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.
    Safe Schools/Healthy Students Sustainability Study--New--This 
study, a project of SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), 
involves a survey of project directors or other designated staff 
associated with the Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative. 
The SS/HS Initiative is a collaborative effort between the U.S. 
Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Justice. Under 
this initiative, Local education agencies (LEAs) were awarded grants in 
partnership with their local mental health agency and their local 
juvenile justice agency. Between September 1999 and September 2002, 143 
communities received three-year awards under the SS/HS Initiative.
    As this Initiative was designed to facilitate sustainable change 
within communities, CMHS would like to determine the extent to which 
systems-level changes, programs, and services initiated as part of SS/
HS continue when the grant ends. A web-based survey of project 
directors will be conducted annually for three years. Respondents will 
be project directors or other designated staff responsible for 
continuing programs and services following the SS/HS grant.
    This information will be used by CMHS to improve the grant making 
process and the provision of technical assistance. The following table 
describes the response burden associated with this data collection.
