SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Parts A and B Unobligated Balances and Rebate Addendum Tables--OMB No.
0906-0047--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states and territories, and local clinics/
community-based organizations to deliver efficient and effective HIV
care, treatment, and support to low-income people diagnosed with HIV.
Nearly two-thirds of RWHAP clients (patients) live at or below 100
percent of the federal poverty level and approximately three-quarters
of RWHAP clients are racial and ethnic minorities. Since 1990, RWHAP
has developed a comprehensive system of HIV service providers who
deliver high quality direct health care and support services to over
half a million people diagnosed with HIV--more than 50 percent of all
people diagnosed with HIV in the United States.
Grant recipients funded under parts A and B of RWHAP (codified
under title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act) are required to
report financial data to HRSA annually in their Federal Financial
Report (FFR SF-425). In addition to the FFR, RWHAP parts A and B grant
recipients are required to identify and report the unobligated balance
(UOB) by itemized subprogram/funding stream source (Formula, Minority
AIDS Initiative (MAI), AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), etc.). As
of April 22, 2021, grant recipients must submit the subprogram
breakdown of the UOB on their FFR in the Payment Management System.
Grant recipients are also required to specify RWHAP Rebate Funding
received in the fiscal year in the UOB table. HRSA uses the UOB and
rebate addendum financial information to determine formula funding as
directed by the RWHAP statute. These data were previously collected
when grant recipients submitted their annual FFR SF-425 in hard copy
only to HRSA, which then combined the FFR SF-425 data with the UOB and
rebate addendum tables that are submitted by recipients on a suggested
format through the HRSA Electronic Handbook (EHBs). The purpose of this
financial data collection is to streamline the process for the grant
recipients by collecting financial information in the same location and
at the same time. The FFR SF-425 is now completed in the Payment
Management System and is exported automatically to the HRSA EHBs when
the recipient completes the FFR. The UOB tables for RWHAP parts A and B
will continue to collect the same information with the addition of one
column on prior year (fiscal year (FY) 20XX) information. This one
column will impact seven recipients out of 111 RWHAP part A and part B
recipients in total, annually. Recipients that need to submit data to
the added column need to complete one or several fields at the most.
(See tables below for reference). The UOB and rebate addendum data
tables will be collected in the HRSA EHBs below the FFR SF-425 control
number and the Paperwork Burden Statement.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on January 24,
2023, 88 FR 4190-4192. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: RWHAP part A and part B
recipients complete the UOB and rebate addendum tables as a part of
their FFR SF-425 submission. This process has decreased administrative
burden, increased transparency, and improved the quality of data
submitted to HRSA. These UOB and rebate addendum tables are essential
for allowing HRSA to ensure that RWHAP recipients are meeting the goal
of accountability to Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the
general public. Information provided in the UOB and rebate addendum
tables is critical for HRSA, states and territories, local clinics, and
individual providers to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs.
Likely Respondents: HRSA RWHAP parts A and B 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.

Total....................... 111 .............. 111 .............. 55.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 21199]]

Note: Beginning in July 2021, information related to prior year
UOB was collected in addition to the existing data in the approved
ICR. The additional information collected does not impact all 111
respondents; in FY 2020, seven respondents reported prior year UOB,
which equates to only 6 percent of respondents impacted. The
estimated burden to potentially impacted respondents is negligible.
See the tables below for comparison of the added data point for
prior year UOB. No changes were made to the approved ICR for the
RWHAP part B rebate table.
