This information collection does not involve statistical methods.
The respondents will be approximately 25 Awardees of the ATSDR’s Partnership to Promote Local Efforts to Reduce Environmental Exposure (APPLETREE) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA No. CDC-RFA-TS17-1701) (Attachment 3). Eligible applicants include federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments; American Indian/Alaska native tribally designated organizations; political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states); and state and local governments or their bona fide agents.
Staff personnel in the Awardee agencies are generally classified in the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics “May 2015 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, United States” as environmental scientists and specialists (including health) (see http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.htm#19-0000):

Under cooperative agreement, ATSDR collects information related to Awardee activities and the process and outcome performance measures. Information will be used to monitor progress toward program goals and objectives, and for quality improvement. Awardees will be required to report performance measures and annual progress reports to inform continuous program quality improvement.
All APPLETREE Awardees will be required to report prescribed performance measures and progress reports. Awardees will also be required to submit an Annual Performance Report (APR) of program accomplishments with an updated Annual Plan of Work (APOW) at the end of each budget year. ATSDR expects 100% reporting by its Awardees.
No tests of procedures or methods for the “APPLETREE Performance Measures” were conducted, as this information collection request (ICR) is intended for program management and not for research or for investigations.
No individuals were consulted on statistical aspects, because the “APPLETREE Performance Measures” are administrative, and not scientific or research, information collections.
The APPLETREE Awardees will report their performance measures and submit their APRs on a specified schedule (Attachment 3).
