and principal subdivision names that
vary from those approved by the BGN.
The geopolitical entities included in
ISO 3166 are those that are recognized
by the United Nations. Therefore, GENC
is the U.S. Government implementation
of ISO 3166 that conforms to BGN and
U.S. Government recognition policy and
will enable FDA to be in conformance
with U.S. Government naming and
recognition policies. The GENC
Standard is specified by the
combination of a stable information
design document and information
content consisting of dynamically
managed entries in the GENC Registry.
In accordance with OMB Circular A–
119 (https://obamawhitehouse.archives
.gov/omb/circulars_a119_a119fr),
Federal Agencies are directed to use
voluntary consensus standards in lieu of
government-unique standards except
when inconsistent with law or
otherwise impractical. ISO 3166 is the
base standard for the profile that is the
GENC Standard. The GENC Standard
asserts both restrictions to, and
extensions of, the ISO 3166 base
standard; it is a Class 2 profile in
accordance with the provisions of ISO
19106 (https://www.iso.org/standard/
26011.html). Information regarding the
development of the GENC Standard can
be found at https://nsgreg.nga.mil/
geopoliticalCode.jsp. Frequently asked
questions regarding the content and use
of the GENC Standard can be found at
https://nsgreg.nga.mil/genc/faq.jsp?
register=0.
The information content of the GENC
Standard is specified with respect to
ISO 3166 (Parts 1 and 2). Entries of the
GENC Standard are based on either
direct reuse of ISO 3166 code elements
or a type of variation from that standard
(Exclusion, Exception, Extension, or
Exigent) based on U.S. government
requirements. In the case of Exceptions,
the codes do not differ from ISO 3166.
Exceptions are based on differences in
naming (some politically significant,
others simply stylistic) as approved by
the BGN, or differences in how the
territorial extent of an entity is
understood. GENC Extensions introduce
entities not included in ISO 3166.
Entries from ISO 3166 that are excluded
from the GENC Standard may be
browsed in the GENC Registry.
Infrequently, ISO 3166–1 code
elements for a given country name are
revised for reasons that are not related
to a change in the country name itself.
Consequently, a given country name
may be assigned differing code element
values over time. To enable information
systems to easily recognize these
occasions, a file specifying country code
element correspondences is maintained

in the NSG-unique Standards Register
(https://nsgreg.nga.mil/doc/
view?i=2563).
For those occasions when it may be
necessary to reference the names of
countries that are not included in the
content of the GENC Standard because
of the disestablishment of those
countries before the initial publication
of the GENC, the Codes for Historical
Country Names information guidance
document specifies applicable codes
and their corresponding names for use
in ‘‘country coding’’ such data (this
information can be found at https://
nsgreg.nga.mil/doc/view?i=2565).
While FDA currently supports the
GENC standard, the FDA Data Standards
Catalog will be updated to announce an
implementation date of December 17,
2020, for GENC. After receiving
comments, the Agency may consider
further actions regarding the adoption of
the GENC standard and/or its planned
implementation date.
Dated: July 15, 2019.

Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A
and B Unobligated Balances and Rebate
Addendum Tables, OMB No. 0906–
xxxx–New.
Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states and
territories, and local clinics/communitybased organizations to deliver efficient
and effective HIV care, treatment, and
support to low-income people
diagnosed with HIV. Nearly two-thirds
of RWHAP clients live at or below 100
percent of the federal poverty level and
approximately three-quarters of RWHAP
clients are racial and ethnic minorities.
Since 1990, RWHAP has developed a
comprehensive system of HIV service
providers who deliver high quality
direct health care and support services
to over half a million people diagnosed
with HIV (more than 50 percent of all
people diagnosed with HIV in the
United States).
Grant recipients funded under Parts
A, B, C, and D of RWHAP (codified
under Title XXVI of the Public Health
Service Act) are required to report
financial data to HRSA at the beginning
(Allocations Report) and at the end of
each grant budget period (Expenditures
Report) using the HRSA Electronic
Handbooks (EHBs).1 HRSA RWHAP’s
Parts A and B collect unobligated
balances (UOB) of federal funds and
rebate addendum information by
subprogram from their grant recipients.
Parts A and B use the UOB and rebate
addendum financial information to
determine formula funding as directed
by RWHAP statute. These data were
collected when grant recipients
submitted their annual Federal
Financial Report (FFR SF–425) in hard
copy only, and submitted to the
individual HHS Operating Divisions
(OPDIVs). HRSA combined the FFR SF–
425 with the UOB and rebate addendum
1 The Allocations Report and the Expenditures
Report were approved by OMB under the 0915–
0318 control number.

tables using a suggested format through
the HRSA EHBs. This financial
information is collected in the same
location to streamline the process for
the grant recipients. The UOB and
rebate addendum data tables will be
collected in the HRSA EHBs below the
FFR SF–425 control number and the
Paperwork Burden Statement.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: RWHAP Part A and Part B
recipients currently complete the UOB
and rebate addendum tables in a nonelectronic form and upload them as
attachments as a part of their FFR SF–
425 submission. This new process will
decrease administrative burden,
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.
increase transparency, and improve the
quality of the data submitted to HRSA.
UOB and rebate addendum tables are
essential for allowing HRSA to ensure
that RWHAP recipients are meeting the
goal of accountability to Congress,
clients, advocacy groups, and the
general public. Information provided in
the UOB and rebate addendum tables is
critical for HRSA, states and territories,
local clinics, and individual providers
to evaluate the effectiveness of these
programs.

Title of the Collections: Application
for Federal Assistance—Individual.
Type of Collection: Extension.
OMB No.: 4040–0005.
Abstract: The Application for Federal
Assistance—Individual form provides
the Federal grant-making agencies an
alternative to the Standard Form 424
data set and form. Agencies may use the
Application for Federal Assistance—
Individual form for grant programs not
required to collect all the data that is
required on the SF–424 core data set
and form. The IC expires on 10/31/2019.
We are seeking an extension of this
information collection and a three-year
clearance.
