Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 17 / Thursday, January 28, 2021 / Notices
Background and Brief Description
Dental caries (tooth decay) is one of
the most common chronic diseases
among children in the United States and
can lead to pain, infection, and
diminished quality of life throughout
the lifespan. Dental sealants are a costeffective measure to prevent caries but
remain underutilized.
To address states’ critical need for
state-level oral health surveillance data
on dental caries and sealants, the
Association of State and Territorial
Dental Directors (ASTDD) developed
and released an oral health screening
survey protocol referred to as the Basic
Screening Survey (BSS) in 1999 in
collaboration with the Ohio Department
of Health and with technical assistance
from the CDC’s Division of Oral Health.
BSS is a non-invasive visual
observation of the mouth performed by
trained screeners including dental and
non-dental health professionals (e.g.,
dentists, hygienists, school nurses). The
BSS data collection is not duplicative of
any other federal collection. Though the
National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey (NHANES) collects
national data on oral health status
including dental caries and sealants
based on clinical examination, it is not
designed to provide state-level data.
BSS is designed to be easy to perform
while being consistent and aligned with
the oral health Healthy People
objectives, which are based on NHANES
measures. BSS is the only data source
that provides state-representative data
on oral health status based on clinical
examination. BSS is also used to
monitor state progress toward key
national oral health objectives.
The BSS is a state-tailored survey
administered and conducted by
individual states. CDC has supported
some of the 50 states to build and
maintain their oral health surveillance
system and ASTDD to provide technical
assistance to states through state and
partner cooperative agreements since
2001. Conducting BSS for third graders
is a key component of that support.
The target populations include school
children in grades K–3 and children
enrolled in Head Start in 50 states and
Washington, DC. ASTDD and CDC
recommend that states conduct BSS at
minimum for third graders at least once
every five years. Individual states
determine how often to conduct BSS
and which grade or grades to target
based on their program needs and
available resources. Forty-seven states
have conducted BSS for children, and
all 47 conducted Third Grade BSS.
Thirty-two states also have conducted
BSS in one or more other grades (K–2)
or in Head Start Programs. CDC
estimates that approximately 34 states,
including 20 states currently funded by
CDC, will conduct one BSS, at least for
third grade, during the period for which
this approval is being sought.
State health departments administer
the survey by determining probability
samples, arranging logistics with
selected schools or Head Start sites,
gaining consent, obtaining demographic
data, training screeners, conducting the
oral health screening at schools or Head
Start sites. Screeners record four data
points either electronically or on a
paper form: (1) Presence of treated
caries, (2) presence of untreated tooth
decay, (3) urgency of need for treatment,
and (4) presence of dental sealants on at
least one permanent molar tooth.
State programs enter, clean and
analyze the data; de-identify it; and
respond to ASTDD’s annual email
request for state-aggregated prevalence
of dental caries and sealants. ASTDD
reviews the data to ensure that both
survey design and data meet specific
criteria before sending it to CDC for
publication on the CDC’s public-facing
Oral Health Data website (www.cdc.gov/
oralhealthdata).
BSS for children serves as a key state
oral health surveillance data source and
facilitates state capacity to (1) monitor
children’s oral health status, trends, and
disparities, and compare with other
states; (2) inform planning,
implementation and evaluation of
effective oral health programs and
policies; (3) measure state progress
toward Healthy People objectives; and
(4) educate the public and policy
makers regarding cross-cutting public
health programs. CDC also uses the data
to evaluate performance of CDC oral
health funding recipients.

Proposed Project
Rapid Response Suicide Investigation
Data Collection (OMB Control No.
0920–1243, Exp. 09/30/2021)—
Extension—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
CDC is frequently called upon to
respond to urgent requests from one or
more external partners (e.g., local, state,
territory, and tribal health authorities;
other federal agencies; local and state
leaders; schools; or other partner
organizations) to conduct investigations
of suicide. Supporting rapid
investigations to inform the
implementation of effective suicide
prevention strategies is one of the most
important ways CDC can serve to
protect and promote the health of the
public.
Rapid Response Suicide Investigation
Data Collections are specifically
designed to inform the implementation
of prevention strategies in a state,
county, community, or vulnerable
population where a possible suicide
cluster or increasing trend has been
observed. This generic clearance will
not be used to conduct research studies
or to collect data designed to draw
conclusions about the United States or
areas beyond the defined geographic
location or vulnerable population that is
the focus of the investigation. CDC in
collaboration with external partners
(e.g., local, state, territory, and tribal
health authorities; other federal
agencies; local and state leaders;
schools; or other partner organizations)
will identify the respondent universe for
each Rapid Response Suicide
Investigation Data Collection. The
respondent universe will be determined
based on the information needed to
understand potential suicide clusters,
significant increases in suicidal
behavior and suicide, risk and
protective factors, and vulnerable
populations in order to inform the
implementation of suicide prevention
strategies. When the goal is
generalizability, CDC will submit the
sampling methods to OMB as part of the
GenIC package. The estimated annual
burden hours are 1,000. There are no
costs to respondents other than their
time.
