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, as amended by the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 (The Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Program), which provides grants to states and territories. 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, 
sources of support to provide AIDS medication treatment, eligibility 
requirements, cost data, and coordination with Medicaid. Each quarterly 
report requests updates from programs on the 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 coordination with 
Medicaid).
    The quarterly report represents the best method for HRSA to 
determine how ADAP Grants are expended and to provide answers to 
requests from Congress and other organizations.
    The estimated annual burden is as follows:
