Proposed Project 

Assessing Problem Areas in Referrals 

for Chronic Hematologic Malignancies 

and Developing Interventions to 

Address Them—New—Division of 

Cancer Prevention and Control, National 

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention 

and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

One of the six aims of the Institute of 

Medicine’s Crossing the Quality Chasm 

report is to improve the timeliness of 

care for patients. Data from Europe and 

Canada, as well as single-site studies in 

the United States, allude to a problem 

of timely referral and diagnosis for 

patients with cancer. Despite the advent 

of new diagnostics and therapeutics for 

patients with chronic hematological 

malignancies, the size and scope of a 

potential problem regarding their 

referral from primary care providers to 

specialists is not well-defined in the 

current literature. 

CDC proposes to conduct a one-time 

study to collect qualitative and 

quantitative information on optimal and 

sub-optimal referral patterns for patients 

with confirmed or suspected chronic 

hematologic malignancies. Information 

will be collected to identify specific 

factors related to delays in diagnosis 

and/or referral to appropriate medical 

specialists. Information will be collected 

through in-depth interviews with 

hematologic cancer patients, in-depth 

interviews and focus groups with 

primary care providers, interviews with 

specialists in hematology and oncology 

in Texas, and a one-time postal survey 

to a sample of primary care providers in 

Massachusetts. 

The ultimate goal is to develop tools 

that will improve the awareness, 

diagnosis, and referral of persons with 

chronic hematological cancers by 

primary care providers. 

There are no costs to respondents 

other than their time.

are required to publish notice in the 

Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, and 

to allow 60 days for public comment in 

response to the notice. This notice 

solicits comments on the information 

collection requirements relating to SMP 

(formerly Senior Medicare Patrol) 

Program outcome measurement. 

DATES: Submit written or electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information by June 12, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic 

comments on the collection of 

information to:

3533 or by e-mail: 

doris.summey@aoa.hhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) and includes agency request 

or requirements that members of the 

public submit reports, keep records, or 

provide information to a third party. 

Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension of an 

existing collection of information, 

before submitting the collection to OMB 

for approval. To comply with this 

requirement, AoA is publishing notice 

of the proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

With respect to the following collection 

of information, AoA invites comments 

on: (1) Whether the proposed collection 

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of AoA’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

AoA’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

when appropriate, and other forms of 

information technology. 

Grantees are required by Congress to 

provide information for use in program 

monitoring and for Government 

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 

purposes. This information collection 

reports the number of active volunteers, 

issues and inquiries received, other 

SMP program outreach activities, and 

the number of Medicare dollars 

recovered, among other SMP 

Performance outcomes. 

AoA estimates the burden of this 

collection of information as follows: 

Respondents: 54 SMP grantees at 23 

hours per month (276 hours per year, 

per grantee). Total Estimated Burden 

Hours: 14,904 hours per year. 

Dated: April 8, 2009.

Proposed Project 

Registration of Individuals Displaced 

by the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita 

(Pilot Project)—New—Agency for Toxic 

Substances and Disease Registry 

(ATSDR), Coordinating Center for 

Environmental Health and Injury 

Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane 

Katrina made landfall on the coast of the 

Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans, 

Louisiana, and became one of the most 

deadly and destructive storms in U.S. 

history. Also occurring in 2005, 

Hurricane Rita was the fourth-most 

intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded 

and the most intense tropical cyclone 

ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Following the initial phase of the 

response, the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) assumed 

the primary role for housing displaced 

persons over the intermediate term. To 

support those needing temporary 

housing, FEMA provided over 143,000 

travel trailers, park homes, and mobile 

homes for persons displaced by the 

above mentioned storms. However, 

some persons living in trailers 

complained of an odor or of eye or 

respiratory tract irritation. 

FEMA entered into an Interagency 

Agreement with the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC)/ATSDR 

on August 16, 2007 to conduct a
