SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the information collection request title for reference, pursuant to Section 3506(c)(2)(A), the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program ClientSUMMARY: Level Data Reporting System: OMB No. 0906–0039—Extension. Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP), authorized under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, is administered by HRSA’s HIV/ AIDS Bureau. HRSA awards funding to recipients in areas of the greatest need to respond effectively to the changing HIV epidemic, with an emphasis on providing life-saving and life-extending medical care, treatment, and support services for people living with HIV in the United States. RWHAP reporting requirements include the annual submission of clientlevel data in the RWHAP Services Report (RSR). RSR collects information from grant recipients and their subcontracted service providers, funded under Parts A, B, C, and D of the RWHAP legislation. HRSA is requesting an extension of the current RSR with no changes. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: RWHAP legislation specifies HRSA’s responsibilities in administering grant funds, allocating funding, assessing HIV care outcomes (e.g., viral suppression), and serving particular populations. RSR collects data on the characteristics of RWHAPfunded recipients, their contracted service providers, and the patients or clients served. RSR system consists of two primary components, the Recipient Report and the Provider Report, and a data file containing the client-level data elements. Data is submitted annually. RWHAP legislation specifies the importance of recipient accountability and linking performance to budget. RSR is 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 is 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. Likely Respondents: RWHAP grant recipients, as well as their subcontracted service providers, funded under RWHAP parts A, B, C, and D. 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.

Coast Guard, Homeland Security (DHS). ACTION: Notice of policy. AGENCY: The Coast Guard announces the availability of CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21, titled ‘‘Guidance on Voluntary Compliance with Training Requirements for Personnel Serving on U.S.-flagged Passenger Ships that Carry More than 12 Passengers on International Voyages.’’ This policy provides guidance to passenger vessel owners and operators on voluntary compliance with the 2016 amendments to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW Convention) and the Seafarers’ Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code). Vessels may be subject to detentions in foreign ports if personnel have not received appropriate training in accordance with the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. DATES: CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21 was issued August 05, 2021. ADDRESSES: Policy Letter 02–21 is available in docket number USCG– 2021–0406 on https:// www.regulations.gov. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: For information about this policy, contact FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:11 Aug 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 Megan Johns Henry, U.S. Coast Guard Office of Merchant Mariner Credentialing Maritime Personnel Qualifications Division (CG–MMC–1); telephone (202) 372–1255, email Megan.C.Johns@uscg.mil. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) establishes the minimum international standards of competence including training requirements for mariners and maritime personnel through the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW Convention) and the Seafarers’ Training, Certification and Watchkeeping Code (STCW Code). In 2016, the IMO adopted amendments to the STCW Convention and the STCW Code expanding the existing training requirements for personnel on passenger vessels. These amendments entered into force on July 1, 2018. These amendments have not been codified into national regulations at this time. However, because the United States is signatory to the STCW Convention, vessel owners and operators should be aware that their vessels are subject to foreign port state control actions, including detention, if mariners are not compliant with the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. The Coast Guard has issued CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21 to provide guidance to passenger vessel owners and operators on voluntary compliance with the 2016 amendments to the STCW Convention and the STCW Code. The Coast Guard will not issue endorsements related to the training of personnel on passenger vessels. CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21 is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements, nor is it itself a rule. The Coast Guard does not currently require any mariner to meet the training requirements in CG–MMC Policy Letter 02–21, paragraphs 4. a. (i) and (ii), in other words, it is possible to comply with U.S. domestic legal obligations without undertaking the specific trainings. Before creating any such requirement, the Coast Guard would undertake a separate rulemaking. We issue this notice of availability in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and under the authority of 46 U.S.C. 7101 and 7313. If you have questions about the policy letter, or believe that changes are necessary, please contact the person in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. Dated: August 6, 2021.
