    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 (SAMHSA) 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 (240) 276-1243.
    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

Proposed Project: Participant Feedback on Training Under the 
Cooperative Agreement for Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/
AIDS Program (OMB No. 0930-0195)--Extension

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) intends to continue 
to conduct a multi-site assessment for the Mental Health Care Provider 
Education in HIV/AIDS Program. The education programs funded under this 
cooperative

[[Page 35820]]

agreement are designed to disseminate knowledge of the psychological 
and neuropsychiatric sequelae of HIV/AIDS to both traditional (e.g., 
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, primary care physicians, medical 
students, and social workers) and non-traditional (e.g., clergy, and 
alternative health care workers) first-line providers of mental health 
services, in particular to providers in minority communities.
    The multi-site assessment is designed to assess the effectiveness 
of particular training curricula, document the integrity of training 
delivery formats, and assess the effectiveness of the various training 
delivery formats. Analyses will assist CMHS in documenting the numbers 
and types of traditional and non-traditional mental health providers 
accessing training; the content, nature and types of training 
participants receive; and the extent to which trainees experience 
knowledge, skill and attitude gains/changes as a result of training 
attendance. The multi-site data collection design uses a two-tiered 
data collection and analytic strategy to collect information on (1) the 
organization and delivery of training, and (2) the impact of training 
on participants' knowledge, skills and abilities.
    Information about the organization and delivery of training will be 
collected from trainers and staff who are funded by these cooperative 
agreements/contracts, hence there is no respondent burden. All training 
participants will be asked to complete a brief feedback form at the end 
of the training session. CMHS anticipates funding 10 education sites 
for the Mental Health Care Provider Education in HIV/AIDS Program. The 
annual burden estimates for this activity are shown below:
