**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:
• Remove the question regarding gender to align with administrative priorities.
• Add an “Unknown” response option for the “Sex at Birth” variable.
• 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 hours estimated for this ICR are summarized in the table below.
