Proposed Project: Reach Out Now National Teach-In Initiative Feedback 
Form

    (OMB No. 0930-0258; Extension, no change)--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 sponsors an annual national Teach-
In to foster a conversation with fifth graders on the dangers of early 
alcohol use. State substance abuse prevention directors nominate 
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 
are asked to provide feedback information about the implementation and 
results of the Teach-In event in their community school. The table that 
follows provides an estimate of the annual response burden for the 
feedback form.
