Information Collection Request Title: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) 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 RWHAP offer
funding to accredited dental education programs to support the
education and
[[Page 14376]]
training of oral health providers in HIV oral health care and
reimbursement for the provision of oral health services for people
eligible for the RWHAP. Institutions eligible for RWHAP DRP and CBDPP
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 RWHAP DRP Application for the Notice of Funding
Opportunity includes the Dental Services Report (DSR) that applicants
use to apply for funding of non-reimbursed costs incurred in providing
oral health care to patients with HIV and 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 on program
information, client demographics, oral health services, funding, and
training. It also requests applicants to provide narrative descriptions
of their services and facilities, as well as their linkages and how
they collaborate with community-based providers of oral health
services.
Beginning with the 2022 DSR submission, the DSR website provided
RWHAP DRP applicants and RWHAP CBDPP recipients an easily accessible
and secure location to enter and submit their aggregate DSR data
annually. The web-based platform is accessible by all users and allows
users to easily navigate and enter their data. Users can oversee their
report submission status and will no longer email their completed
dataset to HRSA. The implementation of the DSR website has contributed
to the overall decrease in burden hours.
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 CBDDP 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 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,
community groups, and the general public, information collected in the
DSR is critical for HRSA and for recipients to help assess the status
of existing HIV-related health service delivery systems. The
information will provide the measurement data for the HRSA budget
justifications on the following measures: number of persons for whom a
portion/percentage of their unreimbursed oral health costs were
reimbursed and the number of providers trained through the RWHAP Part F
Dental Reimbursement and Community-Based Partnership Programs.
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. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
