Notice of Partnership Initiative

Pursuant to Title XVII of the Public

Health Service Act, notice is hereby

given that the Office of Disease

Prevention and Health Promotion,

Office of Public Health and Science, is

seeking partnerships with non-Federal

organizations to promote, distribute and

encourage the implementation of ‘‘Put

Prevention into Practice.’’ ‘‘Put

Prevention into Practice’’ is a systembased approach to implementing the

recommendations of the United States

Preventive Services Task Force,

targeting patients, clinicians, and

medical offices. The goal is to increase

the impact of ‘‘Put Prevention into

Practice’’ by forming partnerships with

private sector organizations. These

cooperative efforts are intended to bring

the resources of several partners to bear

on the implementation of clinical

preventive services guidelines and on

the efforts to increase the delivery of

appropriate clinical preventive services,

efforts that are too complex for any one

organization to handle alone.

Organizations with particular

experience, expertise or interest in the

development, marketing and

distribution of prevention-related

materials to the general public,

professional organizations and managed

care organizations will be well-aligned

with current and planned initiatives of

‘‘Put Prevention into Practice’’

activities.

Note: Partnerships between ODPHP and

outside organizations will be formalized

through Memorandum of Agreements and

will not involve grants or contracts.

Date of Effectiveness: February 19,

1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

The information collection is needed

to establish whether an applicant is

eligible to receive services under the

Housing Improvement Program (HIP)

and to establish the priority order in

which eligible applicants may receive

services under the program.

II. Method of Collection

The housing regulations at 25 CFR

Part 256 contain the program eligibility

and selection criteria (§ 256.6, .7) which

prospective applicants seeking program

services must demonstrate that they

meet. Information collected from

applicants under these regulations

provides eligibility and selection data

used by the local servicing housing

office to establish whether an applicant

is eligible to receive services under the

program and in what priority order the

applicants are eligible to receive

services. The local servicing housing

office may be a tribal housing office

under a Public Law 93–638, Indian SelfDetermination contract or a SelfGovernance annual funding agreement,

or the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Additionally, the data is used by the

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs to

establish whether a request for waiver of

a specific housing regulation is in the

best interest of the applicant and the

Federal government.
