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, 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, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office at (301) 443-1129.

The following request has been submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for review under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995:

Proposed Project:

Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990—Title III (OMB 0915-0158)—Revision.

Section 2651 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (commonly known as Title III of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resource Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990), provides categorical funding to increase the capacity and capability of organizations that provide primary health care to HIV-related early intervention services to medically underserved persons who have, or are at high risk for, HIV infection. These services are provided as part of a continuum of HIV prevention and health care services.

The bulk of the information being collected describes the epidemiologic and demographic characteristics of the populations receiving early intervention services from grant recipients, and provides the basis for the annual report to the Secretary, which is legislatively mandated. It is also used to monitor the delivery of services, guide Federal policy, and assist in program development and evaluation.
