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.
    Assessment of the Reach Out Now National Teach-In Initiative (OMB 
No. 0930-0258; Revision)--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 and Sixth 
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; effective in 2005 the Teach-In is being expanded to 
include sixth graders. 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.
