Order 12862, dated September 11, 1993,
calls for the establishment and
implementation of customer service
standards, and for agencies to ‘‘survey
customers to determine the kind and
quality of services they want and their
level of satisfaction with current
services.’’ The overall purpose of the
Dental Care Patient Satisfaction Survey
(DPSS) is to systematically obtain
information from patients, which can be
used to identify problems or complaints
that need attention and to improve the
quality of dental health care services.
This information will be collected
through the DPSS, VA Form 10–10070,
and may be submitted either on paper
or electronically by Veterans. The DPSS
questions have minor changes, to
include updates to the Race and
Ethnicity data collection fields to reflect
current requirements. VHA also is
prepared to implement an additional
mode of collecting the information
utilizing a web-based access system for
Veterans to submit the survey
responses. Information obtained from
this dental survey will be made readily
available to VA Central Office (VACO),
Veterans Integrated Service Network
(VISN), VHA field staff, and
stakeholders as part of the Network
Performance Report and via the VA
Intranet. This data will be used to
demonstrate that VA is providing
timely, high quality dental health care
services to patients and to measure
improvement toward performance goals.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 89 FR
92740, November 22, 2024.
Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 12,600
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 15 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Once
annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50,400.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Rehabilitation Research and
Development Service Scientific Merit
Review Board; Federal Register Notice
of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) gives notice under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch.
10, that a meeting of the Rehabilitation
Research and Development Service
(RR&D) Scientific Merit Review Board
(hereinafter, ‘‘the Board’’) will be held
on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, via
Webex from 1–1:30 p.m. EST. The
meeting will be partially closed to the
public, with an open portion from 1–
1:10. The closed portion, from 1:10–
1:30, will be used for discussion,
examination of and reference to the
research applications and scientific
review. Discussions will involve
reference to staff and consultant
critiques of research proposals.
Discussions will also cover the scientific
merit of each proposal and the
qualifications of personnel conducting
the studies, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
Additionally, premature disclosure of
research information could significantly
obstruct implementation of proposed
agency action regarding the research
proposals. As provided by Public Law
92–463 subsection 10(d), and amended
by Public Law 94–409, closing the
committee meeting is in accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6) and (9)(B).
The objective of the Board is to
provide for the fair and equitable
selection of the most meritorious
research projects for support by VA
research funds and to offer advice for
research program officials on program
priorities and policies. The ultimate
objective of the Board is to ensure that
the VA RR&D program promotes
functional independence and improves
the quality of life for impaired and
disabled Veterans.
Board members will advise the
Deputy Chief Research and
Development Officer for Investigators,
Scientific Review and Management
(ISRM) and the Chief Research and
Development Officer on the scientific
and technical merit, mission relevance
and protection of human and animal
subjects of the proposals submitted to
RR&D. The Board does not consider
grants, contracts or other forms of
extramural research.
Members of the public may attend the
open portion of the meeting via Webex,
from 1–1:10 p.m., in listen-only mode,
as the time-limited open agenda does
