Management and Budget (OMB) for its

review.

The State plan preprint and

amendments serve as a contract with

OCSE in outlining the activities the

States will perform as required by law

in order for States to receive federal

funds to meet the costs of these

activities. We are asking for approval of

the revised State plan preprint page for

for making absent parent information

available to Consumer Reporting

Agencies in accordance with

Sec.302.70(d). The information

Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention

[Announcement 646]

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health; Community

Partners for Healthy Farming

Introduction

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 1996

funds for cooperative agreements for the

Community Partners for Healthy

Farming (CPHF), a program with a dual

purpose: to conduct community-based

and action-oriented health and safety

surveillance and to pilot and evaluate

interventions that can reduce or prevent

work related injuries and illnesses in

farm workers and their families.

The CDC is committed to achieving

the health promotion and disease

prevention objectives of Healthy People

2000, a national activity to reduce

morbidity and mortality and improve

the quality of life. This announcement

is related to the priority area of

Occupational Safety and Health. (For

ordering a copy of Healthy People 2000,

see the Section Where To Obtain

Additional Information.)

Authority

This program is authorized under

Section 20(a) of the Occupational Safety

and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C.

669(a)).

Smoke-Free Workplace

The CDC strongly encourages all grant

recipients to provide a smoke-free

workplace and promote the nonuse of

all tobacco products, and Public Law

103–227, the Pro-Children Act of 1994,

prohibits smoking in certain facilities

that receive Federal funds in which

education, library, day care, health care,

and early childhood development

services are provided to children.

Eligible Applicants

Applications may be submitted by

public and private, non-profit and forprofit organizations, governments and

their agencies. Eligible applicants

include domestic nonprofit

organizations, official public health

agencies of States, universities, colleges,

research institutions, and other public

and private organizations or their bona

fide agents, federally recognized Indian

tribal governments, Indian tribes or

Indian tribal organizations, and small,

minority- and/or women-owned

businesses. CDC/NIOSH encourages the

formation of partnerships between

public health, research organizations

and community based groups serving

agricultural populations.

Note: Organizations described in Section

501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of

1986 which engage in lobbying activities are

not eligible for the receipt of Federal grants

or cooperative agreements.

Availability of Funds

Approximately $1,600,000 is available

in FY 1996 to fund approximately 9–16

awards. It is expected that for the seven

to twelve sentinel event surveillance

projects the average award will be

approximately $95,000, ranging from

$55,000 to $105,000. It is anticipated

that for the three to six intervention

research projects the average award will

be approximately $130,000, ranging

from approximately $45,000 to

$175,000. It is further expected that the

awards will be effective on or about

September 30, 1996 and will be made

for a 12-month budget period within a

project period of up to three years.

Funding estimates may vary and are

subject to change.

CDC/NIOSH does not intend to fund

more than one surveillance application

per State, and intervention funding

decisions may be made to assure an

appropriate geographic distribution of

awardees.

Continuation awards within the

project period will be made based on

satisfactory progress and the availability

of funds.

Recipient Financial Participation

CDC strongly encourages in-kind and

other financial support by non-Federal

agencies such as community and State

organizations as well as private

businesses (e.g., machinery and farm

implement dealers). Such support will

promote the continuation of efforts to

prevent illness and injury in agriculture

after the cessation of funding under this

announcement.

Purpose

Surveillance

The purpose of the surveillance

component of this announcement is to

conduct on-going, action-oriented

surveillance of agriculture-related

disease, injury, and hazards in

agricultural communities. This

component continues surveillance

efforts begun in 1990 under the

Occupational Health Nurses in

Agricultural Communities (OHNAC)

program. The OHNAC program

conducted community-based

surveillance and intervention efforts

and during a five-year period placed

approximately 32 nurses in

communities in ten States. These nurses

conducted surveillance for illness and

injury sentinel health events in their

communities, developed strong

partnerships with agricultural and

health-care communities, and have

focused public health attention on

problems affecting farmers, farm

workers, and farm families. Each State

conducted case-based surveillance with

varying methodologies as to case

definition, geographic regions targeted,

intensity of active vs. passive

surveillance, and reporting sources

(Connon et al., 1993). While generally

successful, some surveillance efforts

were limited by factors including the

lack of reporting laws in some States,

reliance on self-reporting of incidents by

workers themselves, and lack of

consistent case definitions between

States. There was more efficient use of

staff time for both surveillance and

interventions when nurses focused work

in a geographic region that kept travel

time to a minimum but permitted

expansion of both surveillance and

interventions to larger geographic

regions for investigation of specific

occurrences or dissemination of

findings.

Surveillance-driven prevention efforts

in OHNAC have included the

dissemination of surveillance findings
