Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes a 
list of information collection requests under review by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these requests, call 
the CDC Reports Clearance Officer at (404) 639-7570 or send an email to 
[email protected]. Send written comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of 
Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202) 395-
5806. Written comments should be received within 30 days of this 
notice.

Proposed Project

    CDC Oral Health Management Information System (OMB No. 0920-0739, 
exp. 4/30/2014)--Revision--Division of Oral Health, National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

 Background and Brief Description

    The CDC works with state health departments to improve the oral 
health of the nation. Targeted efforts include building and/or 
maintaining effective public health capacity for the implementation, 
evaluation, and dissemination of best practices in oral disease 
prevention and advancement of oral health. Through a cooperative 
agreement program (Program Announcement DP13-1307), CDC will provide 
funding to 21 states over a five-year period. New cooperative 
agreements went into effect in September 2013 and build on previous 
funded collaboration involving CDC and state programs.
    CDC is currently approved to collect annual progress and activity 
reports from state-based oral health programs. An electronic reporting 
system has been in place since 2007 and was enhanced in 2008 to capture 
information about grantees' success stories and environmental scanning 
activities. The information collected in the management information 
system (MIS) improved CDC's ability to disseminate information about 
successful public health approaches that can be replicated or adapted 
for use in other states.
    CDC plans to implement changes to the existing information 
collection. Through a Revision request, CDC will increase the number of 
awardees from 20 to 21; describe changes in the MIS platform and data 
elements that will align the monitoring and evaluation framework for 
oral health awardees with the framework used for a number of other 
programs in the National Center

for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP); and 
implement a revised method of estimating burden. For the three awardees 
funded at the Basic level, the estimated burden for the initial data 
entry needed to populate the system is 6 hours. Thereafter, the 
estimated burden for system maintenance and annual reporting is 3 
hours. For the 18 awardees funded at the Enhanced level, the estimated 
burden for the initial data entry needed to populate the system is 13 
hours. Thereafter, the estimated burden for system maintenance and 
annual reporting is 9 hours. The revised method provides a more 
accurate depiction of burden per respondent in comparison to the method 
presented in previous requests for OMB approval, which was based on a 
long-term average burden per response. A change in the frequency of 
reporting from semi-annual to annual occurred in 2013 and shall remain 
annual in the revised MIS. Even though reports will be submitted to CDC 
annually, states may enter updates into the MIS at any time.
    The MIS will provide a central repository of information, such as 
work plans of the state oral health programs (their goals, objectives, 
performance milestones and indicators), as well as state oral health 
performance activities including programmatic and financial 
information. CDC will use the information collected to monitor awardee 
activities and to provide any technical assistance or follow-up support 
that may be needed.
    OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation in the 
progress reporting system is a condition of award for funded state oral 
health programs.
    All information will be collected electronically and there are no 
costs to respondents other than their time.
    The total estimated annualized burden hours are 255.
