SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 education
programs to support the education and 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 form is
also used by CBDPP recipients to report on services rendered, patients
served, and partnerships as an annual data report. 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 the site and enter their data. Users can see
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. HRSA proposes two additions to
the DSR data reporting tool. First, HRSA proposes adding an additional
response option to the HIV/AIDS Status question to record clients whose
HIV status is indeterminate. Second, HRSA proposes adding a question
that will identify specific populations such as LGBTQI, urban/suburban/
rural persons, homeless persons, persons with substance use disorder,
migrant or seasonal workers, incarcerated/paroled persons, and/or
runaway youth, who were specifically prioritized to receive services
through community-based partnership programs.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on March 8,
2023 (Volume 88, No. 45, pages 14375-76). There were no public comments
in response to the notice.
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
[[Page 35889]]
CBDDP grant recipients. This information also allows HRSA to learn
about (1) the extent of the involvement of dental schools and programs
in treating persons 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 persons 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
recipients to 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 indicators: 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.
