Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Client-Level Data Reporting System: OMB No. 0906-0039--Extension.
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP), authorized under
Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, is administered by HRSA's
HIV/AIDS Bureau. HRSA awards funding to recipients in areas of the
greatest need to respond effectively to the changing HIV epidemic, with
an emphasis on providing life-saving and life-extending medical care,
treatment, and support services for people living with HIV in the
United States.
RWHAP reporting requirements include the annual submission of
client-level data in the RWHAP Services Report (RSR). RSR collects
information from grant recipients and their subcontracted service
providers, funded under Parts A, B, C, and D of the RWHAP legislation.
HRSA is requesting an extension of the current RSR with no changes.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: RWHAP legislation
specifies HRSA's responsibilities in administering grant funds,
allocating funding, assessing HIV care outcomes (e.g., viral
suppression), and serving particular populations. RSR collects data on
the characteristics of RWHAP-funded recipients, their contracted
service providers, and the patients or clients served. RSR system
consists of two primary components, the Recipient Report and the
Provider Report, and a data file containing the client-level data
elements. Data is submitted annually. RWHAP legislation specifies the
importance of recipient accountability and linking performance to
budget. RSR is used to ensure recipient compliance with the law,
including evaluating the effectiveness of programs, monitoring
recipient and provider performance, and informing annual reports to
Congress. Information collected through the RSR is critical for HRSA,
state and local grant recipients, and individual providers to assess
the status of existing HIV-related service delivery systems, assess
trends in service utilization, assess the impact of data reporting and
identify areas of greatest need.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP grant recipients, as well as their
subcontracted service providers, funded under RWHAP parts A, B, C, and
D.
Burden Statement: Burden in this context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the
information requested. This includes the time needed to review
instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; to train personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search data sources; to complete and
review the collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise
disclose the information. The total annual burden hours estimated for
this ICR are summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology to
minimize the information collection burden.
