Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program:
Allocations Forms, OMB No. 0915-0318--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau administers the Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) authorized under Title XXVI of the Public Health
Service Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension
Act of 2009. The RWHAP Allocations and Expenditures Reports (A&E
Reports) allow HRSA to monitor and track the use of grant funds for
compliance with program and grants policies, and requirements as
outlined in the legislation. To avoid duplication and reduce recipient
reporting burden, HRSA created an electronic grantee contract
management system (GCMS) that includes data required for various
reports, including the Allocations Reports and other HRSA data reports,
such as the RWHAP Services Report. Recipients can access GCMS year-
round to upload or manually enter data on their service provider
contractors or subrecipients, the RWHAP core medical and support
services provided, and their funding amounts. Data required for
Allocations Reports and other reports are automatically prepopulated
from GCMS. Expenditures Report data are not auto-populated in the GCMS,
and are thus still manually entered into the data reporting system.
Allocations and Expenditures (A&E) Reports
Recipients funded under RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D are required to
report financial data to HRSA at the beginning (Allocations Report) and
at the end of their grant budget period (Expenditures Report). The A&E
Reports request information recipients already collect, including the
use of RWHAP grant funds for core medical and support services; and on
various program components, such as administration, planning and
evaluation, and clinical quality management. RWHAP Parts A and B
recipients funded under the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative (EHE)
are also required to report EHE services allocations and corresponding
EHE award expenditures in the A&E Reports. This allows HRSA to track
and report progress toward meeting the EHE goals. The reports are
similar in content; however, in the first report, recipients document
the allocation of their RWHAP grant award at the beginning of their
grant budget period. In the second report, recipients document actual
expenditures of their RWHAP grant award (including any carryover
dollars) at the end of their grant budget period.
HRSA is proposing the following updates to the RWHAP Allocation
Reports.
RWHAP Part A Allocations Report
<bullet> Revising row and column headers and other language for
clarity and alignment with RWHAP requirements;
<bullet> Combining the columns for RWHAP Part A Formula and
Supplemental Allocation amounts and updating the title;
<bullet> Moving the RWHAP Part A Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI)
Award Amount row after the RWHAP Part A Supplemental Award Amount row;
<bullet> Changing the calculation for Service Allocation Subtotal
percent in the Total
[[Page 71340]]
RWHAP Part A Allocation Amounts column;
<bullet> Blacking out the percent columns for the RWHAP Part A
Formula and Supplemental Allocation Amounts, RWHAP Part A MAI
Allocation Amounts, and selected cells in the Total RWHAP Part A
Allocation Amounts column; and
<bullet> Adding the Legislative Requirements Checklist.
RWHAP Part B Allocations Report
<bullet> Revising row and column headers and other language for
clarity and alignment with RWHAP requirements;
<bullet> Adding the following rows to Table 1: 4c. Part B HIV Care
Consortia Planning & Evaluation/Emerging Communities (EC) HIV Care
Consortia Planning & Evaluation and 4d. Part B HIV Care Consortia
Clinical Quality Management (CQM)/EC HIV Care Consortia CQM except for
the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Earmark + ADAP Supplemental
Award cells;
<bullet> Removing row 11. Total Part B X07 Allocations;
<bullet> Allowing users to enter data in Table 2 for 1d. Health
Insurance Premium & Cost Sharing and 1e. Home and Community-based
Health Services;
<bullet> Blacking out selected cells in the following rows,
columns, or tables:
[ssquf] 2. Part B Health Insurance Premium & Cost Sharing Assistance
for Low-Income Individuals (Table 1) as this information is also
reported in Table 2
[ssquf] 3. Part B Home and Community-based Health Services (Table 1) as
this information is also reported in Table 2
[ssquf] 4. Total Column (Table 1)
[ssquf] 1a. AIDS Drug Assistance Program Treatments (Table 2) as this
information is also reported in Table 1
[ssquf] MAI Award (Table 3); and
<bullet> Updating calculations and language in the Legislative
Requirements Checklist.
RWHAP Part C Allocations Report
<bullet> There are no proposed changes to the RWHAP Part C
Allocations Report.
RWHAP Part D Allocations Report
<bullet> There are no proposed changes to the RWHAP Part D
Allocations Report.
HRSA EHE A&E Reports
<bullet> There are no proposed changes to the HRSA EHE Allocations
Reports.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Accurate allocation,
expenditure, and service contract records of the recipients receiving
RWHAP funding are critical to the implementation of the RWHAP
legislation and thus are necessary for HRSA to fulfill its monitoring
and oversight responsibilities.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D
recipients.
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.

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.
