Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program:
Expenditures Forms—OMB No. 0915–
xxxx—New.
Abstract: HRSA administers the Ryan
White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP)
which is authorized under title XXVI of
the Public Health Service Act. 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
contract management system (GCMS)
that includes data required for various
reports, including the Expenditures
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
still manually entered into the data
reporting system.
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 (Expenditures
Report) of their grant budget period. 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 in the U.S. (EHE)
initiative are also required to report
allocations and expenditures of the

grant budget period in the EHE 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 or EHE grant award at the
beginning of their grant budget period.
In the second report, recipients
document actual expenditures of their
RWHAP or EHE grant award (including
any carryover dollars) at the end of their
grant budget period.
HRSA is proposing the following
updates to the RWHAP Expenditure
Reports.
RWHAP Part A Expenditures 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
Expenditure amounts and updating the
title;
• Moving the Prior Fiscal Year (FY)
Carryover column row after the Current
FY column 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;
• Re-ordering the MAI rows in the
‘‘RWHAP Part A and MAI Service
Category Expenditures’’ table as follows:
3. RWHAP Part A Supplemental Award,
4. RWHAP Part A MAI Award Amount,
5. RWHAP Part A MAI Carryover
Amount;
• Updating calculations and language
in the Legislative Requirements
Checklist; and
• Adding a requirement for Financial
Officer/Designee to certify subrecipient
aggregated administrative expenditures.
RWHAP Part B Expenditures Report:
• Revising rows and column headers
and other language for clarity and
alignment with RWHAP requirements;
• Adding the following rows to Table
1: 4b. RWHAP Part B HIV Care
Consortia Planning & Evaluation and 4c.
RWHAP Part B HIV Care Consortia
Clinical Quality Management (CQM);
• Blacking out selected cells in the
following rows, columns, or tables:

appropriation language and thus are
necessary for HRSA to fulfill its
monitoring and oversight
responsibilities.

Part B, Part C, and Part D recipients.

payments under the Provider Relief
Fund. Specifically, the request seeks
certain information pertaining to
providers who did not receive COVID–
19 High-Impact Area Distribution
payments. This notice seeks input from
these providers so that HRSA can
respond to the FOIA request.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before March 23, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be
submitted to the HRSA FOIA Office via
email at hotspotpdn@hrsa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Fishers Lane, Room 13N112, Rockville,
Maryland 20857; 301–443–1467,
hotspotpdn@hrsa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FOIA,
5 U.S.C. 552, compels federal agencies
to release records in its possession,
unless the agency reasonably foresees
that disclosure would harm an
interested protected by one (or more) of
the nine exemptions or disclosure is
prohibited by law. FOIA also requires
that agencies provide FOIA requesters
with reasonably segregated portions of
records, which means that agencies
must release any portion of the records
where an exemption does not apply,
unless technically unable to reasonably
do so.
Explanation of the Action
The HRSA FOIA Office received a
FOIA request for data reported to HHS
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703

in 2020 that was used in determining
COVID–19 High-Impact Area
Distribution payments under the
Provider Relief Fund. HHS made the
first round of COVID–19 High Impact
Area Distribution payments to 395
hospitals that reported they had 100 or
more COVID–19 admissions during the
period of January 1, 2020. and April 10,
2020. HHS did not make payments to
hospitals that reported they had fewer
than 100 COVID–19 admissions during
the period of January 1, 2020, and April
10, 2020. The FOIA request specifically
seeks data on the hospitals that reported
they had fewer than 100 COVID–19
admissions during the period of January
1, 2020, and April 10, 2020, and
therefore, did not receive a payment in
the first round of the COVID–19 High
Impact Area Distribution.
This notice only applies to hospitals
that reported in the first round of
reporting to HHS that they had fewer
than 100 COVID–19 admissions during
the period of January 1, 2020, and April
10, 2020, and, as a result, did not
receive a payment in round 1 of the
COVID–19 High-Impact Area
Distribution. Comments from any entity
that does not satisfy these conditions
will not be reviewed.
Necessity of the Action
Executive Order No. 12600, 52 FR
23781 (1987), and the HHS FOIA
regulations at 45 CFR 5.42(a) require
HRSA coordinate predisclosure
