SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 the
HIV/AIDS Bureau within HRSA. 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.
The RWHAP reporting requirements include the annual submission of
client-level data in the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Services Report
(RSR). The RSR is designed to collect 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.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register, 86 FR 44376
(August 12, 2021). There were were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The RWHAP legislation
specifies HRSA's responsibilities in administering grant funds,
allocating funding, assessing HIV care outcomes (e.g., viral
suppression), and serving particular populations. The RSR collects data
on the characteristics of RWHAP-funded recipients, their contracted
service providers, and the patients or clients served. The 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 are submitted annually. The RWHAP legislation specifies
the importance of recipient accountability and linking performance to
budget. The 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.
