Proposed Project 

Healthy Homes and Lead Poisoning 

Prevention Surveillance System 

(HHLPPSS)(OMB Control No. 0920– 

0931, Expiration April 30, 2015)— 

Extension—National Center for 

Environmental Health (NCEH) and 

Agency for Toxic Substances and 

Disease Registry (ATSDR), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The overarching goal of the Healthy 

Homes and Lead Poisoning Prevention 

Surveillance System (HHLPPSS) is to 

support healthy homes surveillance 

activities at the state and national levels. 

HHLPSS is not a research study; rather 

it is a systematic assessment of 

programmatic activities under the 

healthy homes cooperative agreement. 

CDC is requesting a three-year extension 

of Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval for up to 40 local and 

state Healthy Homes Childhood Lead 

Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPP) 

and the state-based Adult Blood Lead 

Epidemiology and Surveillance (ABLES) 

programs. The programs will continue 

to report information (e.g., presence of 

lead paint, age of housing, occupation of 

adults and type of housing) via 

encrypted files and submit, 

electronically, to HHLPPB staff at CDC. 

The electronic files will be kept in 

accordance with CDC Records Control 

Schedules. 

Over the last three years, 7 states have 

adopted the HHLPPSS and 13 are in 

beta-testing. In October 2014, CDC 

began funding 40 state and local blood 

lead surveillance programs. Many of 

these programs and their subcontractors 

at the local level will come on line with 

HHLPPSS in the next year. 

The objectives for this surveillance 

system are two-fold. First, the HHLPPSS 

allows CDC to systematically track how 

the state and local programs conduct 

case management and follow-up of 

residents with housing-related 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 that are related to 

common housing deficiencies. Multiple 

hazards in housing (e.g., mold, vermin, 

radon and the lack of safety devices) 

continue to adversely affect the health 

of residents. HHLPPSS offers a 

coordinated, comprehensive, and 

systematic public health approach to 

eliminate multiple housing-related 

health hazards. 

HHLPPSS 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, HHLPPSS 

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 

annual burden hours are 640.

Title: Refugee Microenterprise and 

Refugee Home-Based Child Care 

Microenterprise Development Programs 

OMB No.: 0970 

Description: The Office of Refugee 

Resettlement (ORR) within the 

Administration for Children and 

families (ACF) is responsible for 

resettling thousands of refugees every 

year from all over the world. The main 

goal of the ORR (US) refugee domestic 

resettlement program is to assist the 

refugees in becoming self-reliant at the 

shortest time possible. ORR has many 

different discretionary grants that it 

employs to accomplish this goal. Two of 

the discretionary grants are the Refugee 

Microenterprise Development (MED) 

and the Refugee Home-Based Child Care 

Microenterprise Development (HBCC 

MED) Programs. The goals of the MED 

program are to assist refugees in 

becoming economically self-sufficient, 

assist refugee serving organizations 

galvanize resources to strengthen their 

capacities to expand and continue their 

microenterprise services at an expanded 

and sustainable level, and enhance the 

integration to the mainstream and 

realize the American Dream. The focus 

of the HBCC Program is on women that 

have limited opportunity to get 

employment at livable wages because of 

limited transferable skills and lack of 

knowledge of the English language. 

Through the program women refugees 

are provided basic training in child care 

and development, state and local legal 

requirements to get a license and to 

establish a home-based child care 

service. The ultimate goal of the 

program is to enable the women 

refugees establish a home-based child 

care service in their neighborhood. 

ORR works with nonprofit 

organizations in implementing these 

projects. Currently, there are 22 projects 

in the Refugee Microenterprise 

Development Program and 23 projects 

in the Refugee Home-Based Child Care 

Microenterprise Development Program. 

It is critical to collect data through a 

semi-annual report in order to 

determine whether or not the programs 

are achieving their intended goals, to 

address concerns, issues, and challenges

Title: Office of Refugee Resettlement 

Individual Development Accounts (ORR 

IDA) Program. 

OMB No.: New Collection. 

Description: The Office of Refugee 

Resettlement seeks OMB approval to 

develop three data collection tools for 

use in the ORR IDA Program. 

The ORR IDA Program represents an 

anti-poverty strategy built on asset 

accumulation for low-income refugee 

individuals and families with the goal of 

promoting refugee economic 

independence. 

IDAs are leveraged or matched, 

savings accounts. In the ORR Refugee 

IDA program, IDAs are matched with 

federal funds that have been allocated as 

‘‘match funds’’ from at least 65 percent 

of the annual federal grant award. IDAs 

are established in insured accounts in 

qualified financial institutions. The 

funds are intended for the Asset Goals 

specified in this announcement. 

Although the refugee participant 

maintains control of all funds that the 

participant deposits in the IDA, 

including all interest that may accrue on 

the funds, the participant must sign a 

Savings Plan Agreement which specifies 

that the funds in the account will be 

used only for the participant’s qualified 

Asset Goal(s) or for an emergency 

withdrawal. 

The objectives of this program are to: 

1. Establish IDAs for eligible 

participants; 

2. Encourage regular saving habits 

among refugees; 

3. Promote their participation in the 

financial institutions of this country; 

4. Promote refugee acquisition of 

assets to build individual, family, and 

community resources; 

5. Increase refugee knowledge of 

financial and monetary topics including 

developing a household budget; 

6. Assist refugees in advancing their 

education; 

7. Increase home ownership among 

refugees; and 

8. Assist refugees in gaining access to 

capital. 

The tools will collect information 

from grantees that will help ORR 

determine whether they are meeting the 

objectives of the program. Data to be 

collected will only include specialized, 

and relevant information to the program 

such as, number of people enrolled, 

amount in dollar allocated for matching 

IDA savings, number and value of assets 

purchased, confirmation of refugee 

status, and types and quantity of 

training provided. Tools will be used for 

semi-annual reports as well as for 

monitoring to ensure progress towards 

success, and appropriate use of federal 

funds.
