consensus recommendations, under the
Better Respiratory Equipment using
Advanced Technologies for Healthcare
Employees project (Project BREATHE),
to improve respiratory protective
equipment used by healthcare workers.
These earlier consensus
recommendations will be modified as
NIOSH develops the consensus
recommendations for the project New
Generation PAPRs.
This project seeks to improve
respirator tolerability, comfort, and
other functional characteristics, while
maintaining a level of protection
equivalent to or greater than current
standards. The design changes
contemplated in this project could
increase compliance with respiratory
protection guidelines and standards
among healthcare workers.

U.S. Southern Border. Planning for
increased shelter capacity is a prudent
step to ensure that ORR is able to meet
its responsibility, by law, to provide
shelter for Unaccompanied Alien
Children referred to its care by the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS).
To ensure sufficient capacity to
provide shelter to unaccompanied alien
children referred to HHS, ORR is
requesting that BCFS provide up to
1,300 temporary shelter beds at Carrizo
Springs, Texas over a graduated
timeframe.
DATES: Supplemental award funds will
support activities until January 31,
2020. The first installment will support
activities for 60 days.

acf.hhs.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ORR is
continuously monitoring its capacity to
shelter the unaccompanied alien
children referred to HHS, as well as the
information received from interagency
partners, to inform any future decisions
or actions.
ORR has specific requirements for the
provision of services. Award recipients
must have the infrastructure, licensing,
experience, and appropriate level of
trained staff to meet those requirements.
The expansion of the existing program
and its services through this
supplemental award is a key strategy for
ORR to be prepared to meet its
responsibility to provide shelter for
Unaccompanied Alien Children referred
to its care by DHS and so that the U.S.
Border Patrol can continue its vital
national security mission to prevent
illegal migration, trafficking, and protect
the borders of the United States.
Statutory Authority: This program is
authorized by—
(A) Section 462 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, which in March
2003, transferred responsibility for the
care and custody of Unaccompanied
Alien Children from the Commissioner
of the former Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) to the
Director of ORR of the Department of
Health and Human Services (HHS).
(B) The Flores Settlement Agreement,
Case No. CV85–4544RJK (C.D. Cal.
1996), as well as the William
Wilberforce Trafficking Victims
Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008
(Pub. L. 110–457), which authorizes
post release services under certain

regulations and ORR policies and
procedures.

Administration for Community Living
Intent To Award a Single-Source
Supplement for the National Center for
Benefits Outreach and Enrollment
ACTION:
Notice.
The Administration for Community
Living (ACL) announces the intent to
award a single-source supplemental to
the current cooperative agreement held
by the National Council on Aging
(NCOA) for the National Center for
Benefits Outreach and Enrollment
(NCBOE). The purpose of the NCBOE is
to provide technical assistance to states,
area agencies on aging, and service
providers to provide outreach and lowincome benefits enrollment assistance,
particularly to older individuals with
greatest economic need for federal and
state programs. The administrative
supplement for FY 2019 will be for
$390,861, bringing the total award for
FY 2019 to $11,390,861. With this
supplemental funding, NCOA will
develop specialized training and tools
around integrated care models that can
be used by SHIPs, MIPPA grantees, and
other partners of ACL like Centers for
Independent Living (CILs) and the
Aging and Disability Resource Centers
(ADRCs) to expand the NCBOE’s
outreach and education efforts targeting
older adults with the greatest economic
need. This includes reaching out to
current MIPPA grantees to evaluate their
needs and to determine what the
grantees believe would be helpful and
conducting other stakeholder group
meeting(s) to discuss what should be
created around these integrated care
models. Stakeholders could include
MIPPA and other ACL grantees, health
plans, CMS, and other non-federal
partners. Additionally, NCOA will
continue, expand, and complete the
work they are currently undertaking
with the NCBOE award without
disrupting services.

Recipient: National Council on Aging
(NCOA).
Period of Performance: The award
will be issued for the current project
period of September 30, 2017 through
September 29, 2020.
Total Award Amount: $11,390,861 in
FY 2019.
Award Type: Cooperative Agreement
Supplement.

Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Affordable
Care Act), reauthorized by the American
Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) and
reauthorized by section 110 of the
Protecting Access to Medicare Act of
2014.
Basis for Award: The National
Council on Aging (NCOA) is currently
funded to carry out the NCBOE Project
for the period of September 30, 2017
through September 29, 2020. Much
work has already been completed and
further tasks are currently being
accomplished. It would be
unnecessarily time consuming and
disruptive to the NCBOE project and the
beneficiaries being served for the ACL to
establish a new grantee at this time
when critical services are presently
being provided in an efficient manner.
The NCOA is uniquely placed to
complete the work under the NCBOE
grant. Since 2001, the NCOA has been
the national leader in improving
benefits access to vulnerable older
adults. They have an unparalleled
history of working with community
based organizations to develop and
replicate outreach and enrollment
solutions, while maintaining and
enhancing technology to make it easier
and more efficient to find benefits. The
NCOA through NCBOE accomplishes its
mission by developing and sharing
tools, resources, best practices, and
strategies for benefits outreach and
enrollment via its online clearinghouse,
electronic and print publications,
webinars, and training and technical
assistance.
In addition, the NCOA has the
BenefitsCheckUp which is, by far, the
nation’s most comprehensive and
widely-used web-based service that
screens older and disabled adults with
limited incomes and resources and
informs them about public and private
benefits for which they are very likely
to be eligible. Since the
BenefitsCheckUp was launched in 2001,
over 7.6 million individuals have been

assisted to identify over $29.6 billion in
potential annual benefits. In addition to
a focus on Low-Income Subsidy and
Medicare Savings Programs, the
BenefitsCheckUp also includes more
than 2,500 benefits programs from all 50
states and DC, including the addition of
Medicaid expansion programs as part of
Affordable Care Act; over 50,000 local
offices for people to apply for benefits;
nearly 2,000 application forms in every
language in which they are available;
and user-friendly mapping tools that
allow streamlined access to program fact
sheets and application forms based
upon a person’s locality.
NCOA is successfully meeting all
programmatic goals under the current
NCBOE grant.
