Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
Parts A and B Unobligated Balances and Rebate Addendum Tables, OMB No.
0906-0047--Extension.
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 (FPL). 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 with diagnosed HIV--more than 50 percent of all people
with diagnosed HIV in the United States.
Grant recipients funded under RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D (codified
under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act) are required to
report financial data to HRSA at the beginning (Allocations Report) and
at the end of each grant budget period (Expenditures Report) using the
designated HRSA grant submission software which is approved by OMB
under the 0915-0318 control number. HRSA collects unobligated balances
(UOB) of federal funds and rebate addendum information by subprogram
from their grant recipients. A UOB is the cumulative amount that is
available for obligation in an unexpired account. HRSA uses the UOB and
rebate addendum financial information to determine formula funding as
directed by the RWHAP
[[Page 42254]]
statute. HRSA is not planning to make changes to this information
collection as part of this extension request.
Federal award expenditure data were previously collected when grant
recipients submitted their annual Federal Financial Report (FFR SF-
425), which HRSA then combined with the UOB and rebate addendum tables
submitted by recipients using the designated HRSA grant submission
software. HRSA created the currently approved instrument, which has
been in use for several years now, to streamline the process for grant
recipients by collecting financial information in the same location and
at the same time as the FFR SF-425. Whereas grant recipients previously
completed the FFR SF-425 in the HRSA EHBs, they now complete it in the
Payment Management System. Additionally, grant recipients complete the
UOB and rebate addendum data tables as part of their FFR SF-425
submission in the Payment Management System.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: Before implementing the
current process described above, RWHAP Part A and Part B recipients
completed the UOB and rebate addendum tables in a non-electronic form
and uploaded them as attachments to their FFR SF-425 submission.
Renewal of the current process will continue to increase transparency
and improve 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, cities, states and
territories, local clinics, and individual providers to evaluate the
effectiveness of these programs.

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 last total annual burden hours estimated
are summarized in the table below.

Note: This is the previously estimated annualized burden hours. A
current assessment of recipient burden hours is under way. The newly
captured estimates will be included in the 30-day FRN.
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.
