Proposed Project
Awardee Lead Profile Assessment
(ALPA)—NEW—National Center for
Environmental Health (NCEH), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) is requesting a threeyear OMB approval for a new
information collection request (ICR)
titled ‘‘Awardee Lead Profile
Assessment (ALPA).’’ The goal of this
information collection project is to
obtain program management
information from participating state and
local governments that are awardees
under the CDC Healthy Homes and Lead
Poisoning Prevention Program
(HHLPPP) FY17 Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA No. CDC–RFA–
EH17–1701PPHF17). CDC will use this

annual information collection to: (1)
Identify common characteristics of
funded childhood lead poisoning
prevention programs; and (2) inform
guidance and resource development in
support of the ultimate program goal,
which is blood lead elimination in
children.
The public dissemination of these
ALPA results will ensure that both
funded and non-funded jurisdictions are
able to: (1) Identify policies and other
factors that support or hinder childhood
lead poisoning prevention efforts; (2)
understand what strategies are being
used by funded public health agencies
to implement childhood lead poisoning
prevention activities; and (3) use this
knowledge to develop and apply similar
strategies to support the national agenda
to eliminate childhood lead poisoning.
CDC will collect this program
management information annually from
48 awardees, using two data collection
modes. We anticipate that the majority,
40 respondents, will choose the web
survey due to the ease of use, and that
8 respondents will choose the Word
format mode.
We estimate the time burden to be the
same, 7 minutes per response,
regardless of data collection mode (web
survey or Word format). This estimate is
based on a 2015 survey among 35
former awardees titled ‘‘Baseline Profile
of State and Local Healthy Homes and
Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs
(PROF–LEAD),’’ approved under the
generic clearance for ‘‘Information
Collections to Advance State, Tribal,
Local, and Territorial (STLT)
Governmental Health’’ (OMB Control
No. 0920–0879; expiration date 03/31/
2018). Based on the success of the
PROF–LEAD survey, the ALPA
questionnaire, with a few revisions, is
now proposed as an annual reporting
requirement for awardees under the
FY17 FOA.
There is no cost to the respondents
other than their time. The total annual
time burden requested is 6 hours.

Address the Impact of CMS Programs

ACTION: Notice of single source award.
AGENCY:
This notice supports
expansion of research on the impact of
CMS programs on the Indian health care
system through a single source award.
The Indian Health Service (IHS), Tribes
and Tribal Organizations and Urban
programs, deliver health care services to
American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN)
people through a network of hospitals,
clinics and other providers. This award
expands research on the impact of CMS
programs and the delivery of health care
to AI/AN beneficiaries.

Intended Recipient: National Indian
Health Board (NIHB).
Purpose of Award: The IHS and Tribal
health programs have had long standing
authority to bill Medicare and Medicaid
for services provided at their facilities.
These participating and billing
authorities were expanded by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009 (ARRA), the Children’s
Health Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA),
and the Affordable Care Act in 2010

(ACA). AI/AN people have traditionally
been medically underserved and have
health disparities significantly above
those of the population as a whole. In
order to ensure that AI/AN people have
full knowledge of these new changes
and the fullest access to CMS programs,
this award will study the adoption and
impact of these new authorities on the
Indian health care system.
Amount of the Award: The total
amount of funding available over a five
year period is $4,000,000. The initial
award will be awarded at $800,000. The
subsequent years will be awarded on a
non-competing continuation basis at
approximately $800,000 per year for a
total of 5 years, and will be subject to
the availability of funds and satisfactory
performance by the recipient.
Justification for Single Source Award:
For the past five years through a
Cooperative Agreement with CMS,
NIHB has provided analysis and
research of the potential and actual
impact of CMS programs on AI/AN
beneficiaries and the health care system
serving these beneficiaries. This work
has included analysis and research on
Medicare and Medicaid data enrollment
of AI/AN beneficiaries to understand
utilization of the AI/AN population in
the context of CMS programs. In
addition, NIHB has been instrumental in
tracking CMS regulations and providing
analysis and research to better
understand the implications of CMS
regulatory guidance on the Indian
health programs. Based on this
experience, NIHB is the only entity
capable of carrying out the scope of
activities because the scope of work
builds on past experience and
knowledge. Any other source would not
have all of the knowledge and
experience gained in the last five years.
The NIHB provides research on health
program issues impacting AI/ANs to
over 567 Federally-recognized Tribes
and has historically provided these
services for several decades in
conjunction with the IHS. The NIHB
program has a national focus relevant to
its AI/AN constituency who need to
know through substantive research
about the changes and updates in the
latest health care services and access
through CMS programs.

Provisions of the Notice: CMS has
solicited a proposal from the NIHB to
undertake analysis, research and studies
to address the impact of CMS programs
and AI/AN beneficiaries and the health
care system serving those beneficiaries.
The project consists of five principal
research objectives:
• Study the ongoing impact of CMS
programs on the Indian health system
through analysis of, response to, and
implementation of CMS regulations by
Indian health providers.
• Study AI/AN demographic,
enrollment, and utilization data and
propose strategies to increase CMS data
system capabilities to create more
Indian specific reporting capacity.
• Provide ongoing study of CMS
efforts to increase AI/AN knowledge of
CMS programs and CMS responsiveness
to Indian health system.
• Provide research support on the use
and effectiveness of the CMS Tribal
Consultation Policy.
• Evaluate the effectiveness of
outreach and enrollment efforts to AI/
AN beneficiaries in CMS programs.
CMS requested that NIHB submit an
application which includes:
1. Cover Letter.
