Health Resources and Services Administration


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 Form: 
Data Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--Extension

    The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report was first 
implemented in 2002 by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) as the CARE Act 
Data Report (CADR). 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 
Extension Act of 2009 (Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), complete 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 Ryan White 
Data Report (RDR) is completed by grantees and their subcontracted 
service providers. The Report has seven different sections requesting: 
(1) Characteristics of the service providers; (2) demographic 
information about the clients served; (3) information about the type of 
core and support services provided and the number of clients served; 
(4) information about HIV counseling and testing services; (5) clinical 
information about the clients who receive medical care; (6) demographic 
tables for Parts C and D; and (7) 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 
RDR is critical for HRSA, state and local grantees, and individual 
providers to assess the status of existing HIV-related service delivery 
systems.
    The estimated burden is as follows:
