    Information Collection Request Title: Client-Level Data Reporting 
System.
    OMB No: 0915-0323--Extension.
    Abstract: The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program's (RWHAP) client-level 
data reporting system, entitled the RWHAP Services Report or the Ryan 
White Services Report (RSR), is designed to collect information from 
grant recipients, as well as their subcontracted service providers, 
funded under Parts A, B, C, and D of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment 
Extension Act of 2009. The RWHAP, authorized under Title XXVI of the 
Public Health Service Act, as amended by the Ryan White HIV/AIDS 
Treatment Extension Act of 2009, provides entities funded by the 
program with flexibility to respond effectively to the changing HIV 
epidemic, with an emphasis on providing life-saving and life-extending 
services for people living with HIV across this country, as well as 
targeting resources to areas that have the greatest needs.
    Need and Proposed Use of the Information: All parts of RWHAP 
specify HRSA's responsibilities in administering grant funds, 
allocating funds, evaluating programs for the populations served, and 
improving quality of care. The RSR provides data on the characteristics 
of RWHAP-funded recipients, their contracted service providers, and the 
clients served with program funds. The RSR is intended to support 
clinical quality management, performance measurement, service delivery, 
and client monitoring at the service provider and client levels. The 
RSR reporting system consists of two online data forms, the Recipient 
Report and the Service Provider Report, as well as a data file 
containing the client-level data elements. Data are submitted annually. 
The statute specifies the importance of recipient accountability for 
the services delivered and the funding allocated and expended for those 
services as specified in their grant award and linking performance to 
budget. The RSR is used to ensure compliance with the law, including 
evaluating the progress of programs, monitoring recipient and provider 
performance, and informing annual reports to Congress. Information 
collected through the RSR is critical for HRSA, state and local 
recipients, and individual providers to assess the status of existing 
HIV-related service delivery systems, assess trends in service 
utilization, and identify areas of greatest need.
    Likely Respondents: RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D 
recipients and their contracted service providers.
    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 Information Collection Request are summarized in the table below.
