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 (OMB), 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 OMB for review under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report: Data 
Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--Revision

    The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report, formerly called 
the CARE Act Data Report (CADR), was first implemented in 2002 by 
HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. It has undergone revisions to incorporate the 
legislative changes that occurred in 2006. Grantees and their 
subcontracted service providers who are funded under Parts A, B, C, and 
D of Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the 
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006, (Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program), fill out the report. All Parts of the Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program specify HRSA's responsibilities in the administration 
of grant funds, the allocation of funds, the evaluation of programs for 
the population served, and the improvement of the quantity and quality 
of care. Accurate records of the providers receiving Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Funding, the services provided, and the clients served, 
continue to be critical to the implementation of the legislation and 
thus are necessary for HRSA to fulfill its responsibilities. Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program Grantees are required to report aggregate data to HRSA 
annually. The Data Report form is filled out by grantees and their 
subcontracted service providers. The report has seven different 
sections containing demographic information about the service 
providers, as well as the clients served, information about the type of 
core and support services provided, as well as the number of clients 
served, information about counseling and testing services, clinical 
information about the clients served, demographic tables for Parts C 
and D, and information about the Health Insurance Program. The primary 
purposes of the Data Report are to: (1) Characterize the organizations 
where clients receive services; (2) provide information on the number 
and characteristics of clients who receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 
Services; and (3) enable HAB to describe the type and amount of 
services a client receives. In addition to meeting the goal of 
accountability to the Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the 
general public, information collected on the Data Report is critical 
for HRSA, State, and local grantees, and individual providers to assess 
the status of existing HIV-related service delivery systems.
    The response burden for grantees is estimated as:
