Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2013 / Notices
examine 1115 Medicaid waivers that
have expanded eligibility to include
specifically people living with HIV/
AIDS (PLWH) who are not otherwise
eligible for Medicaid services. Since
1990, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) has provided
funding for primary care, medications,
and support services for PLWH, helping
fill the health care and service gap for
those who are uninsured or ineligible
for Medicaid.
As part of this project, case studies
will be conducted in eight states that
have implemented 1115 Medicaid
waivers to expand Medicaid eligibility
for PLWH. The case studies will include
site visits and discussions with the state
Medicaid programs and with RWHAP
grantees and service providers to
examine the waivers and their impact
on PLWH. In addition, the studies will
explore whether and how the 1115
Medicaid waivers have helped states
and RWHAP grantees and providers
prepare for implementation of the
Affordable Care Act, including
providing insights into Medicaid
expansion.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Given the important role of
the RWHAP and Medicaid in meeting
the health care needs of PLWH, there is
a need to understand better, how
Medicaid expansion and the 1115
Medicaid waivers will affect the
RWHAP and how the waivers have
prepared states for implementation of
the Affordable Care Act.
Likely Respondents: Data will be
collected through qualitative interviews,
guided by discussion tools with
questions tailored for four specific
groups of individuals from: (1) State
Medicaid agencies; (2) RWHAP Part B
grantees and service providers; (3)
RWHAP Part A grantees and service
providers; and (4) and RWHAP White
Part C grantees and clinical providers.
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are

eligibility criteria to demonstrate that
the program has achieved success based
on the number and/or percentage of
disadvantaged students who graduate
from the school. In awarding SDS funds
to eligible schools, funding points must
be given to schools based on the
proportion of graduating students going
into primary care, the proportion of
underrepresented minority students,
and the proportion of graduates working
in medically underserved communities
(section 737(c) of the PHS Act).
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
