human subjects regulations, and to
allow compliance with the alternative
procedures rather than with the HHS
regulatory requirements. 45 CFR
46.101(h). However, to date, the
Secretary has not made any
determinations that other procedures
provide equivalent protections to those
afforded by the HHS regulations. HHS
continues to consider whether, and
how, to implement the regulatory
authority to allow compliance with
alternative procedural standards in
place of compliance with 45 CFR part
46. One or more determinations that
alternative procedural standards
provide protections at least equivalent
to those of 45 CFR part 46 may be made
at some time in the future, but until
such time, 45 CFR part 46 is the
procedural standard which must be
complied with for all HHS-conducted or
-supported human subjects research
conducted domestically or
internationally.
The heads of other Common Rule
departments and agencies may
independently reach different
conclusions about which, if any,
procedural standard(s) to accept as
providing protections at least equivalent
to the Common Rule. This is among the
reasons that multiple procedural
standards are included on the FWA
form for international (non-U.S.)
institutions, which may be relied upon
by all Common Rule departments and
agencies.
HHS believes that this view provides
the greatest protection to human
subjects of research conducted or
supported by HHS, and is the most
ethically defensible position.

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.

CDC Assistant Reports Clearance
Officer, 1600 Clifton Road, MS-D74,
Atlanta, GA 30333 or send an e-mail to
omb@cdc.gov.
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
notice.

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
