Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

    In compliance with section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed 
collections of information, 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 information collection plans, call the SAMHSA 
Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    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, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology.
    Proposed Project: Obligated Service for Mental Health Traineeships: 
Regulations (42 CFR Part 62a) and Forms--(Extension, no change; OMB No. 
0930-0074)--SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) awards 
grants to institutions for training instruction and traineeships in 
mental health and related disciplines. Prior to statutory change in 
2000, graduate student recipients of these clinical traineeships were 
required to perform service, as determined by the Secretary to be 
appropriate in terms of the individual's training and experience, for a 
length of time equal to the period of support. The clinical trainees 
funded prior to implementation of the statutory change are required to 
submit SAMHSA Form 111, which ensures agency receipt of a termination 
notice prior to the end of support, and the SAMHSA Form SMA 111-2, 
which is an annual report on employment status and any changes in name 
and/or address, to SAMHSA. The annual burden estimate is provided 
below.
