RHND funded programs promote
population health management and the
transition towards value based care
through diverse network membership
that include traditional and nontraditional network partners
collaborating to address the local
healthcare needs of the targeted
community. Evidence of program
effectiveness demonstrated by outcome
data and program sustainability are
integral components of the program.
This is a three-year competitive program
for mature networks composed of at
least three members that are separate,
existing health care providers entities.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: For this program,
performance measures provide data to
program staff and enable HRSA to
provide aggregate program data. These
measures cover the principal topic areas
of interest to the Federal Office of Rural
Health Policy, including: (a) Network
infrastructure; (b) sustainability; (c)
community impact; and (d) access and
quality of healthcare.
For this revised ICR, there are
proposed changes to several measures
that include network infrastructure,
sustainability, community impact, and
access and quality of healthcare.
Likely Respondents: The respondents
are the RHND Program grant recipients.
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.

Information Collection Request Title:
Client-Level Data Reporting System
OMB No. 0906–XXXX—New.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program’s (RWHAP) client-level data
reporting system, entitled the RWHAP
Services Report or the Ryan White
Services Report (RSR), is designed to
collect information from grant
recipients, as well as their
subcontracted service providers, funded
under Parts A, B, C, and D of the
RWHAP legislation. The RWHAP,
authorized under Title XXVI of the
Public Health Service Act, as amended
by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment
Extension Act of 2009, is administered
by the HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) within
the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA). The RWHAP
awards funding to recipients to respond
effectively to the changing HIV
epidemic, with an emphasis on
providing life-saving and life-extending
services for people living with HIV in
the United States, as well as to target
resources to areas that have the greatest
needs.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: All Parts of the RWHAP
specify HRSA’s responsibilities in
administering grant funds, allocating
funding, assessing HIV care outcomes
(e.g., viral suppression) and populations
served. The RSR will collect data on the
characteristics of RWHAP-funded
recipients, their contracted service
providers, and the patients or clients
served. The RSR system will consist of
two online data forms, the Recipient
E:\FR\FM\27NON1.SGM
27NON1
56040
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 226 / Monday, November 27, 2017 / Notices
Report and the Service Provider Report,
as well as a data file containing the
client-level data elements. Data will be
submitted annually. The RWHAP
statute specifies the importance of
recipient accountability and linking
performance to budget. The RSR will be
used to ensure recipient compliance
with the law, including evaluating the
effectiveness of programs, monitoring
recipient and provider performance, and
informing annual reports to Congress.
Information collected through the RSR
will be critical for HRSA, state and local
grant recipients, and individual
providers to assess the status of existing
HIV-related service delivery systems,
assess trends in service utilization,
assess the impact of data reporting and
identify areas of greatest need.
This new ICR is being developed to
replace the existing ICR (OMB control
number 0915–0323), for which HRSA
has collected RSR data since 2009.
These revisions will account for
significant modifications to several
variables within the client report and
XML file, which will improve data
quality and align data collection efforts
with recent Policy Clarification Notices
(PCN 16–02). HRSA will continue to
collect and report the client-level data
elements supplied by the existing ICR
through 2019. In 2019, the existing ICR
will expire and HRSA will collect and
report on the data elements defined in
the new ICR. While there will be no
overlap in the data collected and
reported between the existing and new
ICR, HRSA is submitting this new ICR
in tandem with the existing ICR to allow
recipients the ability to make
modifications to their RSR systems
between the two reporting periods, and
continue to collect and report on both
the old and new variables without
interruption.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A,
Part B, Part C, and Part D recipients and
their contracted service 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

personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review

information. The total annual burden
