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 the Office of 
Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995:

Proposed Project: HRSA AIDS Drug Assistance Program Quarterly Report--
(OMB No. 0915-0295): Revision

    HRSA's AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is funded through Part B 
of Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 2006 (The Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program), which provides grants to States and Territories. The 
ADAP provides medications for the treatment of HIV disease. Program 
funds may also be used to purchase health insurance for eligible 
clients or for services that enhance access, adherence, and monitoring 
of drug treatments.
    Each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and 
several Territories receive ADAP grants. As part of the funding 
requirements, ADAP grantees submit quarterly reports that include 
information on patients served, pharmaceuticals prescribed, pricing, 
and other sources of support to provide AIDS medication treatment, 
eligibility requirements, cost data, and coordination with Medicaid. 
Each quarterly report requests updates from programs on number of 
patients served, type of pharmaceuticals prescribed, and prices paid to 
provide medication. The first quarterly report of each ADAP fiscal year 
(due in July of each year) also requests information that only changes 
annually (e.g., State funding, drug formulary, eligibility criteria for 
enrollment, and cost-saving strategies including coordinating with 
Medicaid).
    The quarterly report represents the best method for HRSA to 
determine how ADAP grants are being expended and to provide answers to 
requests from Congress and other organizations.
    The estimated annual burden is as follows:
