comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services

accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility,

Proposed Project: HRSA AIDS Drug Assistance Program Quarterly Report--
(OMB No. 0915-0294)--Extension

    HRSA's AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is funded through Part B 
of Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, 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:
