Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program:
Allocations Forms, OMB No. 0915-0318--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
authorized under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act. 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 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 (Expenditures Report) of their grant budget period. 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 (CQM). RWHAP Parts A and B
recipients funded under the
[[Page 8296]]
Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative are also required
to report allocations and expenditures of the grant budget period in
the EHE 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 or EHE grant award at
the beginning of their grant budget period. In the second report,
recipients document actual expenditures of their RWHAP or EHE grant
award (including any carryover dollars) at the end of their grant
budget period.
HRSA proposes the following updates to the RWHAP Allocations
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 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 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

[ssquf] 4. Total Column (Table 1)
[ssquf] 1a. ADAP Treatments (Table 2) as this information is also

Requirements Checklist's Core Medical Services:

[ssquf] Home and Community-based Health Services.
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 Initiative A&E Reports

Reports. A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register, 87 FR pp.
71339-40 (November 22, 2022). There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Accurate allocation,
expenditure, and service contract records of the recipients receiving
RWHAP and EHE funding are critical to the implementation of the RWHAP
legislation and EHE initiative appropriation language 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.
