Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
(HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), in compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request 
a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, e-mail 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#9eeeffeefbece9f1ecf5def6ecedffb0f9f1e8"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3747564752454058455c775f45445619505841">[email protected]</span></a> or call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (301) 
443-1129.
    The following request has been submitted to OMB for review under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Allocation and 
Expenditure Forms (OMB No. 0915-0318)--[Extension]

    The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Allocation and Expenditure Reports 
will enable the Health Resources and Services Administration's HIV/AIDS 
Bureau to track spending requirements for each program as outlined in 
the legislation. Grantees funded under Parts A, B, C, and D of the Ryan 
White HIV/AIDS Program (codified under Title XXVI of the Public Health 
Service Act) would be required to report financial data to HRSA at the 
beginning and end of their grant cycle.
    All parts of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program specify HRSA's 
responsibilities in the administration of grant funds. Accurate 
allocation and expenditure records of the grantees receiving Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Program funding are critical to the implementation of the 
legislation and thus are necessary for HRSA to fulfill its 
responsibilities.
    The forms would require grantees to report on how funds are 
allocated and spent on core and non-core services, and on various 
program components, such as administration, planning, evaluation, and 
quality management. The two forms are identical in the types of 
information that are collected. However, the first report would track 
the allocation of the award at the beginning of the grant cycle and the 
second report would track actual expenditures (including carryover 
dollars) at the end of the grant cycle.
    The primary purposes of these forms are to (1) provide information 
on the number of grant dollars spent on various services and program 
components, and (2) oversee compliance with the intent of Congressional 
appropriations in a timely manner. In addition to meeting the goal of 
accountability to the Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the 
general public, information collected on these reports is critical for 
HRSA, state and local grantees, and individual providers for the 
evaluation of the effectiveness of these programs.
    The response burden for grantees is estimated as:
