Abstract: HRSA’s Ryan White HIV/ AIDS Program (RWHAP) AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) is authorized under Part B of the RWHAP legislation, codified in sections 2611 to 2631 of the Public Health Service Act, which provides grants to U.S. states and territories. RWHAP ADAP is a state and territory-administered program that provides Food and Drug Administration-approved medications to low-income people with HIV who have limited or no health coverage from private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare. RWHAP ADAP funds may also be used to purchase health care coverage for eligible clients and for services that enhance access, adherence, and monitoring of drug treatments. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the five U.S. Pacific Territories or Associated Jurisdictions receive RWHAP Part B grant awards, including funds for RWHAP ADAP. RWHAP Part B reporting requirements include the annual submission of an ADAP Data Report (ADR), including a Recipient Report and a Client Report. The Recipient Report is a collection of basic information about grant recipient characteristics and policies including program administration, purchasing mechanisms, funding, and expenditures. The Client Report is a collection of client-level records (one record for each client enrolled in the RWHAP ADAP), which includes the client’s encrypted unique identifier, basic demographic data, enrollment information, services received, and clinical data. HRSA is proposing two revisions and one re-installment of questions to the ADR Recipient and Client Reports to reflect program practices and support HRSA’s analysis and understanding of program impact. Specifically, the Recipient Report includes the following proposed changes: • Replacement of the Recertification Date variable with the Last Date of Eligibility Confirmation will remove the previous 6 month recertification requirement, which is no longer required by policy, see Policy Clarification Notice 21–02, and allow Recipients to report the latest eligibility confirmation date for existing clients; • Reinstate a question that was inadvertently removed from the 2021 ADR that is needed to assess the quality of medication data; and • Change the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number variable to Unique Entity Identifier. On April 4, 2022, the federal government stopped using DUNs numbers, making it less burdensome for entities to do business with the federal government. As a result, Recipients no longer have to report the DUNs number in the ADR. HRSA does not anticipate these proposed revisions resulting in a change in the reporting burden. New and revised data elements require reporting of information that should already be collected by recipients to meet legislative or programmatic requirements for the proper oversight and administration of the program. A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on November 9, 2022 (Vol. 87, No. 216, pp. 67702–03). No comments were received. Need and Proposed Use of the Information: RWHAP requires the submission of annual reports by the Secretary of Health and Human Services to the appropriate committees of Congress. HRSA uses the ADR to evaluate the national impact of the RWHAP ADAP by providing deidentified client-level data on individuals being served, services being delivered, and costs associated with these services. The client-level data is used to monitor health outcomes of people with HIV receiving care and treatment through the RWHAP ADAP, to monitor the use of RWHAP ADAP funds in addressing the HIV epidemic and its impact on communities, and to track progress toward achieving the goals identified in the National HIV/ AIDS Strategy. Likely Respondents: State ADAPs of RWHAP Part 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Information Collection Request Title: HRSA AIDS Drug Assistance 
Program

[[Page 6287]]

Data Report, OMB No. 0915-0345 Revision.
    Abstract: HRSA's Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) AIDS Drug 
Assistance Program (ADAP) is authorized under Part B of the RWHAP 
legislation, codified in sections 2611 to 2631 of the Public Health 
Service Act, which provides grants to U.S. states and territories. 
RWHAP ADAP is a state and territory-administered program that provides 
Food and Drug Administration-approved medications to low-income people 
with HIV who have limited or no health coverage from private insurance, 
Medicaid, or Medicare. RWHAP ADAP funds may also be used to purchase 
health care coverage for eligible clients and for services that enhance 
access, adherence, and monitoring of drug treatments.
    All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the 
U.S. Virgin Islands, and the five U.S. Pacific Territories or 
Associated Jurisdictions receive RWHAP Part B grant awards, including 
funds for RWHAP ADAP. RWHAP Part B reporting requirements include the 
annual submission of an ADAP Data Report (ADR), including a Recipient 
Report and a Client Report. The Recipient Report is a collection of 
basic information about grant recipient characteristics and policies 
including program administration, purchasing mechanisms, funding, and 
expenditures. The Client Report is a collection of client-level records 
(one record for each client enrolled in the RWHAP ADAP), which includes 
the client's encrypted unique identifier, basic demographic data, 
enrollment information, services received, and clinical data.
    HRSA is proposing two revisions and one re-installment of questions 
to the ADR Recipient and Client Reports to reflect program practices 
and support HRSA's analysis and understanding of program impact. 
Specifically, the Recipient Report includes the following proposed 
changes:
     Replacement of the Recertification Date variable with the 
Last Date of Eligibility Confirmation will remove the previous 6 month 
recertification requirement, which is no longer required by policy, see 
Policy Clarification Notice 21-02, and allow Recipients to report the 
latest eligibility confirmation date for existing clients;
     Reinstate a question that was inadvertently removed from 
the 2021 ADR that is needed to assess the quality of medication data; 
and
     Change the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number 
variable to Unique Entity Identifier. On April 4, 2022, the federal 
government stopped using DUNs numbers, making it less burdensome for 
entities to do business with the federal government. As a result, 
Recipients no longer have to report the DUNs number in the ADR.
    HRSA does not anticipate these proposed revisions resulting in a 
change in the reporting burden. New and revised data elements require 
reporting of information that should already be collected by recipients 
to meet legislative or programmatic requirements for the proper 
oversight and administration of the program.
    A 60-day notice was published in the Federal Register on November 
9, 2022 (Vol. 87, No. 216, pp. 67702-03). No comments were received.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: RWHAP requires the 
submission of annual reports by the Secretary of Health and Human 
Services to the appropriate committees of Congress. HRSA uses the ADR 
to evaluate the national impact of the RWHAP ADAP by providing 
deidentified client-level data on individuals being served, services 
being delivered, and costs associated with these services. The client-
level data is used to monitor health outcomes of people with HIV 
receiving care and treatment through the RWHAP ADAP, to monitor the use 
of RWHAP ADAP funds in addressing the HIV epidemic and its impact on 
communities, and to track progress toward achieving the goals 
identified in the National HIV/AIDS Strategy.
    Likely Respondents: State ADAPs of RWHAP Part 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 summarized in the table below.

    HRSA specifically requests comments on (1) the necessity and 
utility of the proposed information collection for the proper 
performance of the agency's functions, (2) the accuracy of the 
estimated burden, (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity 
of the information to be collected, and (4) the use of automated
