Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning

Control Number 0920–0931, expires 05/
31/2018)—Extension—National Center
for Environmental Health (NCEH),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The overarching goal of the Healthy
Homes and Lead Poisoning Surveillance
System (HHLPSS) is to support healthy
homes surveillance activities at the state
and national levels. CDC is requesting
an 18-month extension to collect data
from up to 40 state and local Healthy
Homes Childhood Lead Poisoning
Prevention Programs (CLPPP) and the
state-based Adult Blood Lead
Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES)
programs. The state programs will
report information (e.g., presence of lead
paint, age of housing, occupation of
adults and type of housing) to the CDC
under a one-year cost extension of the
Fiscal Year 2014 Funding Opportunity
Announcement (Funding Opportunity
Announcement Number CDC–RFA–14–
systematic public health approach to
eliminate multiple housing-related
health hazards.
HHLPSS enables flexibility to
evaluate housing where the risk for lead
poisoning is high, regardless of whether
children less than 6 years of age
currently reside there. Thus, HHLPSS
supports CDC efforts for primary
prevention of childhood and adult lead
poisoning. Over the past several
decades, there has been a remarkable
reduction in environmental sources of
lead, improved protection from
occupational lead exposure, and an
overall decreasing trend in the
prevalence of elevated blood lead levels
(BLLs) in U.S. adults. As a result, the
U.S. national BLL geometric mean
among adults was 1.2 mg/dL during
2009–2010. Nonetheless, lead exposures
continue to occur at unacceptable
levels. Current research continues to
find that BLLs previously considered
harmless can have harmful effects in
adults, such as decreased renal function
and increased risk for hypertension and
essential tremor at BLLs <10 mg/dL.
There is no cost to respondents other
than their time. The total estimated time
burden is 640 hours. There are no
changes to the requested burden hours
or the data collection.
1408) titled ‘‘(PPHF) Childhood Lead
Poisoning Prevention.’’ The 18-month
extension will allow CDC to collect data
for the third-year supplement, which
represents the fourth and final year of
awardee blood lead surveillance data
under this program announcement.
Over the last three years, seven states
have adopted the HHLPPS and 13 are in
beta-testing. Since October 2014, CDC
has funded up to 40 state and local
blood lead surveillance programs. All of
these programs or their subcontractors
at the local level are submitting lead
surveillance data for an additional year.
The objectives for this surveillance
system remain two-fold. First, the
HHLPSS allows CDC to track,
systematically, how the state and local
programs conduct case management and
follow-up of residents with housingrelated health outcomes. Second, the
system allows for identification and
collection of information on other
housing-related risk factors. Childhood
and adult lead poisoning is just one of
many adverse health conditions related
to common housing deficiencies.
Multiple hazards in housing (e.g., mold,
vermin, radon and the lack of safety
devices) continue to affect, adversely,
the health of residents. HHLPSS offers
a coordinated, comprehensive, and
