Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 192 / Thursday, October 3, 2013 / Notices
I. Background
In the Federal Register of July 18,
2013 (78 FR 42963), we published a
notice entitled ‘‘Assessment of the Risk
of Human Salmonellosis Associated
With the Consumption of Tree Nuts;
Request for Comments, Scientific Data
and Information.’’ The notice provided
a 90-day comment period for comments,
scientific data, and information relevant
to conducting an assessment of the risk
of human salmonellosis associated with
the consumption of tree nuts.
We have received three requests for
an extension of the comment period for
the notice. Each request conveyed
concern that the current 90-day
comment period is not adequate to
develop a response to the notice.
We have considered these requests
and are extending the comment period
for the notice for 60 days, until
December 16, 2013. We believe that a
60-day extension allows adequate time
for interested persons to submit
comments, scientific data, and
information without significantly
delaying the risk assessment.
II. Comments
Interested persons may submit either
electronic comments and scientific data
and information to https://
www.regulations.gov or written
comments and scientific data and
information to the Division of Dockets
Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only
necessary to send one set of comments.
Identify comments with the docket
number found in brackets in the
heading of this document. Received
comments may be seen in the Division
of Dockets Management between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
will be posted to the docket at https://
www.regulations.gov.
Dated: September 27, 2013.

Assistant Commissioner for Policy.

Information Collection Request Title:
Understanding and Monitoring Funding
Streams in Ryan White Clinics.
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—New.
Abstract: The HRSA’s HIV/AIDS
Bureau (HAB) administers the Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
authorized under Title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act as amended
by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Extension Act of 2009. Established in
1990, the RWHAP is a federally funded
program designed to provide HIVrelated medical care and treatment as
well as support service for individuals
and families affected by the disease who
are uninsured or underinsured. The
Program consists of several ‘‘Parts,’’
corresponding to sections of the statute,
through which funding is provided to
states, cities, providers, and other
organizations. Part A provides
emergency relief for areas with
substantial need for HIV/AIDS care and
support services that are most severely
affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic,
including eligible metropolitan areas
(EMAs) and transitional grant areas
(TGAs). Part B provides grants to states
and U.S. territories to improve the
quality, availability, and organization of
HIV/AIDS health care and support
services. Part B grants include a base
grant; the AIDS Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP) award; ADAP
Supplemental Drug Treatment Program
funds; and supplemental grants to states
with ‘‘emerging communities,’’ defined
as jurisdictions reporting between 500
and 999 cumulative AIDS cases over the
most recent 5 years. The Part C Early
Intervention Services (EIS) component
of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
funds comprehensive primary health

care in outpatient settings for people
living with HIV disease. Part D grantees
provide outpatient or ambulatory
family-centered primary medical care
for women, infants, children, and youth
with HIV/AIDS.
In 2010, the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (ACA) was enacted
into law. The ACA is expansive and will
likely impact the RWHAP. Some of the
reforms have already been implemented
(including the creation of Pre-Existing
Insurance Plans) and the barring of
insurance carriers from denying
coverage to children with pre-existing
conditions such as HIV/AIDS,
cancelling coverage for adults with
health conditions because of
unintentional mistakes on the
application, and imposing lifetime
dollar caps on essential health benefits.
Effective January 2014, states will have
the option to expand Medicaid to
individuals younger than 65 years of age
with incomes up to 133 percent of the
federal poverty level (FPL). On October
1, 2013, insurance marketplaces
(exchanges) from which individuals can
purchase health insurance will begin
open enrollment, with coverage to begin
as early as January 1, 2014. Individuals
with incomes from up to 400 percent
FPL may be eligible for tax credits to
reduce premium costs. Individuals with
lower incomes may also be eligible for
reductions in cost-sharing.
The proposed study will provide HAB
and policymakers with a better
understanding of how the RWHAP
currently provides primary outpatient
health care and essential support
services to both uninsured and
underinsured clients. It will identify
what types of core medical services and
subservices, and support services are
currently not covered or not fully
covered by Medicaid, Medicare, and
private insurance, which are needed to
provide high quality HIV/AIDS care.
The study also will provide information
on how grantees monitor patient
