Purpose The purpose of S. 1545 is to extend provisions of PEPFAR that would otherwise expire and to update oversight requirements. II. Committee Action S. 1545 was introduced by Senators Menendez and Corker on September 24, 2013. On September 30, 2013, the committee considered S. 1545 and ordered it reported, with amendments, by voice vote. The committee took the following action with regard to amendments: A manager's package of amendments was offered to the introduced bill, including proposed amendments from Senators Cardin and Durbin (modified by Senators Corker and Rubio), and was agreed to by voice vote. The subject matter areas covered by the manager's package of amendments included non-controversial amendments which require the annual report from the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator to include reporting on HIV co-infections and co-morbidities, including tuberculosis co-infections; reporting on health care workforce training and retention; and a clarification that reporting on engagement with nongovernmental organizations covers engagement with local partners III. Discussion Chairman Menendez and Ranking Member Corker introduced the PEPFAR Stewardship and Oversight Act of 2013 to extend valuable provisions of PEPFAR that would otherwise expire, and to update and refine oversight requirements. These updated and refined oversight requirements ensure that PEPFAR programs continue to be implemented efficiently and effectively and address the evolving HIV/AIDS epidemic. PEPFAR has saved millions of lives around the world-- especially in Africa--over the last decade. As a result of the United States' strong commitment to stopping the HIV/AIDS epidemic through PEPFAR, almost 6 million people are receiving life-sustaining antiretroviral treatment, more than 11 million pregnant women received HIV testing and counseling last year, and--as a result of adequate treatment--this year, the one- millionth baby was born HIV-free. Because of PEPFAR, 15 million people--more than 4.5 million orphans and vulnerable children-- have received the care and support they need. Most provisions from PEPFAR have permanent authority and are not in need of extension. S. 1545 therefore focuses on extending expiring provisions in current law and updating oversight requirements. S. 1545 demonstrates continued congressional support for PEPFAR, helps guide the transition toward greater country ownership, and enhances effective oversight of this life-saving program. Section-by-Section Summary Section 1 of S. 1545 provides the short title: the ``PEPFAR Stewardship and Oversight Act of 2013.'' Section 2 extends for 5 years the requirement that the Inspectors General of the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the Department of Health and Human Services develop annual joint oversight and audit plans. Section 3 extends for 5 years a reporting requirement that captures per-patient costs for PEPFAR-supported treatment and care and adds two new requirements for the study: (1) that the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) must provide a plan for conducting a cost study in each partner country; and (2) that the study include a comprehensive expenditure analysis by partner country. Section 4 extends for 5 years the current 33 percent cap on U.S. contributions to the Global Fund. This cap is a ceiling on U.S. funding, with the specific amount being set each year through the appropriations process. It also extends for 5 years the requirement that funds be withheld from state sponsors of terrorism, currently prohibiting any funding to Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria. Additionally, the legislation extends for 5 years a requirement that 20 percent of the Global Fund contributions be withheld unless the Global Fund fulfills transparency requirements. New reporting requirements for the Global Fund contained in S. 1545 include providing new metrics that the Global Fund has started to collect, including performance and expenditure data on all of the Global Fund's principal and sub-recipients, in an open and machine readable format. The committee recognizes the Global Fund's work to implement more timely, detailed, and accurate reporting at both the principal recipient and sub-recipient level. The committee also recognizes that the collection of detailed data on the smallest sub-recipients might not represent an optimal allocation of staff resources to identify and manage risk across the entire portfolio. As such, the committee recommends a threshold for sub-recipient reporting only in countries receiving $10 million or more in the course of a Global Fund funding replenishment cycle. In countries receiving $10 million or greater during a funding replenishment cycle, the Global Fund should focus on sub-recipients receiving grants in the amount of $500,000 or greater, annually, or $1 million over a grant cycle, whichever is lower. Section 5 of the legislation requires the submission of a revised annual report regarding the PEPFAR program by striking the previous report required by 22 U.S.C. 2151b-2(f) and replacing it with new reporting requirements. Among other things, the revised report is required to include national and bilateral program targets. Subsection (f)(3)(B)(iii) requires the President to establish and subsequently measure progress toward reaching bilateral programmatic targets across prevention, treatment, and care. The measurement of progress must include data on the number of adults and children on HIV treatment, disaggregated by those directly supported by PEPFAR and those otherwise supported through PEPFAR. The committee recognizes that during the emergency phase of PEPFAR, the need for rapid scale-up of treatment and related services necessitated high levels of direct support. In this phase, calculating the number of individuals on HIV treatment that could be attributed specifically to PEPFAR interventions was straightforward. However, as PEPFAR continues the transition from an emergency program toward a program focused on sustainable outcomes, greater country ownership, and greater collaboration with multilateral and other funding sources, such attribution is more difficult. As a result, the committee has differentiated between individuals that are directly supported by PEPFAR and those that are otherwise supported through PEPFAR. The committee notes that while a definition of ``direct support'' currently exists, it is too broad for the level of detail the committee expects in the report. The legislation therefore requires the President, in subsection (f)(3)(O) of the revised report, to provide and disseminate a new, clear, operable definition of direct support that will resolve outstanding concerns about programmatic attribution and contribution. While the President is provided the necessary flexibility to define these terms, it is the committee's expectation that the definition of direct support will provide for the measurement of the number of adults and children for whom the U.S. government provides a majority of the cost of care and treatment. Care and treatment may include medicines, clinical and community-based health staff and training, laboratories, facilities, site-based quality control, clinic- based information systems, and other essential site-based services. Subsection (f)(3)(G) of the revised report requires an assessment of progress towards achieving targets, including a report on supportive care. In subsection (f)(3)(G)(vii), the committee expects that such reporting will include a discussion of food and nutritional support provided to those affected by HIV/AIDS. Subsection (f)(3)(P) of the revised report requires a description, globally and by country, of specific efforts to address co-infections and co-morbidities of HIV/AIDS, including tuberculosis co-infections. The committee expects that this description will also include a discussion on AIDS-related cancers, including trends with respect to cervical cancer, and efforts to address such cancers. Subsection (f)(3)(K)(iii) of the revised report requires a description of measures taken to improve partner country capacity to achieve positive outcomes. The committee expects that this description will include a discussion of activities to ensure that the pace of the scale up of core interventions is sustained as appropriate, that service delivery within partner countries continues, and that coverage is expanded as partner countries pursue a sustainable response to the local epidemic. The committee further expects that the description of measures required by subsection (f)(3)(K)(iii) of the revised report will include a specific discussion of measures intended to increase participation and integration of civil society in HIV/AIDS planning and implementation. Subsection (f)(3)(H) of the revised report requires, among other things, a description of partner country and United States-funded HIV/AIDS prevention programs. The committee encourages the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator to discuss all relevant methods, including, but not limited to, the role of door-to-door voluntary testing and provider initiated counseling and testing, in describing such prevention programs specifically with respect to the discussion of other programmatic activities to prevent the transmission of HIV. Since the beginning of PEPFAR, Congress has demonstrated a consistent commitment to addressing the unique needs of orphans and vulnerable children affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic by requiring 10 percent of all program funds be specifically allocated to programs focused on orphans and vulnerable children. This requirement is continued in section 6 of this legislation. While recognizing the importance of continued support for orphans and vulnerable children in the context of the AIDS pandemic, the committee requests greater transparency in the use of these funds. The committee therefore expects the reporting requirement under subsection (f)(3)(K) to provide a description of the finances of PEPFAR-supported programs for orphans and vulnerable children, as well as a description of the goals, scope, and performance indicators used to measure the effectiveness of such programs. Subsection (f)(3)(F) of the revised report requires a description and explanation of changes in guidance or policies related to the implementation of programs supported under this section. It is the committee's expectation that the description required by subsection (f)(3)(F) of the revised report will include a discussion of any relevant World Health Organization guidance with respect to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care, as well as a description of how any policy changes or related matters may affect the program. This includes, but is not limited to, relevant past guidance, such as the June 2013 World Health Organization-issued guidelines on the use of antiretroviral drugs for treating and preventing HIV infection. Section 6 extends for 5 years existing requirements that more than half of funding be used for treatment and care and that not less than 10 percent be used to support orphans and vulnerable children. IV. Cost Estimate In accordance with Rule XXVI, paragraph 11(a) of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the committee notes that the cost estimate provided by the Congressional Budget Office was not available for inclusion in this report. The estimate will be printed in either a supplemental report or the Congressional Record when it is available. V. Evaluation of Regulatory Impact In compliance with rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the committee finds that no significant regulatory impact will result from the enactment of S. 1545.
