Government Seeks Comments on HIV Dental Paperwork Burden
Published Date: 11/26/2025
Notice
Summary
HRSA is updating the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Services Report, which helps dental schools get funding to train providers and care for people with HIV. They want your feedback on the changes before January 26, 2026. This update aims to keep the program running smoothly without adding extra paperwork or costs.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Estimated Annual Reporting Burden Hours
HRSA estimates the total annualized burden for the revised DSR at 1,810 hours across 68 respondents: 56 DRP applicants each with an estimated 32.0 hours (total 1,792 hours) and 12 CBDPP recipients each with 1.5 hours (total 18 hours). These are the burden-hour estimates HRSA is requesting comment on as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act review.
DSR Data Used to Verify Eligibility and Reimburse
HRSA states the Dental Services Report (DSR) is used annually to verify applicant eligibility and determine reimbursement amounts for the Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) and to document program accomplishments for CBDPP recipients. The DSR collects program information, client demographics, oral health services, funding, training, and narrative descriptions of services and partnerships.
Web-Based DSR Platform Cuts Reporting Burden
If you are a RWHAP Dental Reimbursement Program (DRP) applicant or a Community-Based Dental Partnership Program (CBDPP) recipient, HRSA now provides a web-based DSR website (in use beginning with the 2022 submission) that lets authorized users enter and submit aggregate DSR data, view submission status, and avoid emailing their dataset to HRSA. HRSA says the DSR website's implementation contributed to an overall decrease in burden hours.
DSR Form: Three Minor Data Changes
If you are an accredited dental education program applying to or receiving Ryan White Part F funds, HRSA proposes three specific changes to the Dental Services Report (DSR): remove the question regarding gender, add an "Unknown" response option for the "Sex at Birth" variable, and remove "People and Communities Disproportionately Impacted by HIV" from section 4. HRSA describes these as minor modifications intended to keep the program running smoothly without adding extra paperwork or costs.
