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, 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, 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:
    Evaluation of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Dental Reimbursement 
Program--Title 776(b) of the Public Health Service Act authorizes the 
Secretary to make grants to assist accredited dental schools and post-
doctoral dental programs to meet uncompensated costs for providing oral 
health care to HIV infected individuals. A survey will be conducted to 
determine the effect this reimbursement program has had on the conduct 
of HIV/AIDS education and services within institutions and their 
graduates receiving these funds.
    The survey will assess the effect the Program has had on (1) the 
support and commitment of institutions to HIV/AIDS education and the 
provision of care; (2) the scope, content and conduct of HIV/AIDS 
education in participating institutions, (3) increasing the access to 
oral health care by HIV/AIDS patients; and (4) improving the 
integration of oral health care with health care and long-term HIV/AIDS 
case management under other components of the Ryan White Act. The 
survey will compare dental schools and hospitals awarded Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS dental reimbursement monies with eligible institutions which 
did not participate in the reimbursement program. An initial mail 
questionnaire will be followed up by a telephone interview. The 
telephone interview will use Computer Assisted Telephone Interview 
(CATI) technology. Burden estimates are as follows:
