Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009 requires that grantees receiving funds under Parts A, B, and C expend 75% of funding on core medical services, including anitretroviral drugs, for individuals with HIV/AIDS identified and eligible under the legislation. Sections of the Act permit a waiver with respect to the required portion of funding for core medical services. In order to request a waiver, grantees must submit a request and provide supporting information and documentation along with the grant application to ensure compliance with the Act.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Until recently, there has been a decrease in the number core medical services waiver requests from grantees, but beginning in 2014, grantees may require additional flexibility with the 75 percent requirement, in part due to implementation of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, the revised requirements may make it more convenient for grantees to request a waiver, so more grantees may apply. Considering these facts, the program anticipates a slight increase in the number of waiver applicants. Even with the projected increase, the program estimates that only a limited number of grantees will request the waiver, since most grantees will be able to meet the requirement that 75 percent of their funds be spent on core medical services.
