SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the information request collection title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Updates to Uniform Standard for Waiver of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Core Medical Services Expenditure Requirement, OMB No. 0906–XXXX– NEW. Abstract: In accordance with sections 2604(c), 2612(b), and 2651(c) of the Public Health Service Act, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) recipients ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 46855 are required to spend not less than 75 percent of grant funds on core medical services for individuals with HIV identified and eligible under the statute, after reserving statutory permissible amounts for administrative and clinical quality management costs. The RWHAP statute also grants the Secretary authority to waive this requirement for RWHAP Parts A, B, or C recipients if a number of requirements are met and a waiver request is submitted to HRSA for approval. RWHAP Part A, B, and C core medical services waiver requests—if approved—are effective for a 1-year budget period, and apply to funds awarded under the Minority AIDS Initiative. Currently, for a core medical services waiver request to be approved, (1) core medical services must be available and accessible to all individuals identified and eligible for the RWHAP in the recipient’s service area within 30 days, without regard to payer source; (2) there cannot be any AIDS Drug Assistance Program waiting lists in the recipient’s service area; and (3) a public process to obtain input on the waiver request from impacted communities, including clients and RWHAP-funded core medical services providers, on the availability of core medical services and the decision to request the waiver must have occurred. The public process may be a part of the same one used to seek input on community needs as part of the annual priority setting and resource allocation, comprehensive planning, statewide coordinated statement of need, public planning, and/or needs assessment processes. HRSA is proposing to simplify the waiver request process for RWHAP Parts A, B, and C recipients by revising Policy Number 13–07: Uniform Standard for Waiver of Core Medical Services Requirement for Grantees Under Part, A, B, and C. The proposed changes would reduce the administrative burden for recipients by lessening the documentation they must submit to HRSA when requesting a waiver. Under the proposed policy, recipients would be required to submit a one-page ‘‘HRSA RWHAP Core Medical Services Waiver Request Attestation Form’’ to HRSA in lieu of the multiple documents, including but not limited to a narrative of up to 10 pages currently required to submit a waiver request. Waiver request submission deadlines would also be revised. When finalized, the policy would replace HAB Policy Number 13– 07 effective October 1, 2021, and would be named ‘‘Waiver of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Core Medical Services Expenditure Requirement.’’ E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
