ADAP grantees are required to annually submit the ADR that include information on patients served, pharmaceuticals dispensed, pricing, sources of support to provide HIV/AIDs medications, eligibility requirements, cost data, and coordination with Medicaid. The report represents the best method for HRSA to determine how grant funds are expended and to provide answers to requests from Congress and other organizations.

In the previous OMB, the burden estimate in the first year of ADR collection included the development or adjustment of ADAPs' data collection systems to include the collection of client level data elements for the first time. In the following second and third year, the new burden estimate was dramatically decreased from 52,404.66 hours to 4,161 hours with the assumption that ADAP data collection systems would be in place. In this current inventory for the ADR the burden estimate is for 4,698 burden hours, an increase of 537 hours from the currently approved burden of 4,161hours per year. ADAPs may now have a more accurate sense of how long the ADR does take to complete. For example, ADAPs now report that the Grantee Report takes an average of 6 hours, whereas previously ADAPs reported that it took them 12 hours. This is due to familiarity of the data elements and data collection systems in place. The Client-level Report, which may require ADAPs to pull data from various data systems has proven to take longer than previously estimated by ADAPs Before, ADAPs estimated it take them 24 hours, but now ADAPs are reporting that it takes them an average of 81 hours. This increase may also largely reflect HAB's push to improve data collection through submitting complete and accurate data. ADAPs can now monitor their data using the Completeness Report and Confirmation Report to check the quality of their data. The increase in burden estimates is also likely attributable to asking questions in this latest sample of ADAPs that cover more of the scope of their data collection and reporting activities (e.g. improving data quality and monitoring data collection year-round) and with greater specificity than for estimating burden when grantees were sampled previously.
Despite the change from a bi-annual to an annual submission, this did not decrease the amount of effort it takes to prepare the ADR. Finally, all grantees who responded with burden estimates expressed that the current data elements changes in the Client Report described above would have little to no affect in their current burden estimates.
