    Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
    Review; Comment Request
    
        Periodically, the Health Resources and Services Administration 
    (HRSA) publishes abstracts of information collection requests under 
    review by the Office of Management and Budget, in compliance with the 
    Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 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:
        2. Annual Administrative Reports for Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS 
    Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990, Titles I and II--Extension and 
    Revision--The Annual Administrative Reports (AAR) are submitted by 
    grantees funded under Titles I and II of the Ryan White CARE Act of 
    1990 (as amended by the CARE Act amendments of 1996) and include 
    aggregate information about disbursal of funds, number of clients 
    served and services provided, demographic information about clients 
    served, and costs of provided services. Title I grantees include local 
    governments that meet legislative criteria for disproportionate impact 
    of AIDS. Title II grantees include the 50 States, the District of 
    Columbia, and a small number of territories. Grantees obtain the 
    information for the AAR from individual service providers. Automated 
    reporting alternatives are available to grantees and to providers at 
    the grantee's option. This information is used to determine whether the 
    purposes of the Act and the grants made pursuant to it are being 
    fulfilled. The information is also used locally for planning and 
    priority setting. Respondents include state and local governments,
    
    [[Page 51459]]
    
    individuals, non-profit institutions, businesses and other for-profit 
    organizations, and small businesses and entities. HRSA proposes to make 
    some changes in the data elements, to improve their value and/or reduce 
    the burden of data collection and reporting. To allow adequate lead 
    time, the changes for most of the forms would be effective for data 
    collection by service providers beginning in January, 1998; the changes 
    to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) Annual Administrative Report 
    would be effective for reports submitted in March 1997.
        The annual burden estimates are as follows:
