    Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 
Part F Dental Services Report, OMB No. 0915-0151--Extension.
    Abstract: The Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) and the Community-
Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP) under Part F of the Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) offer funding to accredited dental schools and 
other accredited dental education programs to support the provision of 
oral health services for people living with HIV as well as the 
education and training of oral health providers in HIV oral health 
care. Institutions eligible for these RWHAP Part F funds are accredited 
schools of dentistry and other accredited dental education programs, 
such as dental hygiene programs or those sponsored by a school of 
dentistry, a hospital, or a public or private institution that offers 
postdoctoral training in the specialties of dentistry, advanced 
education in general dentistry, or a dental general practice residency. 
The Dental Services Report (DSR) collects data on program information, 
client demographics, oral health services, funding, and training. 
Awards are authorized under section 2692(b) of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 300ff-111(b)).
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The primary purpose of 
collecting this information annually is to verify applicant 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 RWHAP-
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 living 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, public and community 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 schools of dentistry and other 
accredited dental education programs, such as dental hygiene programs 
or those sponsored by a school of dentistry, a hospital, or a public or 
private institution that offers postdoctoral training in the 
specialties of dentistry, advanced education in general dentistry, or a 
dental general practice residency.
    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. As this ICR is an extension, the total burden 
hours are unchanged. The total annual burden hours estimated for this 
ICR are summarized in the table below.
