Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


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: 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.

    Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed 
information collection should be sent by March 27, 2013 to the SAMHSA

comments, and to avoid potential delays in OMB's receipt and processing 
of mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service, commenters are encouraged
