G. Other Comments 

Comments: One commenter suggested 

that a Tribe should be able to have a 

Family Preservation grant concurrent 

with a SEDS grant and another 

commenter stated that the proposed 

changes will improve the ANA program 

and its effectiveness in the target 

communities. 

Responses: The first comment was not 

addressed by any changes identified in 

the NOPC; therefore, ANA declines to 

respond to the comment. ANA agrees 

with the second comment. ANA’s 

program mission is to promote selfsufficiency and cultural preservation for 

Native Americans by providing social 

and economic development 

opportunities through financial 

assistance, training, and technical 

assistance to eligible Tribes and Native 

American communities, including 

American Indian, Alaska Native, Native 

Hawaiian, and other Native Pacific 

Islander organizations. ANA recognizes 

that to better address its mission, a 

simplified funding structure that 

reaches more of ANA’s target 

communities is needed. The changes to 

the FY 2010 FOAs were developed to 

that end. 

The 2010 FOAs will be published on 

the ANA Web site at 

http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ana// 

programs/ 

program_announcements.html and at

Proposed Project 

Case Studies of Communities and 

States Funded under Community 

Activities under the Communities 

Putting Prevention to Work Initiative— 

New—National Center for Chronic 

Disease Prevention and Health 

Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC) is the primary Federal 

agency for protecting health and 

promoting quality of life through the 

prevention and control of disease, 

injury, and disability. CDC is committed 

to programs that reduce the health and 

economic consequences of the leading 

causes of death and disability, thereby 

ensuring a long, productive, healthy life 

for all people. 

Chronic diseases such as cancer, heart 

disease, and diabetes are among the 

leading causes of death and disability in 

the United States. Chronic diseases 

account for 70% of all deaths in the 

U.S., and cause major limitations in 

daily living for almost one out of 10 

Americans. Although chronic diseases 

are among the most common and costly 

health problems, they are also among 

the most preventable. Adopting healthy 

behaviors such as eating nutritious 

foods, being physically active and 

avoiding tobacco use can prevent or 

control the devastating effects of these 

diseases. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the 

‘‘Recovery Act’’) allotted $650 million to 

the Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) to support evidencebased prevention and wellness 

strategies. The cornerstone of the 

initiative is the Communities Putting 

Prevention to Work (CPPW) Community 

Program, administered by the Centers 

for Disease Control and Prevention 

(CDC). Through this program, all states 

and territories, and approximately 35– 

45 communities, will receive 

cooperative agreement funding to 

implement evidence-based community 

approaches to chronic disease 

prevention over a 24-month period. 

Funded recipients will work with 

partners such as local and state health 

departments and other governmental 

agencies, health centers, schools, 

businesses, community and faith-based 

organizations, academic institutions, 

health care, mental health/substance 

abuse organizations, health plans, and 

others to create policies, systems, and 

environments that promote: (1) 

increased levels of physical activity, 

improved nutrition, and decreased 

prevalence of overweight/obesity; and 

(2) decreased tobacco use and decreased 

exposure to secondhand smoke. Each 

CPPW-funded state or community will 

choose to emphasize prevention 

objectives related to physical activity 

and nutrition, or tobacco. Toward that 

end, each funded recipient has selected 

strategies for implementing change from 

each of five categories involving media, 

access, price, point of purchase 

decision, and support services 

(MAPPS). Applicants for CPPW funding 

selected their approaches from a 

reference set of evidence-based 

strategies provided by CDC. 

CDC proposes to collect information 

from a subset of CPPW awardees to gain 

insight into the factors and variables 

that facilitate or hinder the successful 

implementation of these strategies and 

the effective creation of the desired 

policy, system, and environmental 

changes. CDC plans to conduct 

intensive case studies of six CPPWfunded states and 15 CPPW-funded 

communities. The case study sites will 

be selected to include a mix of state or 

community characteristics related to 

population density, geographic region, 

and targeted population. Case study 

information will be collected by 

conducting personal interviews with 

approximately 20 key informants at 

each of the 21 CPPW-funded sites. 

Respondents at each site will include 

project management (5), project staff (5), 

community partners (5), and policy 

makers/community decision makers (5). 

Information will be collected at the 

beginning of the CPPW funding period 

and again approximately 18 months 

post-award. OMB approval is requested 

for two years. 

The proposed information collection 

is one component of a larger evaluation

11184 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 46 / Wednesday, March 10, 2010 / Notices 

plan for states and communities that 

receive Recovery Act funding through 

the CPPW initiative. Participation is 

required as a condition of receiving the 

cooperative agreement. 

The case study information to be 

collected will assist the Federal 

government, state and local 

governments, and communities in 

planning future strategies designed to 

promote sustainable policy, systems and 

environmental changes that improve 

public health. Understanding the key 

variables and contextual factors that 

inhibit or accelerate successful 

implementation of these strategies will 

allow states and communities to 

anticipate such issues in advance, adapt 

their environment and context so it is 

more supportive, or choose only 

strategies that seem to map well to their 

current environment and context. As a 

result of the CPPW program, powerful 

models of success are expected to 

emerge that can be replicated in other 

states and communities. 

The long-term goals of the CPPW are 

to modify the environmental 

determinants of risk factors for chronic 

diseases, prevent or delay chronic 

diseases, promote wellness in children 

and adults, and provide positive, 

sustainable health change in 

communities. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

Proposed Project 

Increasing Adoption of CROPS by 

Farmers and Manufactures, New— 

National Institute for Occupational 

Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

There was an average of 200 tractorrelated fatalities annually between 1992 

and 2005 in the US, with tractor 

overturns accounting for 1,412 of these 

deaths. The majority could have been 

prevented with the use of a rollover 

protective structure (ROPS). It is 

estimated that about half of the 4.8 

million tractors in the United States 

currently do not have ROPS installed. 

Earlier research indicated that adoption 

of retrofit ROPS technology for older 

tractors is impeded by the costs, 

complexity of this modification, 

usability and storage of the tractor after 

the retrofitting (installation), of a ROPS. 

To overcome these barriers, NIOSH 

designed a prototype of a cost-effective 

roll over protective structure (CROPS). 

Projected retrofit costs for CROPS are 

$800, compared to $1,200-$2,500 for 

ROPS; and the installation complexity is 

significantly reduced. NIOSH has 

CROPS prototype designs for five 

tractors: Ford 3000 series, Ford 4000 

series, Ford 8N, Ford 4600 and MasseyFerguson 135. However, this technology 

has not been transferred to the 

agricultural workplace, suggesting that 

the barriers to adoption and 

implementation are much more 

complex than previously believed. 

With the assistance of State partners, 

the project will identify the study 

population—farmers in two selected 

States who use tractors for which a 

CROPS prototype has been developed 

by NIOSH. From this group of farmers 

a subset of farmers from the study 

population will be selected (18 in each 

State for a total of 36) to receive a 

CROPS at no charge. Each farmer will be 

asked to install the CROPS and provide 

an initial assessment of their perception 

of the utility and value of the device and 

allow others to observe the retrofit 

process. New York and Virginia were 

selected as States because of their high 

number of tractor roll over fatalities and 

established relationships with NIOSH, 

its partners, and access to farming 

communities. The State partners will 

schedule and arrange 18 demonstration 

projects within their respective States 

for a total of 36 tractor retrofit 

demonstrations. Attendance at these 

events is anticipated to be 

demonstrators, observers, community 

leaders and fabricators and is strictly 

voluntary. It is anticipated to have a 

minimum of 10 attendees identified and 

secured for each of the 36 

demonstration projects. These attendees 

will be invited to observe installation of 

CROPS in the field and queried on their 

perception of the utility and value of the 

design. This will help identify barriers 

from and approaches for stimulating 

farmers to retrofit their tractors with 

Cost-Effective Roll-Over Protection 

Structures (CROPS) using stakeholder 

input. The surveys are expected to take 

about 15 minutes to complete. 

There are no costs to the respondents 

other than their time. The total 

estimated annual burden hours are 753.
