Proposed Data Collection Available for Public Comment

    In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 for opportunity for public comment on proposed data 
collection projects, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration will publish periodic summaries of proposed projects. To 
request more information on the proposed projects or to obtain a copy 
of the data collection plans and instruments, call the SAMHSA Reports 
Clearance Officer on (301) 443-0525.
    Comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.

Proposed Project

    Alcohol and Drug Services Survey (ADSS) Phase I--New--ADSS Phase I 
will gather information from a sample of 2,200 substance abuse 
treatment programs nationwide, including data on treatment type and 
costs, program capacity, number of clients served, waiting lists, and 
services provided to 

[[Page 49281]]
special populations including pregnant women. Interviews will also be 
conducted with approximately 1,200 ``parent'' facilities to ascertain 
their organizational relationship to the treatment facilities. 
Automated collection techniques are not cost-effective for this study. 
ADSS is a three phase study that will be conducted twice. The total 
annual burden estimate for Phase I of the first round of ADSS is 5,440 
hours, as shown below:
