardees
and their program responses. These
responses do not evaluate
environmental data and do not make
health calls. They are not reviewed and
cleared through ATSDR clearance
processes but are monitored by ATSDR
as part of the awardees’ performance.
ATSDR anticipates each awardee will
E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM
13APN1
17838
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 70 / Thursday, April 13, 2017 / Notices
report an average of 15 TA requests per
year.
ATSDR Site Impact Assessment (SIA)
Form: For each environmental health
assessment and health education
activity conducted at ATSDR sites,
awardees must estimate and report the
number of people protected from
exposure to toxic substances at each site
where implementation of agency
recommendations has taken place and at
each child care center where safe siting
guidelines have been implemented. To
the extent possible, awardees must
estimate the disease burden prevented
due to the implementation of site
recommendations and safe siting
guidelines. This information will be
entered into the ATSDR SIA database by
the awardee. ATSDR assumes a
maximum of 150 ATSDR sites will
undergo an environmental assessment,
or an average of six sites per awardee,
per year.
APPLETREE Annual Performance
Report (APR): At the end of each budget
year, awardees must provide an APR,
including an updated Annual Plan of
Work (APOW) for the next budget year.
The report must include a synopsis of
the number of people involved in
environmental health assessments at
sites, the number of public health
recommendations accepted, the number
of health education activities conducted
at sites; and the outcomes achieved
during the budget year. The APR must
also demonstrate annual progress in
implementing child care safe siting
policies in their jurisdictions over the
three-year program period. ATSDR
assumes that APRs will take three
burden hours for each awardee to
prepare.
ATSDR Success Story Form: By the
end of the budget year, each awardee
must also submit a minimum of three
success stories to highlight the
programs’ annual accomplishments.
ATSDR estimates that awardees will
submit an average of four success stories
which will take one hour each to
prepare.
ATSDR seeks a three-year information
collection clearance. Awardee reporting
is a mandatory requirement of the
APPLETREE cooperative agreement.
The total annual time burden requested
is 272 hours.
