interviews with representatives of
different stakeholder groups to explore
their perspectives on translational

These interviews are necessary to gather
information on the translation of
WTCHP-supported research into better
care for members, the impact of this
research, and stakeholders’ views on
future directions for the program.
review of WTC-related research
conducted in a separate part of this
evaluation, adherence of WTCHPsupported research to key principles of
translational research, and opportunities

OMB approval is requested for one

hours. Participation is voluntary, and
there are no costs to the respondent
other than their time.
Interview responses will be
incorporated into RAND’s overall
assessment of the WTCHP program’s
research portfolio and will inform
recommendations for future research
investments and strategic direction. We

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. 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;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. 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 submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.
Proposed Project
Sealant Efficiency Assessment for
States and Locals Data Collection—
Existing collection in use without an
OMB Control Number—National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion, Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
By age 19, 67% of U.S. adolescents
living in poverty have experienced tooth
decay and 27% have at least one
decayed tooth needing treatment.
School sealant programs (SSP) provide
dental sealants, which protect against
80% of cavities for two years, and
continue to protect against 50% of
cavities for up to four years.
electronically onsite or collected on
paper form, and entered electronically
at a later date. At the end of the school
year, SSPs enter administrative costs
(e.g., office supplies, rent, computers)
electronically, and within 9 to 15
months after first visiting the school,
they enter information about sealant
retention. Effectiveness of resin-based
sealants is directly tied to retention, in
that a retained sealant is 100% effective
at preventing cavities. Because of this,
many SSPs sample a few children for
retention when they visit the school the
next year to deliver services to new
students.
CDC proposes to conduct a
benchmarking analysis to identify the
set of efficient SSPs and factors/
practices associated with efficiency.
Findings from the CDC benchmarking
analyses will be submitted for
publication in peer-reviewed journals
and presented at the National Oral
Health Conference. Findings will also be
shared with the Association of State and
Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD),
the oral health divisions in HRSA and
CMS, and the National Institutes of
Dental and Craniofacial Research. This
information will inform entities
considering implementing SSPs; assist
local SSPs and state oral health
departments to monitor efficiency and
impact; identify best practices; and
document if and how SSPs are a good
investment of public health dollars.
CDC requests OMB clearance for three
years. The total estimated annualized
burden hours is 1,388. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
Little is known about school sealant
program delivery logistics, resource
costs, or the quantity of resources used
per unit of service or per averted cavity.
The previously mentioned economic
model on the cost-effectiveness of SSPs
could find no recent studies on SSP cost
in the U.S. and relied on the findings
from four studies, all published before
2001. A systematic review of economic
evaluations of SSPs conducted further
found wide variation in reported cost
per child, ranging from $33 to $163.
Information on the cost and efficiency of
SSPs could help these programs become
more efficient and provide more
services per dollar in their budget.
CDC requests information from states
regarding children’s cavity risk, oneyear sealant retention rate, sealant
program services delivered, and school
sealant program cost and quantity of
resources used at each school event.
This data will allow CDC and states to
monitor the performance and efficiency
of their SSPs, which will improve and
extend program delivery to more
children.
At the beginning of each school year,
SSPs electronically enter a list of
schools they plan to serve (Add
Schools), information about their
program delivery logistics (Program
Options), and per unit resource costs
(Cost Options). Data from the previous
funding period suggest that one SSP
typically serves 20 schools. At each
school event, SSPs enter information
about resource use, children’s risk for
tooth decay, and delivered services
(Add Event). Information collected at
each school can be entered
