Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Title: State Court Improvement 

Program. 

OMB No.: 0970–0307. 

Description: From the funds 

appropriated for the Promoting Safe and 

Stable Families Program (PSSF), $10 

million is reserved annually for each of 

three grants to facilitate the State Court 

Improvement Program (CIP) to facilitate 

court improvement in the handling of 

child abuse and neglect cases. 

The Court Improvement Program 

(CIP) is composed of three grants, the 

basic, data, and training grants, 

governed by two separate Program 

Instructions (PIs). The training and data 

grants are governed by the ‘‘new grant’’ 

PI and the basic grant is governed by the 

‘‘basic grant’’ PI. Current PIs require 

separate applications and program 

assessment reports for each grant. Every 

State applies for at least two of the 

grants annually and most States apply 

for all three. As many of the application 

requirements are the same for all three 

grants, this results in duplicative work 

and high degrees of repetition for State 

courts applying for more than one CIP 

grant. 

The purpose of this Program 

Instruction is to streamline and simplify 

the application and reporting processes 

by consolidating the PIs into one single 

PI and requiring one single, 

consolidated application package and 

program assessment report per State 

court annually. These revisions will 

satisfy statutory programmatic 

requirements and reduce both the 

number of required responses and 

associated total burden hours for State 

courts. This new PI also describes 

programmatic and fiscal provisions and 

reporting requirements for the grants, 

specifies the application submittal and 

approval procedures for the grants for 

fiscal years 2012 through 2015, and 

identifies technical resources for use by 

State courts during the course of the 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

grants. The agency uses the information 

received to ensure compliance with the 

statute and provide training and 

technical assistance to the grantees. 

Respondents: State Courts.

Proposed Project: Assessing Factors 

That Impact AIDS Drug Assistance 

Program (ADAP) Enrollment and 

Management in the Face of ADAP 

Waiting Lists (OMB No. 0915–xxxx)— 

[New] 

HRSA’s AIDS Drug Assistance 

Program (ADAP) provides assistance to 

help low-income, uninsured and 

underinsured individuals living with 

HIV/AIDS to access life-saving 

medications. As part of the Ryan White 

HIV/AIDS Program, ADAP is the Payer 

of Last Resort. Clients enrolled in ADAP 

have exhausted all other resources to 

obtain the necessary medications and 

care. In recent years, ADAP has 

experienced an increase in enrollment 

while funding resources have decreased. 

This study will use case study 

methods to identify and examine factors 

that contribute to the rising enrollments 

in ADAP and the states’ abilities to meet 

the demands for ADAP services. Data 

collection will include interviews with 

up to eight respondents in each of eight 

selected states, for a maximum of 64 

total respondents. Each interview will 

last approximately 1.5 hours. The 

respondents will fall into three general 

categories—ADAP personnel, state HIV/ 

AIDS program leads, and personnel 

from related state and local programs, 

such as Medicaid and pharmacy 

assistance programs. Interviews will be 

conducted over a period of 2.5 months. 

The study will assess factors that may 

contribute to the rise in ADAP 

enrollment and costs such as new HIV 

cases, earlier use of antiretroviral 

medications, lower attrition of existing 

clients, unemployment and loss of 

insurance, or increasing drug costs. In 

addition, the study will examine factors 

that may decrease ADAP costs, such as 

health care reform and cost containment 

strategies. Findings from the study will 

be used to develop policy and to 

recommend promising practices for 

managing state ADAPs. 

The annual estimate of burden is as 

follows:
