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) publishes 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 and draft

instruments, call the HRSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–1891.

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

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information

on respondents, including through the

use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information

technology.

Proposed Project: Implement

performance standards for Special

Projects of Regional or National

Significance (SPRANS), Community

Integrated Service Systems (CISS)

projects, and other grant programs

administered by MCHB.

The Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) proposes to

modify reporting requirements for

SPRANS projects, CISS projects, and

other grant programs administered by

the Maternal and Child Health Bureau

(MCHB) to include national

performance measures being developed

in accordance with the requirements of

the ‘‘Government Performance and

Results Act (GPRA) of 1993’’ (Public

Law 103–62). This act requires the

establishment of measurable goals for

Federal programs that can be reported as

part of the budgetary process, thus

linking funding decisions with

performance. Performance measures for

States have already been established

under the block grant provisions of Title

V. Performance measures for other

MCHB-funded grant programs are

currently being finalized, and will be

sent to the Office of Management and

Budget for approval.

There are approximately 30 proposed

new performance measures. However,

some measures are specific to certain

types of programs, and will not apply to

all grantees. Furthermore, the measures

are expected to be based primarily on

existing data. Thus, response burden

associated with this proposed

requirement will be minimal. The

estimated response burden is as follows:

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request

Periodically, the Health Resources

and Services Administration (HRSA)

publishes abstracts of information

collection requests under review by the

Office of Management and Budget, in

compliance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Chapter 35). To request a copy of the

clearance requests submitted to OMB for

review, call the HRSA Reports

Clearance Office on (301) 443–1129.

The following request has been

submitted to the Office of Management

and Budget for review under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Ryan White CARE

Act Dental Reimbursement Program

(OMB No. 0915–0151)—Revision

The Dental Reimbursement Program

(DRP) under Part F of the Ryan White

CARE Act offers grants to accredited

dental schools and programs that

provide non-reimbursed oral health care

to patients with HIV disease. The Ryan

White CARE Act Amendments of 2000

expanded eligibility of this program to

accredited schools of dental hygiene, in

addition to previously funded schools of

dentistry and post-doctoral dental

education programs.

HRSA requests a revision to the DRP

Application that schools and programs

use to apply for funding of nonreimbursed costs incurred in providing

oral health care to patients with HIV.

Awards are authorized under section

776(b) of the Public Health Service Act

(42 U.S.C. 294n). The 2001 DRP

Application is intended to collect data

in three different areas: program

information, patient demographics and

services, and reimbursement and

funding. It also requests applicants to

provide narrative descriptions of their

services and facilities, as well as their

links and collaboration with

community-based providers of oral

health services.

The primary purpose of collecting this

information annually, as part of the DRP

Application, is to verify eligibility and

determine the reimbursement amount

each applicant should receive. 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 CARE Act-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) how applicants intend

to use DRP funds once they are

received. In addition to meeting the goal

of accountability to Congress, clients,

advocacy groups, and the general

public, information collected in the DRP

67270 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2001 / Notices

Application is critical for HRSA, State

and local grantees, and individual

providers, to help assess the status of

existing HIV-related health service

delivery systems.

The reporting burden for reviewing

the DRP Application Instructions and

completing the Application Form is

estimated as:
