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 project 
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 collection of 
information is 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--Performance Monitoring for Partnerships for Success 
(PFS)--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA)'s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) aims to address 
two of SAMHSA's top substance abuse prevention priorities: Underage 
drinking (UAD; age 12 to 20) and prescription drug misuse and abuse 
(PDM; age 12 to 25) through the Strategic Prevention Framework 
Partnerships For Success (SPF-PFS) program. The program is scheduled 
through September 2018 to systematically collect and maintain community 
sub-recipient information, quarterly progress reports (QPR) and 
outcomes data submitted by the PFS grantees through the online Program 
for Evaluation in Prevention Contract (PEP-C) Management Reporting Tool 
(MRT). This data collection will place a new emphasis on the SPF-PFS 
impact on outcomes related to Prescription Drug Misuse, including the 
prevalence of prescription drug misuse and related consequences such as 
prescription drug poisonings and overdoses. SAMHSA is requesting 
approval for data collection through the PEP-C MRT using the 
instruments listed below:
     Contact Information: This instrument includes sections for 
Grantee Information, Grantee Staff, Sub-State Information, Community 
Subrecipient information, and Subrecipient Staff.
     QPR: This instrument will gather data related to 
implementation of the

[[Page 58742]]

SPF-PFS grant based on the SPF steps (Assessment, Capacity, Planning, 
Implementation, and Evaluation).
     Outcome Data: This instrument includes 4 separate sub-
instruments that grantees will complete in varying time frames 
dependent on requirements.

a. Grantee Target Outcome Data
b. PFS Selected Grantee-Level Outcome Data
c. Community-Level Outcome Data for Subrecipients
d. Substitute Data Source Request

    These SPF-PFS performance monitoring measures will primarily be 
tools for SAMHSA project officers to systematically collect data to 
monitor grant program performance and outcomes along with grantee 
technical assistance needs. In addition to assessing activities related 
to and progress through the SPF steps, the performance monitoring 
instruments covered in this statement collect data to assess the 
following grantee required specific performance measures:
     Number of training and technical assistance activities per 
funded community provided by the grantee to support communities;
     Reach of training and technical assistance activities 
(numbers served) provided by the grantee;
     Percentage of subrecipient communities that submit data to 
the grantee data system.
    The instruments also collect data to provide information for the 
following PFS required Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) 
measure:
     Number of sub-recipient communities that improved on one 
or more targeted NOMs indicators (Outcome).

                                                            Annualized Data Collection Burden
