Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of 
2006: Data Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--Extension

    The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report (or the Ryan 
White Data Report, formerly called the CARE Act Data Report [CADR]) was 
initially created in 1999 by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. Grantees and their 
subcontracted service providers who are funded under Parts A, B, C, and 
D, and the Part F Minority AIDS Initiative of Title XXVI of the Public 
Health Service Act (the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), submit the 
report, which has been revised to more closely resemble the data 
requested in the client-level data collection instrument that these 
grantees and providers are now also required to submit. 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. Because client-level data reporting 
requirements are relatively new for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program 
grantees, the grantees are still required to report aggregate data in 
the Ryan White Data Report to HRSA annually. The more mature aggregate 
reporting requirements provide accurate records of the providers 
receiving Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, the services provided, 
and the clients served, which continue to be critical to the 
implementation of the legislation and necessary for HRSA to fulfill its 
responsibilities. The Ryan White Data Report has seven different 
sections containing information about the service providers; 
demographic information about the clients served; information about the 
type of core and support services provided and the number of clients 
served; information about counseling and testing services; clinical 
information about clients who received outpatient/ambulatory medical 
care; demographic tables for Parts C and D; and information about 
health insurance services.
    The primary purposes of the Ryan White 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 Congress, clients, advocacy 
groups, and the general public, information collected in the Ryan White 
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:
