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: Co-location and Integration of HIV Prevention and 
Medical Care Into Behavioral Health Program-NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, (CMHS), Center for 
Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment 
(CSAT) are requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) for new data collection activities associated with their Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into 
Behavioral Health Program. The program is designed to support 
integrated behavioral health and physical health services for racial/
ethnic populations at high risk for behavioral health disorders and at 
high risk for contracting HIV.
    This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with 
objective information to document the reach and impact of the Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into 
Behavioral Health program. The information will be used to monitor 
quality assurance and quality performance outcomes for organizations 
funded by this grant program. The information will also be used to 
assess the impact of services on behavioral health and physical health 
services for individuals served by this program.
    Collection of the information included in this request is 
authorized by Section 505 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
290aa-4)--Data Collection. Further support for the program was provided 
in the 2013 Senate Appropriations Report 113-71. The report urged 
SAMHSA to ``focus its efforts on building capacity and outreach to 
individuals at risk or with a primary substance abuse disorder and to 
improve efforts to identify such individuals to prevent the spread of 
HIV.'' Additional support for this data collection effort is provided 
by the 2013 National HIV/AIDS Strategy which instructed SAMHSA to 
``support and rigorously evaluate the development and implementation of 
new integrated behavioral health models to address the intersection of 
substance use, mental health, and HIV.''
    The table below reflects the annualized hourly burden.
