Proposed Project: Ryan White HIV/ 

AIDS Program Core Medical Services 

Waiver Application Requirements 

(NEW) 

Title XXVI of the Public Health 

Service (PHS) Act, as amended by the 

Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment 

Modernization Act of 2006 (Ryan White 

HIV/AIDS Program) requires that 

grantees expend 75 percent of Parts A, 

B, and C funds on core medical services, 

including antiretroviral drugs, for 

individuals with HIV/AIDS identified 

and eligible under the legislation, 

effective Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. In order 

for grantees under Parts A, B, and C to 

be exempted from the 75 percent core 

medical services requirement, they must 

request and receive a waiver from 

HRSA, as required in the Act. HRSA has 

developed a process for waiver request 

submission, review, and notification. 

The core medical services waiver 

uniform standard and waiver request 

process will apply to Ryan White HIV/ 

AIDS Program grant awards under Parts 

A, B, and C of Title XXVI of the PHS 

Act beginning FY 2008. Core medical 

services waivers will be effective for a 

one-year period consistent with the 

grant award period. 

Grantees must submit a waiver 

request with the annual grant 

application containing the following 

certifications and documentations 

which will be utilized by HRSA in 

making determinations regarding waiver 

requests. The waiver must include: 

1. Certification from the Part B state 

grantee that there are no current or 

anticipated ADAP services waiting lists 

in the state for the year in which such 

waiver request is made. This 

certification must also specify that there 

are no waiting lists for a particular core 

class of antiretroviral therapeutics 

established by the Secretary, e.g., fusion 

inhibitors; 

2. Certification that all core medical 

services listed in the statute (Part A 

section 2604(c)(3), Part B section 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
36010 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 126 / Monday, July 2, 2007 / Notices 

2612(b)(3), and Part C section 

2651(c)(3)), regardless of whether such 

services are funded by the Ryan White 

HIV/AIDS Program, are available within 

30 days for all identified and eligible 

individuals with HIV/AIDS in the 

service area; 

3. Evidence that a public process was 

conducted to seek public input on 

availability of core medical services; 

4. Evidence that receipt of the core 

medical services waiver is consistent 

with the grantee’s Ryan White HIV/ 

AIDS Program application (e.g., 

‘‘Description of Priority Setting and 

Resource Allocation Processes’’ and 

‘‘Unmet Need Estimate and 

Assessment’’ sections of the application 

for Parts A, ‘‘Needs Assessment and 

Unmet Need’’ section of the application 

under Part B, and ‘‘Description of the 

Local HIV Service Delivery System,’’

and ‘‘Current and Projected Sources of 

Funding’’ sections of the application 

under Part C).

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

Periodically, the Substance Abuse and 

Mental Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) will publish a summary of 

information collection requests under 

the Office of management and Budget’s 

(OMB) review, in compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Project Substance Abuse Prevention 

and Treatment (SAPT) Block Grant 

Uniform Application Guidance and 

Instructions FY 2008–2010 and 

Regulations (OMB No. 0930–0080)—

Revision. 

Sections 1921 through 1935 of the 

Public Health Service Act (U.S.C. 300x–

21 to 300x–35) provide for annual 

allotments to assist States to plan, carry 

out and evaluate activities to prevent 

and treat substance abuse and for 

related activities. Under the provisions 

of the law, States may receive 

allotments only after an application is 

submitted and approved by the 

Secretary, DHHS. For the Federal fiscal 

year (FY) 2008–2010 Substance Abuse 

prevention and Treatment (SAPT) Block 

Grant application cycles, SAMHSA will 

provide States with revised application 

guidance and instructions to implement 

changes made in accordance with the 

recommendations of OMB’s Program 

Assessment Rating Tool (PART) 

analysis. In addition, SAMHSA has 

incorporated recommendations from the 

National Association of State Alcohol 

and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD) 

and their member States in the revisions 

and clarification of data reporting 

requirements and instructions. 

During the negotiations with the 

States resulting in agreement on the 

National Outcome Measures (NOMs) for 

substance abuse treatment and 

prevention, SAMHSA pledged to the 

States to: 

1. Reduce respondent burden; 

2. work with the States to improve 

performance management of the SAPT 

Block Grant; 

3. improve the availability, timeliness, 

and quality of data available to Federal, 

State, and provider administrators of 

block grant funded programs. 

This revision of the Uniform 

Application and Regulation for the 

SAPT Block Grant takes initial steps 

toward implementing these 

commitments. Individual States may 

reduce their respondent burden by 

selecting the option of using SAMHSA 

pre-populated tables for Section IVa and 

b. The data for these tables would be 

drawn from SAMHSA data sets known 

as Drug and Alcohol Services 

Information System (DASIS) Treatment 

Episode Data Set (TEDS) and National 

Survey on Drug Use and Health 

(NSDUH) by SAMHSA and provided to 

the States. SAMHSA is providing the 

States with the option of reporting on 

prevention expenditures utilizing the 

six prevention strategies or utilizing the 

Institute of Medicine classification of
