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;  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: Evaluation of Model Programs Targeting Substance 
Abusing Pregnant and Postpartum Women and their Infants --Revision--
Data are collected from clients, comparison group women, and staff on 
interventions received and maternal and child outcomes as part of an 
evaluation of model projects serving substance abusing pregnant and 
postpartum women and their infants. The model projects are funded by 
the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, SAMHSA. This evaluation will 
assist CSAP in accomplishing national health objectives related to 
maternal and child health, especially those directly related to 
maternal substance abuse and its potential effects on birth outcomes 
and child development. In this proposed revision of an ongoing study, 
the data collection instruments remain unchanged. Sample sizes are 
somewhat smaller than originally anticipated resulting in a reduced 
annual burden. The estimated revised burden is shown below.
