Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program Core Medical Services Waiver Application Requirements (OMB No. 0915–0307)—Extension HRSA utilizes standards for granting waivers of the core medical services requirement for the Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program. These standards meet the intent of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to increase access to core medical services, including antiretroviral drugs, for persons with HIV/AIDS and to ensure that grantees receiving waivers demonstrate the availability of such services for individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act. The core medical services waiver uniform standard and waiver request process will apply to Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program Grant awards under Parts A, B, and C of Title XXVI of the PHS Act. Core medical services waivers will be effective for a 1-year period that is consistent with the grant award period. Title XXVI, Section 2671 of the PHS Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, Public Law 111–87, (Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), requires that grantees expend 75 percent of Parts A, B, and C funds on core medical services, including antiretroviral drugs, for individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under the legislation. In order for grantees under Parts A, B, and C to be exempt from the 75 percent core medical services requirement, they must request and receive a waiver from HRSA. Grantees must submit the waiver request with the annual grant application that includes the certifications and documentation which will be utilized by HRSA in making determinations regarding waiver requests. Grantees must provide evidence that all of the core medical services listed in the statute, regardless of whether such services are funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, are available to all individuals with HIV/ AIDS who are identified and eligible under Title XXVI of the PHS Act in the service area within 30 days.

Proposed Project: Healthy Weight Collaborative (OMB No. 0915–NEW)— [NEW]. Background: The mission of the Healthy Weight Collaborative (HWC) is to discover, identify, develop, and disseminate both evidence-based and promising clinical and communitybased interventions to prevent and treat obesity. The HWC was funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration under Title V, Section 501(a)(2) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 701(a)(2)) and Section 4002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148). The goal of the HWC is to value and leverage each community team’s strengths, networks, grantees, and expertise towards the common goal of promoting healthy weight for all populations, especially those at high risk for overweight and obesity. The HWC is modeled after the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Collaborative Model for achieving breakthrough improvement. Also known as the Breakthrough Series, this model was developed in 1996 to help healthcare organizations make breakthrough improvements in quality Number of respondents Instrument Responses per respondent while reducing costs. This model is designed to close the gap between science and practice by creating a structure in which organizations can easily learn from each other and from recognized experts in topic areas in which they want to make quality improvements. Approximately 50 community teams will be recruited to participate in the HWC. The intended beneficiaries of this program are children and their families, and teams in the HWC can include health departments, community-based organizations, HRSA and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) grantees; especially safety net providers and other stakeholders in the HRSA and HHS program network. Teams will be asked to report on non-personally identifiable aggregate information from clinical and public health or community interventions related to four domains, including clinical and public health: • Body Mass Index (BMI), collected from an electronic health record. • Nutrition, which includes measures related to change in knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and consumption. • Physical Activity, which includes measures related to change in knowledge, attitudes, behavior, and levels of activity. • Partnerships and Process Improvement, which includes measures related to linkages made between clinical and community-based or public health programs, increased efficiencies related to these linkages, and the number of people served by these linkages.

Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Core Medical Services 
Waiver Application Requirements (OMB No. 0915-0307)--Extension

    HRSA utilizes standards for granting waivers of the core medical 
services requirement for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program. These 
standards meet the intent of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program to 
increase access to core medical services, including antiretroviral 
drugs, for persons with HIV/AIDS and to ensure that grantees receiving 
waivers demonstrate the availability of such services for individuals 
with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under Title XXVI of the 
Public Health Service (PHS) Act. The core medical services waiver 
uniform standard and waiver request process will apply to Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program Grant awards under Parts A, B, and C of Title XXVI of 
the PHS Act. Core medical services waivers will be effective for a 1-
year period that is consistent with the grant award period.
    Title XXVI, Section 2671 of the PHS Act, as amended by the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009, Public Law 111-87, 
(Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), requires that grantees expend 75 percent 
of Parts A, B, and C funds on core medical services, including 
antiretroviral drugs, for individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified 
and eligible under the legislation. In order for grantees under Parts 
A, B, and C to be exempt from the 75 percent core medical services 
requirement, they must request and receive a waiver from HRSA.
    Grantees must submit the waiver request with the annual grant 
application that includes the certifications and documentation which 
will be utilized by HRSA in making determinations regarding waiver 
requests. Grantees must provide evidence that all of the core medical 
services listed in the statute, regardless of whether such services are 
funded by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, are available to all 
individuals with HIV/AIDS who are identified and eligible under Title 
XXVI of the PHS Act in the service area within 30 days.
    The annual estimate of burden is as follows:
