DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a
copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the
HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 443-1129.
The following request has been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995:
2. Annual Administrative Reports for Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS
Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990, Titles I and II--Extension and
Revision--The Annual Administrative Reports (AAR) are submitted by
grantees funded under Titles I and II of the Ryan White CARE Act of
1990 (as amended by the CARE Act amendments of 1996) and include
aggregate information about disbursal of funds, number of clients
served and services provided, demographic information about clients
served, and costs of provided services. Title I grantees include local
governments that meet legislative criteria for disproportionate impact
of AIDS. Title II grantees include the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, and a small number of territories. Grantees obtain the
information for the AAR from individual service providers. Automated
reporting alternatives are available to grantees and to providers at
the grantee's option. This information is used to determine whether the
purposes of the Act and the grants made pursuant to it are being
fulfilled. The information is also used locally for planning and
priority setting. Respondents include state and local governments,
[[Page 51459]]
individuals, non-profit institutions, businesses and other for-profit
organizations, and small businesses and entities. HRSA proposes to make
some changes in the data elements, to improve their value and/or reduce
the burden of data collection and reporting. To allow adequate lead
time, the changes for most of the forms would be effective for data
collection by service providers beginning in January, 1998; the changes
to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Annual Administrative Report
would be effective for reports submitted in March 1997.
The annual burden estimates are as follows:
