Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Awardees Must Complete ALPA Annually
CDC requires ongoing and new CDC Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs (CLPPPs), including those funded under CDC-RFA-EH21-2102, to complete the Awardee Lead Profile Assessment (ALPA) every year. The survey is completed by State, territorial, and local governments (or their bona fide fiscal agents), takes an estimated 53 minutes per response in 2025 (up from 47 minutes in 2021), and CDC requests OMB approval for 66 annualized burden hours. There is no monetary cost to respondents beyond the time to complete the survey.
ALPA Findings Will Be Shared Publicly
CDC will share ALPA assessment findings with CDC-funded Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Programs, and may respond to public inquiries or publish a report or journal article. The results are intended to help funded and non-funded jurisdictions identify policies and strategies that support or hinder childhood lead poisoning prevention and to develop similar strategies to support the national agenda to eliminate childhood lead poisoning.
