Proposed Data Collections Submitted
for Public Comment and
Recommendations
In compliance with the requirement
of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 for
opportunity for public comment on
proposed data collection projects, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed projects. To
request more information on the
proposed projects or to obtain a copy of
the data collection plans and
high-risk groups. The CDC is authorized
to do this under sections 301 and 317(k)
of the Public Health Service Act [42
U.S.C. 241 and 247b(k)].
Information systems provide 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. The management
information system (MIS) will allow a
CDC project officer to enter information
related to technical assistance,
consultative plans, communication and
site visits. For state and territorial oral
health programs, this MIS will provide
a central location that will allow for the
more efficient collection of information
needed to meet reporting requirements.
The system will allow state and
territorial oral health programs
immediate access to information and
better equip them to respond to
inquiries in a timely fashion and to
make programmatic decisions in a more
efficient, informed manner.
The MIS will support CDC’s broader
mission of reducing oral health
disparities by enabling CDC staff to
more effectively identify the strengths
and weaknesses of individual state and
territorial oral health programs; to
identify national progress toward
reaching the goals of Healthy People
2010; and to disseminate information
related to successful public health
interventions implemented by state and
territorial programs to prevent and
control the burden of oral diseases. The
CDC anticipates that the state burden of
providing hard-copy reports will be
reduced with the introduction of the
Web-based progress reporting system. It
is assumed that states will experience a
learning curve in using this application
that burden will be reduced once they
have familiarized themselves with it.
There are no costs to respondents
except their time to participate in the
survey.

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. Written comments should
be received within 60 days of this

Proposed Project
CDC Oral Health Management
Information System -New- National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
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 03022), CDC
provides approximately $3 million per
year over 5 years to 12 states and one
territory to strengthen the states’ core
oral health infrastructure and capacity
and reduce health disparities among

Proposed Project
Early Hearing Detection and
Intervention Hearing Screening and
Follow-up Survey -New- National
Center on Birth Defects and
Developmental Disabilities (NCBDDD),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The National Center on Birth Defects
and Developmental Disabilities
(NCBDDD) of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention promotes the
health of babies, children, and adults
with disabilities. Activities related to
addressing hearing loss (HL) among
newborns and infants are part of
NCBDDD’s mission. HL is a common
birth defect that affects approximately
12,000 infants across the United States
each year, and can result in
developmental delays when left
undetected. As awareness about infant
HL increases, so does the demand for
accurate information about incidence,
rate of screening, referral to care, and
loss to follow-up.
Given the lack of a standardized and
readily accessible source of data, CDC’s
Early Hearing Detection and
Intervention (EHDI) program has
developed a survey to be used annually
for State and Territory EHDI Program
Coordinators that utilizes uniform
definitions to collect aggregate,
standardized EHDI data from states and
territories. This information is
important for helping to ensure infants
and children are receiving
recommended screening and follow-up
services, documenting the occurrence
and etiology of differing degrees of HL
among infants, and determining the
overall impact of infant HL on future
outcomes, such as cognitive
development and family dynamics.
These data will also assist state EHDI
programs with quality improvement
activities and provide information that
will be helpful in assessing the impact
of Federal initiatives. The public will be
able to access this information via CDC’s
EHDI Web site (https://www.cdc.gov/
ncbddd/ehdi/). There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The
total estimated annualized burden is
209 hours.

Use: CMS is requesting reapproval of
Form CMS–216–94 (OMB No.0938–
0102). The current form implements
various provisions of the Social Security
Act, including Section 1881(a) which
provides Medicare coverage for endstage renal disease patients who meet
certain entitlement requirements and
kidney donors. It also implements
Sections 1881(b)(2)(B) and 1861(v)(1)(A)
of the Act to determine the reasonable
costs incurred to furnish treatment for
renal patients and transplant patients.
The reasonable costs of securing and
transporting organs cannot be
determined for the fiscal year until the
Organ Procurement Organization/
Histocompatibility Laboratory files its
cost report (Form CMS–216) at year-end
and costs are verified by the Medicare
fiscal intermediary.
