Comment Request
In compliance with the requirement for opportunity for public
comment on proposed data collection projects (section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
Title 44, United States Code, as amended by the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Pub. L. 104-13), the Health Resources and Services
Administration (HRSA) publishes periodic summaries of proposed projects
being developed for submission to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. To request more
information on the proposed project or to obtain a copy of the data
collection plans and draft instruments, e-mail [email protected] or
call the HRSA Reports Clearance Officer at (301) 443-1129.
Comments are invited on: (a) The proposed collection of information
for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency; (b) the

information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of

Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act of
2006: Data Report Form: (OMB No. 0915-0253)--Extension
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Annual Data Report (or the Ryan
White Data Report, formerly called the CARE Act Data Report [CADR]) was
initially created in 1999 by HRSA's HIV/AIDS Bureau. Grantees and their
subcontracted service providers who are funded under Parts A, B, C, and
D, and the Part F Minority AIDS Initiative of Title XXVI of the Public
Health Service Act (the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), submit the
report, which has been revised to more closely resemble the data
requested in the client-level data collection instrument that these
grantees and providers are now also required to submit. All parts of
the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program specify HRSA's responsibilities in the
administration of grant funds, the allocation of funds, the evaluation
of programs for the population served, and the improvement of the
quantity and quality of care. Because client-level data reporting
requirements are relatively new for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program
grantees, the grantees are still required to report aggregate data in
the Ryan White Data Report to HRSA annually. The more mature aggregate
reporting requirements provide accurate records of the providers
receiving Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program funding, the services provided,
and the clients served, which continue to be critical to the
implementation of the legislation and necessary for HRSA to fulfill its
responsibilities. The Ryan White Data Report has seven different
sections containing information about the service providers;
demographic information about the clients served; information about the
type of core and support services provided and the number of clients
served; information about counseling and testing services; clinical
information about clients who received outpatient/ambulatory medical
care; demographic tables for Parts C and D; and information about
health insurance services.
The primary purposes of the Ryan White Data Report are to: (1)
Characterize the organizations where clients receive services; (2)
provide information on the number and characteristics of clients who
receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program services; and (3) enable HAB to
describe the type and amount of services a client receives. In addition
to meeting the goal of accountability to Congress, clients, advocacy
groups, and the general public, information collected in the Ryan White
Data Report is critical for HRSA, State and local grantees, and
individual providers to assess the status of existing HIV-related
service delivery systems.
The response burden for grantees is estimated as:

The response burden for service providers is estimated as:
