    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration

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--0915-0151--Revision

    This is a request for approval of a revision of the application and 
instructions used by accredited dental schools and post-doctoral dental 
programs requesting reimbursement for documented uncompensated costs 
for providing oral health care for HIV infected individuals. Awards are 
authorized under section 776(b) of the PHS 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 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.
    The hourly burden estimate has increased substantially based upon 
the experience of the grantees in completing the information required. 
The burden estimate is as follows:
