Information Collection Request Title:
Special Study—Emerging issues related
to Affordable Care Act (ACA)
Implementation: The future of Ryan
White Services: A Snapshot of
Outpatient Ambulatory Medical Care
OMB No. 0915–xxxx—NEW.
Abstract: The Health Resources and
Services Administration, HIV/AIDS
Bureau (HRSA/HAB) implements the
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
(RWHAP). This program provides HIVrelated services in the United States for
those who do not have sufficient health
care coverage or financial resources for
coping with HIV disease. Starting
January 1, 2014, the ACA began making
health care coverage available to many
HIV-positive individuals who did not
previously have access to such coverage.
This ACA expansion of health coverage
will impact a significant portion of Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program’s (RWHAP)
traditional clients who will be moving
into third party reimbursement care.
The transition will require increased
support and coordination to ensure
clients do not experience gaps in
coverage, or gaps in care. The purpose
of this evaluation study is to assess the
current status of Ryan White services
during the early and later stages of ACA
DATES:
implementation and to collect
information on service provisions,
quality of care, barriers, gaps, and
challenges related to ACA
implementation.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The ACA will offer new
options for obtaining health care
services for many individuals with HIV.
Due to these changes, additional
information concerning staffing,
continuity and coordination of care, and
utilization of RWHAP funds to provide
essential services is necessary. Data
from this evaluation study will be used
to assess the current status of Ryan
White services during the early (January
2014 to June 2014) and later (July 2014
to December 2014) stages of ACA
implementation and how well the
RWHAP is positioned to improve
clinical outcomes, including viral
suppression, retention to care, and
linkage to care services.
Likely Respondents: HIV Providers
and Administrators from RWHAPfunded facilities.
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
summarized in the table below.

Appendix 2), which sets forth standards
for the formation and use of advisory
committees.
The ACOT advises the Secretary on
all aspects of organ procurement,
allocation, and transplantation, and on
other such matters that the Secretary
determines. One of its principal
functions is to advise the Secretary on
federal efforts to maximize the number
of deceased donor organs made
available for transplantation and to
support the safety of living organ
donation.
The ACOT consists of up to 25
members who are Special Government
Employees, and 5 ex-officio, non-voting
members. Members and the Chair shall
be appointed by the Secretary from
individuals knowledgeable in such
fields as deceased and living organ
donation, health care public policy,
transplantation medicine and surgery,
critical care medicine and other medical
specialties involved in the identification
and referral of donors, non-physician
transplant professions, nursing,
epidemiology, immunology, law and
bioethics, behavioral sciences,
economics and statistics, as well as
representatives of transplant candidates,
transplant recipients, living organ
donors, and family members of
deceased and living organ donors.
Members shall not serve while they are
also serving on the OPTN Board of
Directors. To the extent practicable,
Committee members should represent
minority, gender, and geographic
diversity of transplant candidates,
transplant recipients, organ donors, and
family members served by the OPTN.
The ex-officio, non-voting members
shall include the Directors of the
National Institutes of Health, the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, and the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality; the

The Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) will consider
nominations of all qualified individuals
with a view to ensuring that the ACOT
includes the areas of subject matter
expertise noted above. Individuals may
nominate themselves or other
individuals, and professional
associations and organizations may
nominate one or more qualified persons
for membership on the ACOT.
Nominations shall state that the
nominee is willing to serve as a member
of the ACOT and appears to have no
conflict of interest that would preclude
the ACOT membership. Potential
candidates will be asked to provide
detailed information concerning
financial interests, consultancies,
research grants, and/or contracts that
might be affected by recommendations
of the ACOT to permit evaluation of
possible sources of conflicts of interest.
A nomination package should include
the following information for each
nominee: (1) A letter of nomination
stating the name, affiliation, and contact
information for the nominee, the basis
for the nomination (i.e., what specific
attributes, perspectives, and/or skills

benefit the workings of ACOT), and the
nominee’s field(s) of expertise; (2) a
biographical sketch of the nominee and
a copy of his/her curriculum vitae; and
(3) the name, address, daytime
