    There were no amendments to H.R. 3792 offered or adopted 
during Committee consideration of the bill.

                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 3792, the ``Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension 
Act of 2009'', is a bill to reauthorize programs providing 
comprehensive care, treatment, and support services for 
Americans living with HIV/AIDS.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    Since 1981, when the first cases of AIDS were reported to 
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the 
epidemic has continued to expand and, as a result, it is one of 
the largest public health challenges in this country. According 
to the most recent surveillance report released by the CDC, a 
cumulative total of 1,030,832 AIDS cases were reported in the 
United States from the beginning of the epidemic through 2007. 
The CDC estimates that 583,298 people died of HIV/AIDS over the 
same time period. For 2006, the most recent year that data are 
available, CDC estimated that approximately 56,300 people were 
newly infected with HIV. More than half (57%) of these new 
infections occurred in gay and bisexual men. In addition, the 
incidence rate for African American men and women was estimated 
to be 7 times as high as the incidence rate among whites. It is 
clear from these statistics that despite the significant 
advances in testing, treatment and prevention, the impact of 
HIV/AIDS on people in the United States has been and continues 
to be substantial.
    The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program was established by Congress 
in 1990 (P.L. 101-381) to provide assistance in health care and 
support services for individuals and families affected by HIV/
AIDS. The Ryan White program has been reauthorized and amended 
by Congress three times: in 1996 (P.L. 104-146), 2000 (P.L. 
106-345), and 2006 (P.L. 109-415). The 2006 reauthorization 
contained a ``sunset'' provision that would have eliminated the 
entire title, but a provision in the October 1, 2009, 
Continuing Resolution (P.L. 111-68) extended the program 
through the end of October 2009.

                          Legislative History

    H.R. 3792 was introduced on October 13, 2009, by 
Subcommittee Chairman Pallone, Ranking Member Deal, Committee 
Chairman Waxman, and Ranking Member Barton. The bill was 
referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and 
subsequently to the Subcommittee on Health.
    Prior to the bill's introduction, the Subcommittee on 
Health held a legislative hearing entitled ```Ryan White CARE 
Act Amendments of 2009' Discussion Draft Legislation'' on 
September 9, 2009. The hearing examined a discussion draft of 
legislation to extend the Ryan White program for three 
additional years. The Subcommittee received testimony from Mary 
Wakefield, Ph.D., R.N., Administrator, Health Resources and 
Services Administration; Marcia Crosse, Ph.D., Healthcare 
Director, Government Accountability Office; Julie Scofield, 
Executive Director, National Alliance of State and Territorial 
AIDS Directors; and Donna Elaine Sweet, M.D., M.A.C.P., 
A.A.H.I.V.S., Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, 
University of Kentucky, School of Medicine, and Board Chair, 
American Academy of HIV Medicine.
    The language reported by the Committee was developed in 
bipartisan negotiations with the Senate.

                        Committee Consideration

    H.R. 3792 was considered in open markup session by the 
Subcommittee on Health on Wednesday, October 14, 2009, and was 
forwarded favorably to the full Committee without amendment. On 
Thursday, October 15, 2009, the full Committee met in open 
markup session and considered H.R 3792, as approved by the 
Subcommittee on Health. Subsequently, the Committee ordered 
H.R. 3792 favorably reported to the House, without amendment, 
by a voice vote.

                            Committee Votes

    Clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives requires the Committee to list the record votes 
on the motion to report legislation and amendments thereto. A 
motion by Mr. Pallone to order H.R. 3792 favorably reported to 
the House, without amendment, was adopted by a voice vote. 
There were no amendments offered to H.R. 3792 during the 
Committee's consideration and no recorded votes were requested 
on the bill.

            Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the findings and 
recommendations of the Committee are reflected in the 
descriptive portions of this report.

   New Budget Authority, Entitlement Authority, and Tax Expenditures

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds that H.R. 3792 
would result in no new budget authority, entitlement authority, 
or tax expenditures or revenues.

         Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    The goal of H.R. 3792, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment 
Extension Act of 2009, is to provide HIV-related health 
services to address unmet needs.

                   Constitutional Authority Statement

    Pursuant to clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee finds that the 
constitutional authority for H.R. 3792 is provided in Article 
I, section 8, clauses 1, 3, and 18.

                  Earmarks and Tax and Tariff Benefits

    H.R. 3792 does not contain any congressional earmarks, 
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined in 
clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives.

                      Advisory Committee Statement

    No advisory committees were created by H.R. 3792 within the 
meaning of section 5 U.S.C. App., 5(b) of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act.

             Applicability of Law to the Legislative Branch

    The Committee finds that H.R. 3792 does not relate to the 
terms and conditions of employment or access to public services 
or accommodations within the meaning of section 102(b)(3) of 
the Congressional Accountability Act of 1985.

                       Federal Mandates Statement

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimates of federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandate Reform 
Act.

                        Committee Cost Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(d) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee will adopt as its own 
the cost estimate on H.R. 3792 prepared by the Director of the 
Congressional Budget Office (CBO) pursuant to section 402 of 
the Congressional Budget Act.

                  Congressional Budget Office Estimate

    With respect to the requirement of clause 3(c)(3) of rule 
XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, a complete 
cost estimate on H.R. 3792 by the Congressional Budget Office 
pursuant to section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 
was not available when the Committee filed this report. CBO 
has, however, determined that the bill would not impact direct 
spending, as discussed in the letter that follows:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                  Washington, DC, October 19, 2009.
Hon. Henry A. Waxman,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
reviewed H.R. 3792, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension 
Act of 2009, as ordered reported by the Committee on Energy and 
Commerce on October 15, 2009, and determined that the bill 
would have no impact on direct spending or revenues. The bill 
would reauthorize the Ryan White program in title XXVI of the 
Public Health Service Act and would authorize appropriations 
for purposes specified in the bill. CBO has not completed an 
estimate of the legislation's impact on spending subject to 
appropriation.
    H.R. 3792 would impose intergovernmental and private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) 
because it would require public and private medical facilities 
to comply with new procedures for notifying emergency response 
employees of possible exposures to an infectious disease. CBO 
estimates that the costs of the mandates would fall below the 
annual thresholds established in UMRA for both 
intergovernmental and private-sector mandates ($69 million and 
$139 million in 2009, respectively, adjusted annually for 
inflation). In general, funds authorized in the bill would 
benefit state, local, and tribal governments that participate 
in medical and other support programs for individuals with HIV/
AIDS.
    If you wish further details, we will be pleased to provide 
them. The CBO staff contact is Lisa Ramirez-Branum.
            Sincerely,
                                      Douglas W. Elmendorf,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

             Section-by-Section Analysis of the Legislation

Section 1. Short title; references

    Section 1 establishes the short title of the Act as the 
``Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009''.

Section 2. Reauthorization of HIV health care services program

    Section 2 re-establishes the provisions of the Act, 
retroactive to September 30, 2009, and repeals all prior sunset 
provisions. It provides a 5% increase over fiscal year 2009 
authorization levels across Parts A through D and Part F for 
each of fiscal years 2010 through 2013.
    Section 2 contains several provisions that pertain to the 
Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), which addresses HIV/AIDS among 
racial and ethnic minorities, who as a whole, face 
disproportionate incidence and prevalence rates of the disease, 
as well as heightened barriers to care and treatment. It 
synchronizes the MAI application schedules across Ryan White 
Parts A through D and Part F to streamline the MAI application 
process.
    Section 2 also reverts competitive funding under MAI Parts 
A and Part B to formula funding. Prior to the 2006 Ryan White 
HIV/AIDS Treatment Modernization Act (RWHATMA), Part A and Part 
B MAI funding was allocated to cities and states based on their 
share of total AIDS cases among racial and ethnic minorities. 
RWHATMA shifted MAI funding to a competitive process. According 
to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), this created a 
large administrative burden, and resulted in a number of 
jurisdictions receiving no funding; no improvements in program 
performance were reported. Therefore, this section shifts MAI 
funding for Part A and Part B to a formula basis. It is the 
Committee's intent that the Secretary distribute MAI funding 
for Part A and Part B based on the distribution of HIV/AIDS 
cases among racial and ethnic minorities.
    In addition, the section requires the GAO to report on MAI 
activities across the Department of Health and Human Services 
(HHS) departmental agencies, including a description of best 
practices in capacity-building, particularly for minority 
community-based organizations. The section also requires the 
Secretary of HHS to prepare a plan for the use of MAI funds for 
capacity-building, taking into consideration the findings of 
the GAO report.
    The legislation retains the existing requirement that 75% 
of funding be spent on ``core medical services''. The Committee 
encourages grantees and subgrantees to maximize flexibility in 
the use of support services in support of medical outcomes, 
including finding methods of reducing costs. Grantees may seek 
to adopt systems that reasonably ensure the ability of clients 
to attain support services that minimize cost or accounting 
burden wherever possible. Examples that have come to the 
Committee's attention include the use of monthly bus or subway 
passes and weekly or monthly gas cards or vouchers that may 
allow incidental non-Ryan White Program travel but are cheaper 
overall than individual bus passes or taxi vouchers.
    The Committee is concerned about the prevalence of HIV in 
the nation's prison system. Disparities in the epidemic are 
exacerbated by the lack of access to adequate health and 
support services for inmates while incarcerated and upon their 
return to the community. The Committee notes that the Health 
Research and Services Administration (HRSA) has developed 
guidance on the permitted use of Ryan White dollars for pre- 
and post-release programs for HIV-positive inmates being 
released back to the community, and believes that HRSA should 
encourage Part B grantees to develop and implement such 
programs as appropriate.
    More than 30% of HIV-infected persons in the United States 
are chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Ryan 
White grantees require additional assistance in addressing the 
complex needs of co-infected clients, particularly in large 
urban areas where the majority of HIV/HCV co-infected patients 
live and receive services. The Committee encourages the HRSA to 
increase the capacity of Ryan White grantees to deliver medical 
management, treatment, and support services for clients co-
infected with HIV and HCV by implementing training and 
technical assistance initiatives, so that Ryan White funded 
programs are able to increase HCV education, testing, medical 
management, case management, and treatment services to meet the 
needs of their respective communities. While not all co-
infected patients are appropriate candidates for treatment, the 
low uptake in hepatitis treatment despite availability of 
medications on ADAP formularies is troubling. The Committee 
encourages HRSA to address this concern through the creation of 
best practices from successful efforts in the field, increased 
provider education, case manager capacity building and creation 
of educational materials for clients.
    Numerous studies and reports, including the National 
Healthcare Disparities Report and Unequal Treatment, the 2002 
Institute of Medicine Report, document extensive health 
disparities across the country. These studies have found that, 
on average, racial and ethnic minorities are disproportionately 
afflicted with chronic and acute conditions--such as cancer, 
diabetes, and hypertension--as well as communicable diseases 
likes HIV/AIDS, and suffer worse health outcomes, worse health 
status, and higher mortality rates than the general population.
    The Ryan White Act provides the best opportunity for 
individuals affected by HIV/AIDS to access health care. 
Comorbidities such as hepatitis C have a substantial impact on 
health-related quality for patients with HIV/AIDS. By ensuring 
patients with comorbidities have access to care, the Ryan White 
Act is taking a small but necessary step in reducing the 
serious health disparities that disproportionately affect 
racial and ethnic minorities.
    Most low-income HIV-positive individuals co-infected with 
HBV or HCV can obtain services through the Ryan White Program, 
but coverage for HBV and HCV treatment and viral load testing, 
which is crucial for diagnosis and monitoring response to 
treatment, is limited. Unfortunately, coverage for diagnostics, 
monitoring, treatment and vaccination against viral hepatitis 
is not uniformly available through state AIDS Drug Assistance 
Programs (ADAPs), due to funding shortfalls. The Committee 
believes resources under the Ryan White Program are urgently 
needed for care, treatment, diagnostics, hepatitis vaccine, 
case management, and support services for patients undergoing 
hepatitis treatment, as well as to improve provider education 
on HBV and HCV medical management and treatment.
    The Committee recognizes that despite the progress made to 
treat individuals with HIV/AIDS, including through the Ryan 
White Act, that there is still significant progress that needs 
to be made to prevent HIV transmission. From 2004 to 2007, the 
estimated number of newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS cases increased 
among all races and ethnicities, and increased 18% among males 
and 8% among females during that time period. In recognition of 
this trend, the Committee supports the development of an HIV 
vaccine as a solution for ending the HIV pandemic. Of the more 
than 80 HIV/AIDS vaccine candidates that have undergone Phase I 
clinical trials, 2 have entered phase III trials. The 
development and testing of HIV vaccines should be encouraged by 
the public and private sector, along with other promising 
science that seeks to eradicate HIV/AIDS in the United States.

Section 3. Extended exemption period for names-based reporting

    Section 3 maintains the code-based protections established 
under the 2006 reauthorization for states and jurisdictions 
with maturing names-based HIV case data during the first three 
years of the reauthorization period. For the first two years, 
jurisdictions that report code-based data to HRSA will continue 
to incur a 5% penalty against their count of living cases of 
HIV and will still be subject to a 5% cap on increases in the 
HIV case count. In 2012, the penalty will be increased to 6%. 
Beginning in fiscal year 2013, code-based protections will be 
eliminated and all states will be required to report cases 
using a names-based system.

Section 4. Extension of transitional grant area status

    Section 4 extends current rules for transitional grant area 
(TGA) status. It adds a provision that if a metropolitan area 
receiving Part A funding has between 1400 and 1500 cumulative 
living AIDS cases and did not have more than 5% of its total 
grants unobligated at the end of the grant period for the prior 
fiscal year, it will be treated as having met the criteria for 
continued eligibility as a TGA.
    Section 4 also modifies the transfer of amounts from TGAs 
that lose their eligibility during the reauthorization period. 
Under current law, when a TGA loses its status, $500,000 is 
transferred to the overall Part B pool for states, along with 
the state's most recent formula grant award. Section 4 provides 
transitional funding as the clients of a former TGA are 
absorbed by the overall state program. In the first year after 
a TGA loses eligibility for Part A funding, the state in which 
the TGA is located will retain 75% of the TGA formula funding. 
The amount will decline to 50% in the second year and 25% in 
the third. By the fourth year, all of the former TGAs funding 
will be part of the overall Part B pool.

Section 5. Hold harmless

    Section 5 continues the hold harmless pattern established 
in 2006 for the first three years of the reauthorization 
period. States and EMAs will receive no less than 95% of fiscal 
year 2009 formula award amounts in 2010 and 100% of fiscal year 
2010 formula award amounts for each of the fiscal years 2011 
and 2012. For fiscal year 2013, states and EMAs may not receive 
less than 92.5% of the previous fiscal year's grant.

Section 6. Amendments to the general grant provisions

    Section 6 encourages early identification of individuals 
infected with HIV. It requires the planning councils for Part A 
grant recipients to develop a strategy, in coordination with 
other appropriate community strategies or activities, to 
identify and diagnose individuals with HIV/AIDS who are unaware 
of their status and link them with the appropriate care and 
treatment.
    For the purposes of allocating competitive Part A 
supplemental grants, one-third of the criteria on which 
allocations are made will be based on demonstrated success in 
identifying undiagnosed individuals with HIV/AIDS, making them 
aware of their status, and linking them to appropriate care.

Section 7. Increase in adjustment for names-based reporting

    Section 7 adds an adjustment for Part A and B jurisdictions 
that switched to names-based reporting early in 2007 and 
received a decrease in total funding of at least 30% from year 
2006 as a result of determinations based on the new reporting 
system. For those jurisdictions, the Secretary shall base 
awards on living HIV/AIDS cases plus an adjustment of 3%.

Section 8. Treatment of unobligated funds

    Under current law, if a Part A or Part B grantee has 
unobligated formula funding at the end of the grant year, it 
can request a waiver to carry over the funding. If the waiver 
is not granted or if the funds remain unspent by the end of the 
carryover year, the funds return to the Secretary and become 
available for supplemental grants.
    If the unobligated formula balance is 2% or more of the 
total award, certain penalties apply, whether or not the 
jurisdiction receives a carryover waiver. For formula funds, 
future formula funding will be reduced by the amount of the 
unobligated balance, beginning in the year following the 
report. In addition, the jurisdiction will not be eligible for 
supplemental funding in the year following the report.
    Because of multiple factors (such as statewide budget 
problems and hiring freezes) it has at times been difficult for 
all Part A and Part B grantees to obligate 98% of their funds 
by the end of the year. Nine states experienced a reduction in 
their fiscal year 2009 grants due to unobligated balances in 
fiscal year 2007.
    Section 7 increases the unobligated penalty threshold from 
2% of the total award to 5%. It retains the provision that a 
jurisdiction with more than 5% of its funds unobligated will be 
ineligible for supplemental funding in the following year. For 
formula funds, if the unobligated amount is more than the 5% 
threshold, the next year's formula funding will be reduced by 
the amount of unobligated balance, but the reduction amount 
will not include any unobligated balance that was approved for 
carryover by HRSA.

Section 9. Application by States

    Section 9 requires states, as part of their planning 
process for Ryan White funding, to establish a comprehensive 
strategy to identify and diagnose individuals with HIV/AIDS who 
are unaware of their status and link them with the appropriate 
care and treatment.

Section 10. ADAP rebate funds

    The unobligated balances requirement addressed in section 8 
intersects with the treatment of rebate dollars under the AIDS 
Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). Under current law, many states 
purchase ADAP drugs directly from the manufacturer and receive 
substantial rebates in return. These rebates must be put back 
into the program and, as a general requirement, states must 
spend rebate dollars before grant dollars. The amount and 
timing of rebate dollars, however, is unpredictable. For 
example, a state may receive a significant rebate late in the 
award year. Since rebates must be spent before program funds, 
the state could end the year with more than the permitted 
threshold of unobligated program funds.
    Section 10 of the bill provides that if an expenditure of 
ADAP rebate funds would trigger a penalty or a higher penalty 
than would otherwise have applied, the Secretary shall deem the 
state's unobligated balance to be reduced by the amount of 
rebate funds in the proposed expenditure.
    Section 10 also specifies that any unobligated ADAP grant 
amounts that are returned to the Secretary shall go to the 
state ADAP program, if the Secretary deems appropriate, or to 
Part B supplemental fund.

Section 11. Application to primary care services

    Part D of Ryan White provides grants to entities serving 
women, infants, children, and youths living with HIV/AIDS. 
Programs provide for outpatient medical care and offer case 
management, referrals, and other services to enable 
participation in the program, including outreach efforts to 
youth with HIV.
    Section 11 clarifies that Part D should be the payer of 
last resort and specifies memoranda of understanding as 
vehicles for Part D providers to ensure access to primary care.

Section 12. National HIV/AIDS testing goal

    Section 12 requires the Secretary to establish a national 
HIV/AIDS testing goal of 5 million HIV tests provided through 
all federally-supported HIV/AIDS programs.
     Also, Section 12 requires the Secretary to report to 
Congress each year on the progress made toward achieving the 
goal. The Secretary is required to review each domestic HIV/
AIDS prevention program to determine its effectiveness based on 
the program's stated purposes and on its contributions toward 
the testing goal.

Section 13. Notification of possible exposure to infectious diseases

    Section 13 establishes requirements to ensure that 
emergency responders are notified if exposed to potentially 
life-threatening infectious diseases, while preserving 
confidentiality requirements. A nearly identical section was in 
statute prior to the 2006 reauthorization. The legislation 
makes minor changes to the original language, including 
permitting the Secretary to suspend the requirements in a 
federal public health emergency. Because states and many 
localities have their own requirements for infectious disease 
surveillance, prevention, investigation, and control, the 
Committee expects that in developing the disease list under 
this section, the Secretary will consult as appropriate with 
state and local governmental public health authorities, and 
work to optimize efficiency and coordination with state and 
local procedures.

                          (ii) includes a strategy to 
                        coordinate the provision of such

                        comprehensive treatment services for

        future grants to the area under subsection (a) or (b), 
        as applicable, by the amount of any such unobligated 
        balance in lieu of cancelling such amount as provided 
        for in paragraph (2) or (3)(A). In such case, the 
        Secretary may permit the area to use such unobligated 
        balance for purposes of any such future grant. An 
        amount equal to such reduction shall be available for 
        use as additional amounts for grants pursuant to 
        subsection (b), subject to subsection (a)(4) and 
        section 2610(d)(2). Nothing in this paragraph shall be 
        construed to affect the authority of the Secretary 
        under paragraphs (2) and (3), including the authority 
        to grant waivers under paragraph (3)(A). The reduction 
        in future grants authorized under this paragraph shall 
        be notwithstanding the penalty required under paragraph 
        (3)(D) with respect to unobligated funds.

  (d) Treatment of Drug Rebates.--For purposes of this section, 
funds that are drug rebates referred to in section 2616(g) may 
not be considered part of any grant award referred to in 
subsection (a). If an expenditure of ADAP rebate funds would 
trigger a penalty under this section or a higher penalty than

purposes of this section, the Secretary deem the State's 
unobligated balance to be reduced by the amount of rebate funds 
in the proposed expenditure. Notwithstanding 2618(a)(2)(F), any 
unobligated amount under section 2618(a)(2)(F)(ii)(V) that is 
returned to the Secretary for reallocation shall be used by the 
Secretary for--
          (1) the ADAP supplemental program if the Secretary 
        determines appropriate; or
          (2) for additional amounts for grants pursuant to 
        section 2620.
  (e) Authority Regarding Administration of Provisions.--In 
administering subsections (b) and (c) with respect to the 
unobligated balance of a State, the Secretary may elect to 
reduce the amount of future grants to the State under section 
2618, 2620, or 2621, as applicable, by the amount of any such 
unobligated balance in lieu of cancelling such amount as 
provided for in subsection (b) or (c)(1). In such case, the 
Secretary may permit the State to use such unobligated balance 
for purposes of any such future grant. An amount equal to such 
reduction shall be available for use as additional amounts for 
grants pursuant to section 2620, subject to section 
2618(a)(2)(H). Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to 
affect the authority of the Secretary under subsections (b) and 
(c), including the authority to grant waivers under subsection 
(c)(1). The reduction in future grants authorized under this 
subsection shall be notwithstanding the penalty required under 
subsection (c)(4) with respect to unobligated funds.
