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:

Proposed Project: A Study To Review Activities Conducted To Assess 
Client Satisfaction With HIV/AIDS-related Clinical and Support 
Services--

    New--A mail survey will be conducted of two groups: grantees that 
are currently funded under the Ryan White CARE Act (RWCA); and a 
purposive sample of 50 organizations that provide services to people 
with HIV/AIDS but are not currently funded under the RWCA. This second 
group of participants will be selected from the National Association of 
People With AIDS database.
    The survey will collect information about the evaluation/tracking 
activities that were implemented from 1991 to 1996 to assess consumer/
client satisfaction with services. The purpose of this study is to find 
out what types of evaluation/tracking activities have been implemented, 
and to identify gaps within these activities. The study will also 
identify ``model'' evaluation/tracking activities that have assessed 
consumer/client satisfaction and implemented findings to improve HIV/
AIDS-related services, and consequently, have improved consumer/client 
satisfaction.
    The study's final report will include a description of evaluation/
tracking activities among organizations that provide services to people 
with HIV/AIDS and in-depth case studies of three model evaluations/
tracking activities that can be easily replicated and used by other 
projects. The report will be disseminated to program-level and project-
level officers as a guide on how to develop and implement effective 
evaluation/tracking activities on consumer/client satisfaction.
    Estimates of respondent burden for the survey are as follows:
