    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of 
information are 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,

    Proposed Project: Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) 
Construction Grantee Checklist--(OMB No. 0930-0104,Extension, no 
change)--Recipients of Federal CMHC construction funds are obligated to 
use the constructed facilities to provide mental health services. The 
CMHS Act was repealed in 1981 except for the provision requiring 
grantees to continue using the facilities for mental health purposes 
for a 20-year period. In order for SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health 
Services to monitor compliance of construction grantees the grantees 
are required to submit an annual report. This annual Checklist enables 
grantees to supply necessary information efficiently and with a minimum 
of burden. The following table summarizes the annual burden for this 
program.
