Notice of Single Source Award to the
Genesee County Health Department for
Addressing and Preventing Lead
Exposure Through Healthy Start in
Genesee County, Michigan
Health Resources and Services
Administration, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of single source award.
AGENCY:
HRSA announces its intent to
award up to $14,975,000 for a
cooperative agreement to the Genesee
County Health Department, which
operates the Genesee County Healthy
Start program. The purpose of this
cooperative agreement is to expedite
and strengthen the ongoing response to
address the health effects of lead
exposure resulting from the Flint, MI,
public water supply contamination.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Intended Recipient of the Award:
Genesee County Health Department.
Amount of Non-Competitive Awards:
Up to $14,975,000.
Period of Funding: July 1, 2017–June
30, 2022.
CFDA Number: 93.926.
Authority: Water Infrastructure
Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act
(Pub. L. 114–322); Section 330H of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
254c–8), as amended by Public Law

Continuing and Security Assistance
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Appropriations Act, 2017 (Pub. L. 114–
254).
Justification: Flint, MI, and the
surrounding community continues to
experience ongoing health needs,
particularly among pregnant women
and young children, associated with
elevated levels of lead in the public
water supply resulting from the city’s
switch from the Detroit Water Authority
to the Flint Water Systems between
April 2013 and October 2015.
On January 5, 2016, the state of
Michigan declared a state of emergency
for Genesee County, which includes the
city of Flint, authorizing the use of state
resources to address the public health
crisis created by the elevated levels of
lead in the public water system. On
January 16, 2016, a federal emergency
was declared for the state of Michigan
and authorized federal assistance to
provide water, water filters, water filter
cartridges, water test kits, and other
necessary related items.
Prenatal lead exposure can affect
fertility, the likelihood of miscarriage,
pre-term birth, low birth weight, infant
neurodevelopment, and gestational
hypertension. Of particular concern are
the long-term effects in children such as
developmental and cognitive delays,
and behavioral disorders. The Healthy
Start program aims to reduce disparities
in infant mortality and improve
perinatal and child health outcomes. To
advance this mission, the goal of this
program is to minimize developmental
delays among lead-exposed children up
to age 6 in Flint and the surrounding
Genesee County area by connecting
them to appropriate screening, services,
and supports.
Thus, HRSA intends to award a onetime, single source cooperative
agreement to the Genesee County Health
Department to expedite and strengthen
the ongoing response to address the
health effects of lead exposure resulting
from the Flint, MI, public water supply
contamination. This award will enable
the Genesee County Health Department
to continue to play a vital role in
assuring all pregnant women and
children impacted by lead
contamination in Genesee County have
access to comprehensive health and
social services. With these funds, the
Genesee County Health Department will
leverage its existing Healthy Start
infrastructure and in-depth
understanding of the maternal and child
population in Genesee County to assess,
mitigate, and provide consultation to
pregnant women and children up to age
6 that may be impacted by lead
exposure during the Flint water crisis.
Activities under this award include
identifying children in Flint and the
E:\FR\FM\07JYN1.SGM
07JYN1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 129 / Friday, July 7, 2017 / Notices
surrounding Genesee County area who
have been affected by lead exposure to
assess their receipt of recommended
services in order to minimize
developmental delay, and coordinating
access to appropriate medical,
behavioral, and developmental
screening, services, and supports for
impacted women, children, and their
families. As the only Healthy Start
grantee in the only community that had
a federal emergency declaration
concerning lead contamination in the
last year, Genesee County Healthy Start
has both the program and response
infrastructure in place to immediately
implement these enhanced activities.
This award will supplement, but not
supplant, other federal resources
currently dedicated to this effort,
including activities previously funded
under the current Healthy Start grant.
Several federal agencies, such as the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid
Services, have provided funds to
organizations in Flint and Genesee
County to support prevention,
treatment, and remediation initiatives to
address lead contamination in the
community. This award should build
upon, but not duplicate federal and
local efforts. Activities under this award
also align with existing lead response
activities and involve close
collaboration with broader community
health system organizations, families,
health professionals, local social
support and health systems,
community-based organizations, and
early childhood systems, etc. This
approach should ensure access to
family-centered and comprehensive
health and social services for all
pregnant women and children up to age
6 years and their families impacted by
lead contamination in Genesee County.

OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the
public regarding the burden estimate,
below, or any other aspect of the ICR.
DATES: Comments on this ICR must be
received no later than September 5,
2017.

Submit your request to
paperwork@hrsa.gov or mail the HRSA
Information Collection Clearance
Officer, Room 14N39, 5600 Fishers

OMB Number 0915–0343,
Reinstatement.
Abstract: HRSA is requesting
approval by OMB for reinstatement of a
previously approved collection of
information (OMB control number
0915–0343). Annually, poison control
centers (PCCs) in the U.S. manage
approximately 2.8 million calls,

providing ready and direct access to
vital public health emergency
information and response. In 2001, the
Poison Help line, a single, national tollfree phone number (800–222–1222) was
established to ensure universal access to
PCC services, 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week. The Poison Help campaign is the
only national media effort to promote
awareness and use of the national tollfree phone number. The Poison Help
campaign aims to reach a wide
audience, as individuals of all ages are
at risk for poisoning and may need to
access PCC services. The ‘‘Poison Help
General Population Survey’’ is a 10minute telephone survey designed to
assess the Poison Help campaign’s
impact among 2,000 households in the
United States. The survey is conducted
with an adult household member and
addresses topics related to the types of
individuals or organizations to contact
for information, advice, and treatment
related to a poisoning.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Survey results will be used
to guide future communication,
education, and outreach efforts and will
allow the tracking of longitudinal data
from near-identical prior surveys
conducted in 2008 and 2011. The
survey has been updated to include
questions regarding one of the Secretary
of Health and Human Service’s priority
areas, addressing the opioid crisis, and
definitively ascertain respondents’
knowledge of the Poison Help Line and
phone usage.
Likely Respondents: This study
includes two respondent groups,
individuals and households with an
adult member 18 years and older.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this Information
Collection Request are summarized in
the table below.
