DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
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
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: Services Accountability Improvement System--(OMB No.
0930-0208)--Extension
This is an extension to the previously OMB approved instrument. The
Services Accountability Improvement System (SAIS), which is a real-
time, performance management system that captures information on the
substance abuse treatment and mental health services delivered in the
United States. A wide range of client and program information is
captured through SAIS for approximately 600 grantees. Substance abuse
treatment facilities submit their data on a monthly and even a weekly
basis to ensure that SAIS is an accurate, up-to-date reflection on the
scope of services delivered and characteristics of the treatment
population. Over 30 reports on grantee performance are readily
available on the SAIS Web site. The reports inform staff on the
grantees' ability to serve their target populations and meet their
client and budget targets. SAIS data allow grantees information that
can guide modifications to their service array. Continued approval of
this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its
discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance.
Note that there are no changes to the instrument or the burden
hours from the previous OMB submission.

Notes :
\1\ This table represents the maximum additional burden if adult respondents, for the discretionary services programs including ATR, provide three sets
of responses/data and if CSAT adolescent respondents, provide four sets of responses/data.
\2\ Added burden proportion is an adjustment reflecting customary and usual business practices programs engage in (e.g., they already collect the data
items).
\3\ Estimate based on 2010 hourly wave of $19.97 for U.S. workforce eligible from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
\4\ Screening, Brief Intervention, Treatment and Referral (SBIRT) grant program:
* 27,679 Brief Intervention (BI) respondents complete sections A & B of the GPRA instrument, all of these items are asked during a customary and usual
intake process resulting in zero burden; and
* 9,200 Brief Treatment (BT) & Referral to Treatment (RT) respondents complete all sections of the GPRA instrument.
\5\ Data Extract by Grants: Grant burden for capturing customary and usual data.
\6\ Upload: all 24 ATR grants upload data.
\7\ Upload: 7 of the 9 SBIRT grants upload data; the other 2 grants conduct direct data entry.
Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2010 notice of
funding announcements (NOFA), the CSAT programs that will use these
measures in fiscal years 2010 through 2012 include: The Access to
Recovery 2 (ATR2), ATR3, Addictions Treatment for Homeless; Adult
Criminal Justice Treatment; Assertive Adolescent Family Treatment; HIV/
AIDS Outreach; Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention--
Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (OJJDP-BIRT); OJJDP-
Juvenile Drug Court (OJJDP-JDC); Offender Re-entry Program; Pregnant
and Postpartum Women; Recovery Community Services Program--Services;
Recovery Oriented Systems of Care; Screening and Brief Intervention and
Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE); TCE/
HIV; Treatment Drug Court; and the Youth Offender Reentry Program.
SAMHSA uses the performance measures to report on the performance of
its discretionary services grant programs. The performance measures
information is used by individuals at three different levels: The
SAMHSA administrator and staff, the Center administrators and
government project officers, and grantees.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting
required by GPRA and for NOMs comparing baseline with discharge and
follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's report for each fiscal year
include actual results of performance monitoring for the three
preceding fiscal years. The additional information collected through
this process will allow SAMHSA to report on the results of these
performance outcomes as well as be consistent with the specific
performance domains that SAMHSA is implementing as the NOMs, to assess
the accountability and performance of its discretionary and formula
grant programs.
