Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities Under Emergency Review 
by the Office of Management and Budget

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) has submitted the following request (see below) for emergency 
OMB review under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). 
OMB approval has been requested by April 15. A copy of the information 
collection plans may be obtained by calling the SAMHSA Reports 
Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    Title: Reach Out Now National Teach-In Initiative Feedback Form.
    OMB Number: 0930-New.
    Frequency: On-occasion.
    Affected public: Not-for profit institutions; State, Local or 
Tribal governments.
    Under section 515(b) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
290bb-21), the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) of the 
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is 
directed to develop effective alcohol abuse prevention literature and, 
to assure the widespread dissemination of prevention materials among 
States, political subdivisions, and school systems. Each April, SAMHSA 
collaborates with Scholastic Inc. in the April distribution of Reach 
Out Now: Talk to Your Fifth Grader About Underage Alcohol Use, a 
supplement created and distributed by Scholastic Inc.
    Beginning in April 2004, SAMHSA will sponsor a national Teach-In to 
foster a conversation with fifth graders on the dangers of early 
alcohol use. State substance abuse prevention directors have nominated 
organizations to participate in this program. The Teach-In program 
builds upon the highly successful national initiative of the Leadership 
to Keep Children Alcohol Free, which is focused on preventing alcohol 
use among children ages 9 to 15 and is spearheaded by more than 40 
current and past Governors' spouses, who have held or supported Reach 
Out Now Teach-Ins in their States.
    Organizations that agree to participate in this SAMHSA initiative 
will be asked to provide feedback information about the implementation 
and results of the Teach-In event in their community school.

    Emergency approval is being requested because of the importance of

be identified, as appropriate, for next year's national Teach-In 
program.

information collection should be sent by April 15 to: John Kraemer, 
Human Resources and Housing Branch, Office of Management and Budget,

potential delays in OMB's receipt and processing of mail sent through 
the U.S. Postal Service, respondents are encouraged to submit comments 
by fax to: 202-395-6974.

    Dated: March 11, 2004.
