Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    GPRA Client Outcomes for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA)--(OMB No. 0930-0208, revision)--The 
mission of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency 
of substance abuse and mental health treatment and prevention services 
across the United States. All of SAMHSA's activities are designed to 
ultimately reduce the gap in the availability of substance abuse and 
mental health services and to improve their effectiveness and 
efficiency.
    Data are collected from all SAMHSA knowledge application and 
targeted capacity expansion grants and contracts where client outcomes 
are to be assessed at intake and post-treatment.
    SAMHSA-funded projects are required to submit this data as a 
contingency for their award. The analysis of the data will also help 
determine whether the goal of reducing health and social costs of drug 
use to the public is being achieved.
    The primary purpose of this data collection activity is to meet the 
reporting requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act 
(GPRA) by allowing SAMHSA to quantify the effects and accomplishments 
of SAMHSA programs. In addition, the data will be useful in addressing 
goals and objectives outlined in ONDCP's Performance Measures of 
Effectiveness. Following is the estimated annual response burden for 
this effort.

  Note: This is the maximum additional burden if all clients/participants complete three sets of items. CSAP and CSAT adolescent clients/participants do
  not usually receive all four data collections. Added burden proportion is an adjustment reflecting the extent to which programs typically already
  collect the data items.

information collection should be sent within 30 days of this notice to:
