Chapter 35). To request a copy of the clearance requests submitted to OMB for review, call the HRSA Reports Clearance Office on (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: Annual Administrative Reporting System for the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990 for Titles I amd II (OMB No. 0915-0166): Revision OMB approval is requested for the Annual Administrative Reporting System (AAR) established in 1994 to collect information from grantees and their subcontracted service providers. The AAR collects aggregate information from grantees about the disbursal of funds, number of clients served and services provided, demographic information about clients served, and [[Page 60215]] cost of providing services funded under Title I and II of the Ryan White CARE Act. The primary purpose of the AAR is to: (1) Document the use of Title I and Title II funds and the providers who received them, (2) assess the effects of these funds on the number and diversity of individuals served, (3) evaluate the quantity of services received, and (4) help examine the effectiveness of coordinated systems of care in meeting the needs of individuals living with HIV. In addition to meeting the goal of accountability to Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the general public, the AAR supports critical efforts by HRSA, state and local grantees, and providers to assess the status of existing HIV- related service delivery systems. Separate reports were developed to collect aggregate data from the three program types that receive funds under Title I and/or Title II: (1) Title I programs, Title II programs; (2) centrally administered state programs for the continuation of health insurance; and (3) state programs providing HIV prescription drug assistance. The following changes to the AAR are proposed to improve the accuracy of the data collected and facilitate local analysis of primary medical care outcome measures: Certain funding questions will be eliminated, all questions will require numerical responses, not percentages; some questions will be restricted to certain providers; and a set of questions has been added to help evaluate primary medical services. The estimated response burden is as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of Responses per Total Hours per Total hour Form name respondents respondent responses response burden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Annual Administrative Report (SAAR) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical providers............... 660 1 660 35 23,100 Non-medical providers........... 1,975 1 1,975 20 39,500 Grantees........................ 105 1 105 24 2,520 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AIDS Pharmaceutical Assistance Annual Administrative Report (includes State ADAP and local APA pharmaceutical programs) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrator/Grantee........... 76 1 76 25 1,900 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Health Insurance Continuation Program ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Administrative/Grantee.......... 66 1 66 18.5 1,221 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total..................... 2,882 1 2,882 .............. 68,241 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to: Wendy A.
