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 (240) 276-1243.

Project: Registration for Behavioral Health Web Site and Resources--NEW

    SAMHSA is authorized under section 501(d)(16) of the Public Health 
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa(d)(16)) to develop and distribute 
materials for the prevention, treatment, and recovery from substance 
abuse and mental health disorders. To improve the way the public 
locates and obtains these materials, SAMHSA is integrating the National 
Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI) and the National 
Mental Health Information Center (NMHIC) into one online resource for 
behavioral health information. A part of building this new product Web 
site is SAMHSA's development of a voluntary registration process that 
will allow customers to create accounts that will save their order 
histories and shipping addresses. During the Web site registration 
process, SAMHSA will also ask customers for optional demographic 
information that will include organization affiliation, SAMHSA grantee 
identification information, and reasons for interest in behavioral 
health information. SAMHSA will use this information to conduct 
customer analyses that will inform materials development, assist in 
forecasting inventory needs, and identify ways that SAMHSA can improve 
its customer service. SAMHSA will request the same optional

demographic information and state of residency when customers subscribe 
to its email update service, for the purpose of assessing information 
needs and better targeting email messages to appropriate audiences.
    SAMHSA is employing a Web-based form for information collection to 
avoid duplication and unnecessary burden on customers who register both 
for an account on the product Web site and for e-mail updates. The Web 
technology allows SAMHSA to integrate the email update subscription 
process into the Web site account registration process. Customers who 
register for an account on the new product Web site will be given the 
option of being enrolled automatically to receive SAMHSA email updates. 
Any optional questions answered by the customer during the Web site 
registration process will automatically be mapped to the profile 
generated for the e-mail update system, thereby reducing the collection 
of duplicate information.
    SAMHSA will collect all customer information submitted for Web site 
registration and email update subscriptions electronically via a series 
of Web forms on the samhsa.gov domain. Customers can submit the Web 
forms at their leisure, or call SAMHSA's toll-free Call Center and an 
information specialist will submit the forms on their behalf. The 
electronic collection of information will reduce the burden on the 
respondent and streamline the data-capturing process. SAMHSA will place 
Web site registration information into a Knowledge Management database 
and will place email subscription information into a database 
maintained by a third-party vendor that serves multiple Federal 
agencies and the White House. Customers can change, add, or delete 
their information from either system at any time.
    The respondents will be behavioral health professionals, 
researchers, parents, caregivers, and the general public.
    SAMHSA estimates the burden of this information collection as 
follows:
