    Information Collection Request Title: HRSA AIDS Drug Assistance 
Program (ADAP) Data Report, OMB No. 0915-0345 Extension
    Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) ADAP is 
authorized under Part B of the RWHAP statute, codified in sections 2611 
to 2631 of the Public Health Service Act, which provides grants to U.S. 
states and territories. RWHAP ADAP is a state and territory 
administered program that provides Food and Drug Administration-
approved medications to low-income people with HIV who have limited or 
no health coverage from private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. RWHAP 
ADAP funds may also be used to purchase health care coverage for 
eligible clients and for services that enhance access, adherence, and 
monitoring of drug treatments.
    All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, and the five U.S. Pacific Territories or 
Associated Jurisdictions receive RWHAP Part B grant awards, including 
funds for RWHAP ADAP. RWHAP Part B requires the annual submission of an 
ADAP Data Report, which is composed of a Recipient Report and a Client 
Report. The Recipient Report is a collection of basic information about 
grant recipient characteristics and policies including program 
administration, purchasing mechanisms, funding, and expenditures. The 
Client Report is a collection of de-identified client-level records 
(one record for each client enrolled in RWHAP ADAP), which includes the 
client's encrypted unique identifier, basic demographic data, 
enrollment and certification information, details on medication and/or 
health care coverage assistance received (including associated costs), 
and HIV clinical information.
    HRSA is not proposing any changes to the collection, and there are 
no anticipated changes in the reporting burden.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: The RWHAP statute 
mandates the submission of a biennial report by the Secretary of HHS to 
the appropriate committees of Congress concerning the coordination of 
federal HIV programs across HHS (42 U.S.C. 300ff-81(b)). HRSA uses the 
ADAP Data Report to evaluate the national impact of RWHAP ADAP by 
providing deidentified client-level data on individuals being served, 
services being delivered, and costs associated with these services. The 
client-level data is used to assess the health outcomes of people with 
HIV receiving services through RWHAP ADAP, monitor the use of RWHAP 
ADAP funds in addressing the HIV epidemic and its impact on 
communities, and track progress toward achieving the goals identified 
in ending the HIV epidemic in the United States.
    Likely Respondents: State ADAPs of RWHAP Part 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 use 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.

    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.
