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.
A 60-day notice was published in the
Federal Register on July 19, 2019, vol.
84, No. 139; pp. 34903–04. There were
no public comments.
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,
increase transparency, and improve the
quality of data submitted to HRSA.
These 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.
Likely Respondents: HRSA RWHAP
Parts A and B 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Information Collection Request Title:
Chart Abstraction of Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program Recipient Data, OMB No.
0906–xxxx—New.
Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Program (RWHAP) funds and
coordinates with cities, states, and local
clinics/community-based organizations
to deliver efficient and effective HIV
care, treatment, and support to lowincome people with HIV. Nearly twothirds of clients (patients) live at or
below 100 percent of the Federal
poverty level and approximately threequarters of RWHAP clients are racial
and ethnic minorities. Since 1990, the
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 with HIV—
more than 50 percent of all people with
diagnosed HIV in the United States.

Opportunistic Infections in HIVInfected Adults and Adolescents; and
Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Treatment Guidelines, 2015) and U.S.
Preventative Services Task Force
(USPSTF) guidelines serve as the basis
for assessing the quality of care within
the RWHAP. The purpose of the Chart
Abstraction of RWHAP Data study is to
assess the extent to which the care
provided with funding from the
RWHAP is meeting the HHS and
USPSTF guidelines. The study will
collect data from RWHAP service
providers via a provider screening
phone interview, a provider pre-site
visit interview, and medical records
data abstraction. The data will reflect
the full range of HIV outpatient
ambulatory health services, primary
care, and screening and treatment for
hepatitis, sexually transmitted
infections (STIs), and opioid use
disorder provided by service providers
and allow HRSA to assess the extent to
which care provided by RWHAP service
providers meets the HHS and USPSTF
guidelines.

Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: National RWHAP clientlevel data is collected through the
RWHAP Client Level Data Reporting
System. The RWHAP Client Level Data
Reporting System dataset (OMB control
number 0915–0323) is HRSA’s primary
source of annual, client-level data
collected from its nearly 2,000 funded
grant recipients/service providers and
the data have been used to assess the
numbers and types of clients receiving
services and limited HIV outcomes.
However, the RWHAP Client Level Data
Reporting System dataset does not
include relevant data in order to fully
assess the extent to which the care
provided by RWHAP service providers
is meeting the HHS and USPSTF
guidelines. This proposed new
information collection request will
provide the full range of HIV outpatient
ambulatory health services, primary
care, and screening and treatment for
hepatitis, STIs, and opioid use disorder
data and allow HRSA to assess the
extent to which care provided by
RWHAP service providers meets the
HHS and USPSTF guidelines.
Likely Respondents: HRSA RWHAP
Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D service
providers funded to deliver outpatient
ambulatory health services to eligible
clients.
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.
The burden estimate increased by 25
hours (0.5 hour increase for each
medical record data abstraction) to a
total of 225 hours (previous estimate
was 200 hours as published in the 60day notice on May 10, 2019 in Vol. 84,
No. 91, pages 20638–20639). The
burden estimate increased as the result
of a pilot of the data collection forms.

National Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program: Revised Amount of the
Average Cost of a Health Insurance
Policy

HRSA is publishing an
updated monetary amount of the
average cost of a health insurance policy
as it relates to the National Vaccine
Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
SUMMARY:
Section
100.2 of VICP’s implementing regulation
(42 CFR part 100) states that the revised
amount of an average cost of a health
insurance policy, as determined by the
Secretary of HHS (the Secretary), is
effective upon its delivery by the
Secretary to the United States Court of
Federal Claims (the Court), and will be
published periodically in a notice in the
Federal Register. The Secretary
delegated this responsibility to the
HRSA Administrator. This figure is
calculated using the most recent
Medical Expenditure Panel SurveyInsurance Component (MEPS–IC) data
available as the baseline for the average
monthly cost of a health insurance
policy. This baseline is adjusted by the
annual percentage increase/decrease
obtained from the most recent annual
Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF)
Employer Health Benefits Survey or
other authoritative source that may be
more accurate or appropriate.
In 2019, MEPS–IC, available at
www.meps.ahrq.gov, published the
annual 2018 average total single

premium per enrolled employee at
private-sector establishments that
provide health insurance. The figure
published was $6,715. This figure is
divided by 12 months to determine the
cost per month of $559.58. The $559.58
figure is increased or decreased by the
percentage change reported by the most
recent KFF Employer Health Benefits
Survey, available at www.kff.org. The
percentage increase from 2018 to 2019
was 4.0 percent. By adding this
percentage increase, the calculated
average monthly cost of a health
insurance policy for a 12-month period
is $581.96.
Therefore, the Secretary announces
that the revised average cost of a health
insurance policy under the VICP is
$581.96 per month. In accordance with
§ 100.2, the revised amount was
effective upon its delivery by the
Secretary to the Court. Such notice was
delivered to the Court on November 7,
2019.
Dated: November 7, 2019.
Thomas J. Engels,
Acting Administrator.

Likely Respondents: HRSA RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D
service providers funded to deliver outpatient ambulatory health
services to eligible clients.
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

this ICR are summarized in the table below.
The burden estimate increased by 25 hours (0.5 hour increase for
