Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted the information
collection request titled ``Synopses of State Dental Public Health
Programs'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval. CDC previously published a ``Proposed Data Collection
Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations'' notice on May 6,
2022 to obtain comments from the public and affected agencies. CDC
received one comment. This notice serves to allow an additional 30 days
for public and affected agency comments.
CDC will accept all comments for this proposed information
collection project. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly
interested in comments that:
(a) 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;
(b) 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;
(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) 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 submission of responses; and
(e) Assess information collection costs.
To request additional information on the proposed project or to
obtain a copy of the information collection plan and instruments, call
(404) 639-7570. Comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. Direct
written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained in
this notice to the Attention: CDC Desk Officer, Office of Management
and Budget, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503 or by fax to (202)
395-5806. Provide written comments within 30 days of notice
publication.
Proposed Project
Synopses of State Dental Public Health Programs--Existing
Collection in use without an OMB Control Number--National Center for
Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
This request is to collect information about human resources,
programs, and infrastructure in oral health departments within a state
health department for all 50 states and Washington, DC. Oral health
affects our ability to eat, speak, smile, and show emotions. Oral
health also affects a person's self-esteem, school performance, and
attendance at work or school. Oral diseases--which range from cavities
and gum disease to oral cancer--cause pain and disability for millions
of Americans and cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year. CDC
supports states in their efforts to reduce oral disease and improve
oral health by using effective interventions. CDC provides state and
territorial health departments with funding, guidance, and technical
assistance to monitor oral disease across populations and to implement
and evaluate oral health interventions.
The Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD)
is a national non-profit organization representing the directors and
staff of state public health agency programs for oral health. It was
organized in 1948 and is one of 20 affiliates of the Association of
State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). ASTDD formulates and
promotes the establishment of national dental public health policy. In
addition, ASTDD; assists state dental programs in the development and
implementation of programs and policies for the prevention of oral
diseases; builds awareness and strengthens dental public health
professionals' knowledge and skills by developing position papers and
policy statements; provides information on oral health to health
officials and policy makers; and conducts
[[Page 62859]]
conferences for the dental public health community. The word ''state''
is used to indicate U.S. states, the District of Columbia, U.S.
territories, and other U.S.-associated jurisdictions, except where
explicitly noted otherwise.
In 1994, ASTDD originated the annual Synopses of Dental Programs to
share information among dental directors and partners. The Synopses of
State Oral Health Programs (hereby referred to as State Synopses)
described program activities and successes and the challenges that
programs faced during the previous year. In 1997, ASTDD changed the
format to a more structured questionnaire. Since 1998, ASTDD has been
supported to collect data through cooperative agreements with CDC. This
collection is necessary because no other agency or entity produces
similar analyses or reports, and the Synopsis questionnaire is the only
national data collection source tracking states' efforts to improve
oral health and contributions to progress toward the national targets
for Healthy People objectives for oral health.
OMB approval is requested for three years. CDC requests approval
for an estimated 299 annual burden hours. Participation is voluntary
and there are no costs to respondents other than their time.
