will rely on the results of the impact
study, analysis of participation data
from the MIS, and results of a staff time
study to quantify various PJAC-related
costs and benefits.
This notice is specific to the following
data collection activities: the
noncustodial parent participant
interviews (these interview topic guides
were approved under a previous
submission and require content
modification which also significantly

lowers the collective public burden
hours); the staff survey; the staff time
study; and the custodial parent
interviews. Data collection activities
that were previously approved by OMB,
following public comment, are the staff
data entry on participant baseline
information, study MIS to track receipt
of services, staff and community partner
interview topic guide, the participant
interview topic guide, and the
participant survey tracking letter. A

participant survey has been eliminated
from the data collection plans so the
OMB-approved participant survey
tracking letter will no longer be used.
Respondents: Respondents include
study participants, child support
program staff at the six PJAC
demonstration sites, custodial parents
associated with study participants, and
the federal Office of Child Support
Enforcement.

Information Collection Request Title:
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program:
Allocation and Expenditure Forms,
OMB No. 0915–0318—Revision
Abstract: HRSA’s HIV/AIDS Bureau
administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) authorized under
Title XXVI of the Public Health Service
Act as amended by the Ryan White HIV/
AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009.
RWHAP Allocation and Expenditure
Reports (A&E Reports), in conjunction
with the Consolidated List of
Contractors (CLC), allow HRSA to
monitor and track the use of grant funds
for compliance with program and grants
policies and requirements as outlined in
the 2009 legislation. To avoid
duplication and reduce recipient
reporting burden, HRSA created an
electronic grantee contract management
system (GCMS) that includes data
required for various reports, including
the Allocations Reports, the CLC, and
other HRSA data reports, such as the

RWHAP Services Report. Recipients can
access GCMS year-round to upload or
manually enter data on their service
provider contractors or subrecipients,
the RWHAP core medical and support
services provided, and their funding
amounts. GCMS automatically
repopulates the data required for
Allocations Reports and other reports.
Expenditures Report data are not autopopulated in the GCMS, and are thus
still manually reported in the data
reporting system.
Allocations and Expenditures (A&E)
Reports
Recipients funded under RWHAP
Parts A, B, C, and D are required to
report financial data to HRSA at the
beginning (Allocations Report) and at
the end of their grant budget period
(Expenditures Report). The A&E Reports
request information recipients already
collect, including the use of RWHAP
grant funds for core medical and
support services and for various
program components, such as
administration, planning and
evaluation, and clinical quality
management. The reports are identical
in content; however, in the first report
recipients document the allocation of
their RWHAP grant award at the
beginning of their grant budget period,
and in the second report recipients
document actual expenditures of their
RWHAP grant award (including any
carryover dollars) at the end of their
grant budget period.
HRSA is proposing several
modifications to the A&E Reports.
Recipients would be required to report
program income and pharmaceutical
rebate amounts in the Expenditures

Report in addition to grant award
(including any carryover) amounts. This
addition allows HRSA to understand the
full scope and impact of the RWHAP on
state and local levels. Program income
and pharmaceutical rebate expenditures
should already be tracked by recipients
and should not increase reporting
burden. RWHAP Parts A and B
recipients funded under the Ending the
HIV Epidemic Initiative (EHE)—a new
funding source to implement four key
strategies (diagnose, treat, prevent, and
respond) to end the HIV epidemic—
would be required to report EHE service
allocations and corresponding EHE
award expenditures in the A&E
Reports.1 This addition allows HRSA to
track and report progress toward
meeting the EHE goals.
In addition to these substantive
modifications, minor changes are
proposed to (1) the layout of the A&E
Reports that affects how already
required data is reported; (2) align
service categories with HRSA Policy
Clarification Notice #16–02: RWHAP
Services: Eligible Individuals &
Allowable Uses of Funds, updated
October 22, 2019; and (3) add clarity to
language used.

Consolidated List of Contractors
Recipients funded under RWHAP
Parts A and B are required to report
information about their service provider
contracts or sub awards in the CLC, a
report that is generated from data
entered through other systems. The CLC
form identifies a recipient’s contracts
with service providers for the current
grant year, the contract amount, the
types of services the service provider
provided, and the service provider’s
status as a minority or faith-based
provider. HRSA is not proposing any
changes to the CLC.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: Accurate allocation,
expenditure, and service contract
records of the recipients receiving
RWHAP funding are critical to the
implementation of the RWHAP
legislation and thus are necessary for
HRSA to fulfill its monitoring and
oversight responsibilities.
The primary purposes of these forms
are to provide information on the
number of grant dollars spent on various
services and program components and
oversee compliance with the intent of
Congressional appropriations in a
timely manner. In addition to meeting
the goal of accountability to Congress,
RWHAP clients, advocacy groups, and

the general public, information
collected through these reports is
critical for HRSA, state, and local grant
recipients, and individual providers to
evaluate the effectiveness of the
RWHAP. The addition of program
income, pharmaceutical rebates, and
EHE funding to the A&E Reports will
allow HRSA the ability to assess
progress toward meeting the national
goals for ending the HIV epidemic.
Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A,
Part B, Part C, and Part D recipients
Burden Statement: Burden in this
context means the time expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose, or provide the information
requested. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information; to search
data sources; to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The total annual burden
hours estimated for this ICR are
summarized in the table below.

HRSA specifically requests comments
on (1) the necessity and utility of the
proposed information collection for the
proper performance of the agency’s
functions; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) the
use of automated collection techniques

or other forms of information
technology to minimize the information
collection burden.
