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
http://www.grants.gov.

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

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

diseases, promote wellness in children
and adults, and provide positive,
sustainable health change in
communities.
There are no costs to respondents

variables and contextual factors that
inhibit or accelerate successful
implementation of these strategies will
allow states and communities to

current environment and context. As a
result of the CPPW program, powerful
models of success are expected to

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.
