FDA’s burden estimate is based on prior experience with research that is similar to this proposed study. Applying assumptions from previous experience in conducting similar studies, approximately 150 youth and 150 young adults would take the eligibility screener, which is estimated to take 5 minutes to read and respond. An estimated 75 parents of youth participants will provide parental permission and schedule a site visit (10 minutes total); and an estimated 50 young adults will schedule a site visit (5 minutes). Finally, approximately 50 youth and 50 young adults will complete an in-person study visit that consists of the consent/assent (5 minutes) and complete the main study (85 minutes) to yield the desired sample size of 100 total. The total estimated burden for the data collection is 193 hours. Table 1 details these estimates. Dated: November 16, 2022. Lauren K. Roth, Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Prior to submitting the ICR to OMB, HRSA seeks comments from the public regarding the burden estimate, below, or any other aspect of the ICR. DATES: Comments on this ICR should be received no later than January 23, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: When submitting comments or requesting information, please include the information request collection title for reference. Information Collection Request Title: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program: Allocations Forms, OMB No. 0915– 0318—Revision. Abstract: HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) authorized under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009. The RWHAP Allocations and Expenditures Reports (A&E Reports) allow HRSA to monitor and track the use of grant funds for compliance with program and grants policies, and requirements as outlined in the legislation. To avoid duplication and reduce recipient reporting burden, HRSA created an electronic grantee SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 71339 contract management system (GCMS) that includes data required for various reports, including the Allocations Reports and other HRSA data reports, such as the RWHAP Services Report. Recipients can access GCMS year-round to upload or manually enter data on their service provider contractors or subrecipients, the RWHAP core medical and support services provided, and their funding amounts. Data required for Allocations Reports and other reports are automatically prepopulated from GCMS. Expenditures Report data are not auto-populated in the GCMS, and are thus still manually entered into the data reporting system. Allocations and Expenditures (A&E) Reports Recipients funded under RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D are required to report financial data to HRSA at the beginning (Allocations Report) and at the end of their grant budget period (Expenditures Report). The A&E Reports request information recipients already collect, including the use of RWHAP grant funds for core medical and support services; and on various program components, such as administration, planning and evaluation, and clinical quality management. RWHAP Parts A and B recipients funded under the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative (EHE) are also required to report EHE services allocations and corresponding EHE award expenditures in the A&E Reports. This allows HRSA to track and report progress toward meeting the EHE goals. The reports are similar in content; however, in the first report, recipients document the allocation of their RWHAP grant award at the beginning of their grant budget period. In the second report, recipients document actual expenditures of their RWHAP grant award (including any carryover dollars) at the end of their grant budget period. HRSA is proposing the following updates to the RWHAP Allocation Reports. RWHAP Part A Allocations Report • Revising row and column headers and other language for clarity and alignment with RWHAP requirements; • Combining the columns for RWHAP Part A Formula and Supplemental Allocation amounts and updating the title; • Moving the RWHAP Part A Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Award Amount row after the RWHAP Part A Supplemental Award Amount row; • Changing the calculation for Service Allocation Subtotal percent in the Total E:\FR\FM\22NON1.SGM 22NON1
