Proposed Project: Grantee Reporting Requirements for the Ryan White 
Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act of 1990, Title III 
HIV Early Intervention Services Program (OMB No. 0915-0158)--Revision 
and Extension

    Section 2651 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (commonly known 
as Title III of the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency 
(CARE) Act of 1990), provides categorical funding to increase the 
capacity and capability of organizations that provide primary health 
care to provide HIV-related early intervention services to medically 
underserved persons who have, or are at high risk for HIV infection. 
These services are provided as part of a continuum of HIV prevention 
and health care services.
    This clearance request is for extension of OMB approval of the 
Title III Program Data Report form, which is submitted annually by 
Title III grant recipients. The bulk of the information being collected 
describes the epidemiologic and demographic characteristics of the 
populations receiving early intervention services from grant 
recipients, and provides the basis for the annual report to the 
Secretary, which is legislatively mandated. It is also used to monitor 
the delivery of services, guide federal policy, and assist in program 
development and evaluation. Only minor revisions to the form are 
proposed, including deletion of some sections found to lack utility, 
revision of some data elements and instructions for clarity, and 
addition of data elements to improve the usefulness of the data.
    The estimate of burden for the form is as follows:

                                                 Number of     Respondents per     Hours per       Total burden

information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
