Since 1990, RWHAP has developed a comprehensive system of safety net providers who deliver high-quality direct health care and support services to over half a million people with HIV—more than 50 percent of all people with diagnosed HIV in the United States. RWHAP Parts A, B, C, and D recipients and subrecipients must follow statutory requirements for the establishment of clinical quality management programs to assess the extent to which their HIV services are consistent with the most recent HHS Clinical Treatment guidelines and to develop strategies to improve access to quality HIV services. In support of these requirements, HRSA created the HIV Quality Measures (HIVQM) Module as an online tool to assist recipients in meeting the clinical quality management program requirement by allowing recipients to input data for the HRSA performance measures. HRSA maintains over 40 performance measures across the following categories: (1) core, (2) all ages, (3) adolescent/adult, (4) pediatric HIV, (5) HIV-exposed children, (6) medical case management, (7) oral health, (8) AIDS Drug Assistance Program, and (9) systems-level. The HIVQM Module also supports the requirement imposed by the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for HHS Awards that recipients relate financial data to performance accomplishments for their federal awards (2 CFR 200.301). The HIVQM Module helps recipients set goals and monitor performance measures and quality improvement projects. The use of the HIVQM Module is voluntary for RWHAP recipients. HRSA proposes the following modifications: • “Gender” will be removed and replaced with “Sex at Birth.” • The available response options are: “Male,” “Female,” “Unknown.” A 60-day notice was published in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> on June 3, 2025, Volume 90, No. 105, pages 23532-33. There was one request for clarification about the nature of the revisions in the collection. Therefore, the 30-day FRN has language explaining the changes to the collection. <E T="03">Need and Proposed Use of the Information:</E> The HIVQM Module supports recipients and subrecipients in their clinical quality management programs, performance measurement, service delivery, and monitoring of client health outcomes and quality of HIV services. The HIVQM Module is accessible via the RWHAP Services Report, an existing online portal that RWHAP recipients use for required data collection of their services. Recipients may enter performance measure data into the HIVQM Module four times a year and then generate reports to assess their performance. Recipients have the option to enter data for specific populations for a subset of performance measures. Recipients may also compare their performance to other recipients in their state, region, and in the nation. Additionally, recipients can choose the performance measures they want to monitor and enter data accordingly. For recipients and sub-recipients participating in the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Incentive Programs, such as the Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program and the Merit-based Incentive Payment System, the HIVQM Module may be used to monitor the HRSA measures that qualify and comply with the requirements to receive incentives from these programs. <E T="03">Likely Respondents:</E> RWHAP Part A, Part B, Part C, and Part D recipients and their sub-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. This includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, install, and use 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 ICR are summarized in the table below. The average burden per response declined from 1 hour to 0.2333 hours (approximately 14 minutes) based on pilot testing of the HIVQM Module. <GPOTABLE COLS="6" OPTS="L2,i1" CDEF="s50,12,12,12,12,12"> <TTITLE>Total Estimated Annualized Burden Hours</TTITLE> <CHED H="1">Form name</CHED> <ENT>0.2333</ENT> <ENT>1,925</ENT> </ROW> <ROW> <ENT I="03">Total</ENT> <ENT>2,063</ENT> <ENT/> <ENT>8,252</ENT> <ENT/> <ENT>1,925</ENT> <NAME>Maria G.
