SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title: Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE)
Initiative in the U.S. Triannual Report OMB No. 0906-0051--Revision.
Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, counties, and local clinics to deliver
efficient and effective HIV care, treatment, and support services to
low-income people with HIV. Since 1990, the RWHAP has developed a
comprehensive system of providers who deliver high quality direct
health care and support services to over half a million people with
HIV--more than 50 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV in the
United States. Nearly two-thirds of clients live at or below 100
percent of the Federal Poverty Level.\1\

The federal Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative
focuses on reducing the number of new HIV infections in the United
States.\2\ Authorized by section 311(c) and title XXVI of the Public
Health Service Act, this initiative began in fiscal year 2020 and
focuses on 48 counties, Washington, DC; San Juan, Puerto Rico; as well
as seven states that have a substantial number of HIV diagnoses in
rural areas. The EHE initiative efforts focus on the following four key
strategies that together can end the HIV epidemic in the United States:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Diagnose all people with HIV as early as possible.
2. Treat people with HIV rapidly and effectively to reach sustained
viral suppression.
3. Prevent new HIV transmissions by using proven interventions.
4. Respond quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed
prevention and treatment services to people who need them.
The EHE initiative is a collaborative effort among key Department
of Health and Human Services agencies, primarily HRSA, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the
Indian Health Service, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration. Through HRSA's RWHAP and Health Center
Program, the agency has a leading role in helping diagnose, treat,
prevent, and respond to end the HIV epidemic in the United States.
In June 2025, HRSA awarded more than $146 million to 49 EHE
recipients to continue the efforts of the EHE initiative. This funding
helps states and metropolitan areas with the highest levels of HIV
transmission link people with HIV who are either newly diagnosed, or
are diagnosed but currently not in care, to essential HIV care to
continue the efforts of the EHE initiative. This funding helps states
and metropolitan areas with the highest levels of HIV transmission link
people with HIV who are either newly diagnosed, or are diagnosed but
currently not in care, to essential HIV care, treatment and support
services, as well as to provide workforce training, technical
assistance, and support services. HRSA is making one minor revision to
a footnote to clarify an existing instruction. There are no other
changes to the collection.
A 60-day notice published in the Federal Register on August 5,
2025, vol. 90, No. 148; pp. 37528-29. There were no public comments.
Need and Proposed Use of the Information: To support federal
requirements to monitor and report on funds distributed through the EHE
initiative, HRSA created a reporting module, the EHE Triannual Report,
which is an aggregate data report submitted three times a year by EHE
recipients and providers of services. EHE-funded providers will report
aggregate information on the number of clients receiving specific
services and the number of clients who were prescribed antiretroviral
medications in the four-month reporting period. This module provides
HRSA with frequent and timely data on EHE initiative progress by
providing information on the number of clients who are reached through
the EHE initiative. This will provide valuable information on the scope
of outreach to new clients and clients who have had a lapse in service,
which could be an indication of reengagement in care. This module will
support project officer monitoring and HRSA's understanding of service
provision. Finally, the information collected in the EHE Triannual
Report will complement the annual information collected through the
RWHAP Services Report and other reporting mechanisms and support HRSA
to monitor EHE initiative activities and assess progress toward meeting
national goals for ending the HIV epidemic.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A and Part B recipients and
subrecipients funded by the EHE initiative.
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.
