Proposed Project: Co-Location and Integration of HIV Prevention and 
Medical Care Into Behavioral Health Program-Revision

    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 revised data collection activities associated with their Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into 
Behavioral Health Program.
    This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with 
objective information to document the reach and impact of services 
funded to address HIV and Hepatitis in the context of substance use 
disorders and mental illness. The information will be used to monitor 
quality assurance and quality performance outcomes for organizations 
funded by its grant programs. 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 this collection 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 revised annualized hourly burden.
