Proposed Project

    CDC Oral Health Management Information System (OMB No. 0920-0739, 
exp. 5/31/2013)--Extension--National Center for Chronic Disease 
Prevention and Public Health Promotion (NCDDPHP), Centers for Disease 
Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    The CDC seeks to improve the oral health of the nation by targeting 
efforts to improve the infrastructure of state and territorial oral 
health departments, strengthen and enhance program capacity related to 
monitoring the population's oral health status and behaviors, develop 
effective programs to improve the oral health of children and adults, 
evaluate program accomplishments, and inform key stakeholders, 
including policy makers, of program results. Through a cooperative 
agreement program (Program Announcement DP08-802 and DP10-1012), CDC 
has provide approximately $5 million per year over five years to 20 
states to strengthen their core oral health infrastructure and 
capacity. CDC funding also helps states reduce health disparities among 
high-

risk populations including, but not limited to, those of lower SES, 
Hispanic, African American and other ethnic groups.
    NCCDPHP is currently pursuing a key initiative to improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of CDC project officers who oversee the 
state and territorial oral health programs. An electronic management 
information system (MIS) to support program management, consulting and 
evaluation has been developed in support of the cooperative agreement. 
The MIS provides a central repository of information, such as the plans 
of the state or territorial oral health programs (their goals, 
objectives, performance milestones and indicators), as well as state 
and territorial oral health performance activities including 
programmatic and financial information. State oral health programs have 
used the MIS to submit their required semi-annual reports to CDC (CDC 
Oral Health Management Information System, OMB No. 0920-0739, 5/31/
2013). The last report under the current FOA is due on October 30, 
2013.
    CDC is requesting OMB approval to extend clearance for the MIS 
until December 31, 2013. Information will be reported to CDC once 
during this period. The extension will allow to CDC to receive final 
reports from the state oral health programs and to provide any 
technical assistance or follow-up support that may be needed to produce 
accurate final reports. There is no change to the estimated burden per 
response, which is 11 hours.
    All information will be collected electronically. There are no 
costs to respondents other than their time. The total estimated 
annualized burden hours are 220.
