[Federal Register Volume 72, Number 238 (Wednesday, December 12, 2007)] [Notices] [Page 70601] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: E7-24022] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES 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: Data Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--Revision The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report, formerly called the CARE Act Data Report (CADR), was first implemented in 2002 by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. It has undergone revisions to incorporate the legislative changes that occurred in 2006. 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 Modernization Act of 2006, (Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), fill out 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 Data Report form is filled out by grantees and their subcontracted service providers. The report has seven different sections containing demographic information about the service providers, as well as the clients served, information about the type of core and support services provided, as well as the number of clients served, information about counseling and testing services, clinical information about the clients served, demographic tables for Parts C and D, and 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 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: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------of Program under which grantee is funded Number of Number of hours per Total hour grantees responses response response burden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part A Only............................. 56 1 40 2,240 Part B Only............................. 59 1 40 2,360 Part C Only............................. 361 1 20 7,220 Part D Only............................. 90 1 20 1,800 Subtotal............................ 566 ................ ................ 13,620 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The response burden for service providers is estimated as: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Program under which grantee is funded Number of Number of hours per Total hour providers responses response response burden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part A Only............................. 792 1 26 20,592 Part B Only............................. 653 1 26 16,978 Part C Only............................. 108 1 44 4,752 Part D Only............................. 75 1 42 3,150 Funded under more than one program...... 703 1 50 35,150 Subtotal............................ 2,331 ................ ................ 80,622 Total for Both Grantees & 2,897 ................ ................ 94,242 Providers...................... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to the desk officer for HRSA, either by e-mail to OIRA_ submission@omb.eop.gov or by fax to 202-395-6974.
