Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

[60Day-23-1289; Docket No. CDC-2023-0041]


Proposed Data Collection Submitted for Public Comment and 
Recommendations

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice with comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as part 
of its continuing effort to reduce public burden and maximize the 
utility of government information, invites the general public and other 
federal agencies the opportunity to comment on a continuing information 
collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This 
notice invites comment on a proposed information collection project 
titled Sealant Efficiency Assessment for Locals and States (SEALS). 
This data will be collected from local school sealant programs to 
generate efficiency performance measures, which will allow CDC to 
identify feasible benchmarks and best practices contributing to school 
sealant program efficiency.

DATES: CDC must receive written comments on or before August 4, 2023.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. CDC-2023-
0041 by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the instructions for submitting comments.
     Mail: Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection Review 
Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road 
NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the agency name 
and Docket Number. CDC will post, without change, all relevant comments 
to www.regulations.gov.
    Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking 
portal (www.regulations.gov) or by U.S. mail to the address listed 
above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on the 
proposed project or to obtain a copy of the information collection plan 
and instruments, contact Jeffrey M. Zirger, Information Collection 
Review Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton 
Road NE, MS H21-8, Atlanta, Georgia 30329; Telephone: 404-639-7570; 
Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to the OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that will help:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected;
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses; and
    5. Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    Sealant Efficiency Assessment for Locals and States (SEALS) (OMB 
Control No. 0920-1289)--Reinstatement with change--National Center for 
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for 
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    By age 19, 67% of U.S. adolescents living in poverty have 
experienced tooth decay and 27% have at least one decayed tooth needing 
treatment. School sealant programs provide dental sealants, which 
protect against 80% of cavities for two years, and continue to protect 
against 50% of cavities for up to four years. CDC requests information 
from states regarding children's cavity risk, one-year sealant 
retention rate, sealant program services delivered, and school sealant 
program cost and quantity of resources used at each school event. This 
data will allow CDC and states to monitor the performance and 
efficiency of their school sealant programs, which will improve and 
extend program delivery to more children.
    CDC requests OMB approval for a Reinstatement of a previously 
approved data collection. The total estimated

annualized burden hours requested are 1,392. There are no costs to 
respondents other than their time.
