Act of 1990, Title IV (OMB No. 0915-0206)--Extension, No Change--The
HRSA HIV-AIDS Bureau proposes to continue to collect aggregated data
from 44 grantees and their 90 local service providers that are funded
under Section 2671 of the Public Health Service Act (42 USC 300ff-71).
Data are collected from grantees and providers on the organizational
structures, service delivery approaches, numbers and demographic
characteristics of clients served, service utilization, and activities
related to outreach, prevention, and education. The data collection
strategy includes six tables that the grantees and their local service
providers use to submit information annually about program and client
characteristics. The data collected are used within and outside the
HIV-AIDS Bureau and HRSA to inform the administration and Congress
about the Title IV program and are used by grantees and the HIV-AIDS
Bureau for other planning and policy efforts. No changes to the data
tables are planned. Burden estimates are as follows:
