Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program:
Expenditures Forms--OMB No. 0915-xxxx--New.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
which is 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 Expenditures
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.
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. RWHAP Parts A
and B recipients funded under the 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 is proposing the following updates to the RWHAP Expenditure
Reports.
RWHAP Part A Expenditures 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 Expenditure amounts and updating the title;
<bullet> Moving the Prior Fiscal Year (FY) Carryover column row
after the Current FY column 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> Re-ordering the MAI rows in the ``RWHAP Part A and MAI
Service Category Expenditures'' table as follows: 3. RWHAP Part A
Supplemental Award, 4. RWHAP Part A MAI Award Amount, 5. RWHAP Part A
MAI Carryover Amount;
<bullet> Updating calculations and language in the Legislative
Requirements Checklist; and
<bullet> Adding a requirement for Financial Officer/Designee to
certify subrecipient aggregated administrative expenditures.
RWHAP Part B Expenditures Report:
<bullet> Revising rows and column headers and other language for
clarity and alignment with RWHAP requirements;
<bullet> Adding the following rows to Table 1: 4b. RWHAP Part B HIV

Consortia Clinical Quality Management (CQM);

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.
