SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 
Part F Dental Services Report.
    OMB No. 0915-0151--Revision.
    Abstract: The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) and the Community 
Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP) 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 Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
programs are accredited schools of dentistry, postdoctoral dental 
education programs, and dental hygiene programs. The DRP Application is 
the Dental Services Report (DSR) 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 DSR collects data in four different areas: 
program information, patient demographics and services, funding, and 
training. It also requests applicants provide narrative descriptions of 
their services and facilities, as well as how they are working together 
with other local Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program-supported programs. The 
form used to collect this information is being revised to comply with 
the National HIV/AIDS Strategy directive to standardize data collection 
and reduce grantee reporting burden. The revised form implements data 
collection standards for race, ethnicity, and sex and eliminates some 
narrative description items; however, the average burden per response 
is anticipated to remain unchanged.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: 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 CBDPP 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

[[Page 15351]]

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 DSR is critical for 
HRSA, state and local grantees, and individual providers to help assess 
the status of existing HIV-related health service delivery systems.
    Likely Respondents: Accredited dental education programs, including 
schools of dentistry, post-doctoral dental education programs, and 
dental hygiene programs.
    Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide the 
information requested. This includes the time needed to review 
instructions; to develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and 
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating and verifying 
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and 
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for 
this ICR are summarized in the table below.
