Agency Forms Undergoing Paperwork Reduction Act Review

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has submitted

Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice for the proposed 
information collection is published to obtain comments from the public

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; (b) Evaluate the 
accuracy of the agencies estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology 
and assumptions used; (c) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; (d) 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 submission of responses; and 
(e) Assess information collection costs.

Proposed Project

    CDC Oral Health Management Information System (OMB Control Number 
0920-0739, expiration date 5/31/2017)--Reinstatement with Change. 
Division of Oral Health (DOH), National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC works with state health departments to improve the oral 
health of the nation. Targeted efforts include building and/or 
maintaining an effective public health capacity for the implementation, 
evaluation, and dissemination of evidence-based practices in oral 
health disease prevention and advancement of oral health. Through a 
cooperative agreement program (Program Announcement DP13-1307), CDC has 
provided funding to 21 states over a 5-year period. This cooperative 
agreement went into effect in September 2013 and builds upon previously 
funded collaborations between CDC and state-based oral health programs.
    Currently, CDC does not have approval to collect annual progress 
and activity reports from state-based oral health programs using the 
Chronic Disease Management Information System (CDMIS). The information 
collected in the Management Information System (MIS) improves CDC's 
ability to disseminate information about successful public health 
approaches that are potentially replicable and adaptable for use in 
other states.
    CDC requests a reinstatement with change to continue collecting 
information for two additional years. The estimated burden decreased 
from 255 to 171 hours as programs no longer have to repeat the initial 
entry of administrative data after the first year. The estimated burden 
for system maintenance and annual reporting is three hours for Basic-
level awardees. The estimated burden for system maintenance and annual 
reporting is nine hours for Enhanced-level awardees. State awardees 
submit reports to CDC annually; however, states may enter updates in 
the MIS at any time.
    CDC collects all information electronically and uses this 
information to monitor awardee activities and to provide any needed 
technical assistance or follow-up support.
    There are no costs to respondents other than their time. The total 
estimated annualized burden hours are 171.
