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 Project: SAMHSA's Publications and Digital Products Website 
Registration Survey (OMB No. 0930-0313)--Reinstatement

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting OMB approval for a reinstatement of SAMHSA's 
Publications and Digital Products website Registration Survey, formerly 
under the Registration for Behavioral Health website and Resources (OMB 
No. 0930-0313). SAMHSA is authorized under section 501(d)(16) of the 
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 290aa(d)(16)) to develop and 
distribute materials for the prevention, treatment, and recovery from 
mental and substance use disorders. To improve customer service and 
lessen the burden on the public to locate and obtain these materials, 
SAMHSA has developed a website that includes more than 500 free 
publications from SAMHSA and its component Agencies. These products are 
available to the public for ordering and download. When a member of the 
public chooses to order hard-copy publications, it is necessary for 
SAMHSA to collect certain customer information in order to fulfill the 
request. To further lessen the burden on the public and provide the 
level of customer service that the public has come to expect from 
product websites, SAMHSA has developed a voluntary registration process 
for its publication website that allows customers to create accounts. 
Through these accounts, SAMHSA customers are able to access their order 
histories and save their shipping addresses. During the website 
registration process, SAMHSA will also ask customers to provide 
optional demographic information that helps SAMHSA to evaluate the use 
and distribution of its publications and improve services to the 
public.
    SAMHSA is employing a web-based form for information collection to 
avoid duplication and unnecessary burden on customers who register for 
an account. Customer information is submitted electronically via web 
forms on the samhsa.gov domain. Customers can submit the web forms at 
their leisure, or call SAMHSA's toll-free Call Center and an 
information specialist will submit the forms on their behalf. The 
electronic collection of information reduces the burden on the 
respondent and streamlines the data-capturing process.
    SAMHSA estimates the burden of this information collection as 
follows:
