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: Services Accountability Improvement System--(OMB No. 0930-
0208)--Revision

    The Services Accountability Improvement System (SAIS) is a real-
time, performance management system that captures information on the 
substance abuse treatment and mental health services delivered in the 
United States. A wide range of client and program information is 
captured through SAIS for approximately 650 grantees. Continued 
approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue 
to meet Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting 
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its 
discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance.
    Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2015 notice of 
funding announcements (NOFA), the CSAT programs that will use these 
measures in fiscal years 2015 through 2017 include: Access to Recovery 
3 (ATR3); Adult Treatment Court Collaboratives (ATCC); Enhancing Adult 
Drug Court Services, Coordination and Treatment (EADCS); Offender 
Reentry Program (ORP); Treatment Drug Court (TDC); Office of Juvenile 
Justice and Delinquency Prevention--Juvenile Drug Courts (OJJDP-JDC); 
Teen Court Program (TCP); HIV/AIDS Outreach Program; Targeted Capacity 
Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services 
(TCE-HIV); Addictions Treatment for the Homeless (AT-HM); Cooperative 
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI); Cooperative 
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals--States (CABHI--States); 
Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC); Targeted Capacity Expansion--
Peer to Peer (TCE--PTP); Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW); 
Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT); 
Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE); Targeted Capacity Expansion--Health 
Information Technology (TCE-HIT); Targeted Capacity Expansion 
Technology Assisted Care (TCE-TAC); Addiction Technology Transfer 
Centers (ATTC); International Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (I-
ATTC); State Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination (SAT-
ED); Grants to Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult 
Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts and Juvenile Drug Courts; and Grants 
for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals--Services in Supportive Housing 
(GBHI). Grantees in the Adult Treatment Court Collaborative program 
(ATCC) will also provide program-level data using the CSAT Aggregate 
Instrument
    SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting 
required by GPRA and for NOMs comparing baseline with discharge and 
follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's report for each fiscal year 
include actual results of performance monitoring for the three 
preceding fiscal years. The additional information collected through 
this process will allow SAMHSA to report on the results of these 
performance outcomes as well as be consistent with the specific 
performance domains that SAMHSA is implementing as the NOMs, to assess 
the accountability and performance of its discretionary and formula 
grant programs.
    Note that there are no changes to the instrument from the previous 
OMB submission.
