DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail
[email protected] or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301)
443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Services
Report (OMB No. 0915-0151)--Extension
The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) and the Community Based
Dental Partnership Program, under Part F of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program, offer funding to accredited dental education programs to
support the provision of oral health services for HIV-positive
individuals. Institutions eligible for these programs are accredited
schools of dentistry, post-doctoral dental education programs and
dental hygiene programs.
The DRP Application is the Dental Services Report that schools and
programs use to apply for funding of non-reimbursed costs, incurred in
providing oral health care to patients with HIV, or to report annual
program data. Awards are authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public
Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300ff-111(b). The Dental Services Report
collects data in four different areas: program information, patient
demographics and services, funding, and training. The report also
requests applicants to provide narrative descriptions of their services
and facilities, as well as their links and collaboration with
community-based providers of oral health services.
The primary purpose of collecting this information annually is to
verify eligibility and determine reimbursement amounts for DRP
applicants, as well as to document the program accomplishments of
Community-Based Dental Partnership Program grant recipients. This
information also allows HRSA to learn about (1) The extent of the
involvement of dental schools and programs in treating patients with
HIV, (2) the number and characteristics of clients who receive HIV/AIDS
program-supported oral health services, (3) the types and frequency of
the provision of these services, (4) the non-reimbursed costs of oral
health care provided to patients with HIV, and (5) the scope of grant
recipients' community-based collaborations and training of providers.
In addition to meeting the goal of accountability to Congress, clients,
advocacy groups, and the general public, information collected in the
Dental Services Report is critical for HRSA, state and local grantees,
and individual providers, to help assess the status of existing HIV-
related health service delivery systems.
The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of Responses per Hours per Total burden
Instrument respondents respondent Total responses response hours
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dental Services Report........................................ 70 1 70 20 1,400
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total..................................................... 70 1 70 20 1,400
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to
the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to [email protected] or by fax to 202-395-6974. Please direct all
correspondence to the ``attention of the desk officer for HRSA.''
