Activities: Proposed Collection:

Comment Request

In compliance with the requirement

for opportunity for public comment on

proposed data collection projects

(section 3506(c)(2)(A) of Title 44, United

States Code, as amended by the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

Public Law 104–13), the Health

Resources and Services Administration

(HRSA) will publish periodic

summaries of proposed projects being

developed for submission to OMB under

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

To request more information on the

proposed project or to obtain a copy of

the data collection plans, call the HRSA

Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443–

1129.

Comments are invited on: (a) whether

the proposed collection of information

is necessary for the proper performance

of the functions of the agency, including

whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information; (c)

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

Proposed Project: HIV/AIDS Dental

Reimbursement Program

(OMB No. 0915–0151)—Extension

and Revision—This is a request for

extension and revision of the

instructions used by accredited dental

schools and post-doctoral dental

programs requesting reimbursement for

documented uncompensated costs for

providing oral health care for HIVinfected individuals. Awards are

authorized under section 776(b) of the

Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.

294n).

The HIV/AIDS Bureau needs to

collect this information to determine the

amount of the reimbursement award

that is made to each institution. The

information will also assist the Health

Resources and Services Administration

(HRSA) in understanding: (1) the extent

to which dental programs are involved

in the treatment of HIV-infected

individuals; (2) the type of individuals

seeking care; (3) the scope and extent of

HIV oral health services provided; (4)

the time and costs involved in providing

these services; and (5) how the funds

used by the institutions are allocated.

Comparisons are requested between

HIV and non-HIV infected patients to

enable HRSA to determine the impact

on dental programs of providing oral

health services to HIV-infected patients.

The hourly burden estimate has

increased substantially based on the

experience of the grantees in completing

the information required.
