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: National Outcome Measures (NOMs) for Substance Abuse 
Prevention--(OMB No. 0930-0230)--Revision

    This is a revision to the previously OMB approved instrument for 
the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention's (CSAP) National Outcome 
Measures for Substance Abuse Prevention (NOMs). Data are collected from 
SAMHSA/CSAP grants and contracts where community and participant 
outcomes are assessed. The analysis of these data helps determine 
whether progress is being made in achieving SAMHSA/CSAP's mission. The 
primary purpose of this system is to promote the use among SAMHSA/CSAP 
grantees and contractors of common National Outcome Measures 
recommended by SAMHSA/CSAP with significant input from panels of 
experts and state representatives.
    Approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to 
continue to meet Government Performance and Results Modernization Act 
of 2010 (GPRAMA) reporting requirements that quantify the effects and 
accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs which are 
consistent with OMB guidance, and address goals and objectives outlined 
in the Office of National Drug Control Policy's Performance Measures of 
Effectiveness.
    Note that the only changes is the deletion of one question per 
instrument, the deletion of prior Fiscal Years, and the PPC program 
which was not funded. The question being deleted is

Has the Service Member experienced any of the following (select all 
that apply)
    (a) Deployed in support of combat operations (e.g. Iraq or 
Afghanistan)
    (b) Was physically injured during combat operations
    (c) Developed combat stress symptoms/difficulties adjusting 
following deployment, including PTSD, depression, or suicidal thoughts
    (d) Died or was killed

    The total annual burden estimate is shown below:

\*\ The Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) and Partnerships for Success (PFS) have a three level evaluation: The Grantee,
  Community and Program Level. The Grantee level data will be pre-populated by SAMHSA. The use of the Community Level instrument is optional as they
  relate to targeted interventions implemented during the reporting period. At the program level, items will be selected in line with direct services
  implemented.
