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.
