SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Part F Dental Services Report, OMB No. 0915-0151--Revision.
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 the 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 clients 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 is also used by CBDPP recipients to report on services
rendered, clients served, and partnerships as an annual requirement.
The DSR collects data on program information, client demographics, oral
health services, funding, and training. It also requests applicants and
recipients provide a narrative description of the services offered, the
types of facilities available, and their linkage and collaboration with
community-based oral health service providers.
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. All RWHAP DRP applicants and RWHAP CBDPP recipients will be
authorized users of a web-based platform that allows users to easily
navigate the site and enter their data. Users can see their report
submission status and no longer need to email their dataset to HRSA.
The implementation of the DSR website contributed to the overall
decrease in burden hours. HRSA proposes minor modifications to the DSR
data reporting tool:
<bullet> Remove the question regarding gender to align with
administrative priorities.
<bullet> Add an ``Unknown'' response option for the ``Sex at
Birth'' variable.
<bullet> Remove ``People and Communities Disproportionately
Impacted by HIV'' from section 4.
A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on November
26, 2025, vol. 90, No. 226; pp. 34332-33. There were no public
comments.
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 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 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
general dental 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 use 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
