Abstract
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.

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:
<bullet> Federal eRulemaking Portal: <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow
the instructions for submitting comments.
<bullet> 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 <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
Please note: Submit all comments through the Federal eRulemaking
portal (<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>) or by U.S. mail to the address listed
above.

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
[[Page 36584]]
annualized burden hours requested are 1,392. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time.
