Nearly two-thirds of RWHAP clients (patients) live at or below 100 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). Since 1990, RWHAP has developed a comprehensive system of HIV service providers who deliver high quality direct health care and support services to over half a million people with diagnosed HIV—more than 50 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV in the United States. Grant recipients funded under RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D (codified under Title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act) are required to report financial data to HRSA at the beginning (Allocations Report) and at the end of each grant budget period (Expenditures Report) using the designated HRSA grant submission software which is approved by OMB under the 0915-0318 control number. HRSA collects unobligated balances (UOB) of federal funds and rebate addendum information by subprogram from their grant recipients. A UOB is the cumulative amount that is available for obligation in an unexpired account. HRSA uses the UOB and rebate addendum financial information to determine formula funding as directed by the RWHAP statute. HRSA is not planning to make changes to this information collection as part of this extension request. Federal award expenditure data were previously collected when grant recipients submitted their annual Federal Financial Report (FFR SF-425), which HRSA then combined with the UOB and rebate addendum tables submitted by recipients using the designated HRSA grant submission software. HRSA created the currently approved instrument, which has been in use for several years now, to streamline the process for grant recipients by collecting financial information in the same location and at the same time as the FFR SF-425. Whereas grant recipients previously completed the FFR SF-425 in the HRSA EHBs, they now complete it in the Payment Management System. Additionally, grant recipients complete the UOB and rebate addendum data tables as part of their FFR SF-425 submission in the Payment Management System. <E T="03">Need and Proposed Use of the Information:</E> Before implementing the current process described above, RWHAP Part A and Part B recipients completed the UOB and rebate addendum tables in a non-electronic form and uploaded them as attachments to their FFR SF-425 submission. Renewal of the current process will continue to increase transparency and improve the quality of data submitted to HRSA. These UOB and rebate addendum tables are essential for allowing HRSA to ensure that RWHAP recipients are meeting the goal of accountability to Congress, clients, advocacy groups, and the general public. Information provided in the UOB and rebate addendum tables is critical for HRSA, cities, states and territories, local clinics, and individual providers to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs. <GPOTABLE COLS="5" OPTS="L2,i1" CDEF="s50,xl50,xl50,xl50,xl50"> <TTITLE>Currently Approved RWHAP Part A Table</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Unobligated balance (UOB) of federal funds by subprogram</CHED> <CHED H="2">Category</CHED> <CHED H="2">Federal funds authorized</CHED> <GPOTABLE COLS="5" OPTS="L2,i1" CDEF="s50,xl50,xl50,xl50,xl50"> <TTITLE>Currently Approved RWHAP Part B Table</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Unobligated balance (UOB) of federal funds by subprogram</CHED> <CHED H="2">Category</CHED> <CHED H="2">Federal funds authorized</CHED> <E T="03">Part B Emerging Communities</E> </ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01"> <E T="03">Part B MAI</E> <GPOTABLE COLS="2" OPTS="L2,p1,8/9,i1" CDEF="s200,xl25"> <TTITLE>Currently Approved RWHAP Part B Rebate Table</TTITLE> <CHED H="1"> </CHED> <CHED H="1"> </CHED> <ROW EXPSTB="01" RUL="s"> <ENT I="21">Ryan White rebate funding</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="01"> <E T="03">Total Rebates Available</E> <E T="03">Expended Rebate Amount to be Used to Reduce UOB</E> </ENT> </ROW> </GPOTABLE> <E T="03">Likely Respondents:</E> HRSA RWHAP Parts A and B Grant Recipients. <E T="03">Burden Statement:</E> Burden in this context means the time expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide the information requested.
