DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


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) 276-0361.
    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: Application for the Reviewer Contact Information Form 
(OMB No. 0930-0255)

    Section 501(h) of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act (42 U.S.C. 
290aa) directs the Assistant Secretary of SAMHSA to establish such peer 
review groups as are needed to carry out the requirements of Title V of 
the PHS Act. SAMHSA administers a large discretionary grants program 
under authorization of Title V, and, for many years, SAMHSA has funded 
grants to provide prevention and treatment services related to 
substance abuse and mental health.
    In support of its grant peer review efforts, SAMHSA desires to 
continue to expand the number and types of reviewers it uses on these 
grant review committees. To accomplish that end, SAMHSA has determined 
that it is important to proactively seek the inclusion of new and 
qualified representatives on its peer review groups. Accordingly, 
SAMHSA has developed an application form for use by individuals who 
wish to apply to serve as peer reviewers.
    The application form has been developed to capture the essential 
information about the individual applicants. The most consistent method 
to accomplish this is through completion of a standard form by all 
interested persons which captures information about knowledge, 
education, and experience in a consistent manner from all interested 
applicants. SAMHSA will use the information provided on the form to 
identify appropriate peer grant reviewers. Depending on their 
experience and qualifications, applicants may be invited to serve as 
grant reviewers.
    The following changes are proposed in the form:

1. Added Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC), Technical Training 
Centers (TTC) and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC) 
in the Affiliations Section--Office of Behavioral Health Equity (OBHE) 
Recommendation
2. Changed to ``Prefer not to Answer'' in the Gender section--OBHE 
Recommendation
3. Added High School and Certificate to Education section--OBHE 
Recommendation
4. Changed Alaskan Native/American Indian to American Indian/Alaskan 
Native and added ``Mixed Race'' in the Race section--OBHE and Tribal 
Office Recommendation
5. Added ``No License'' in the License section--OBHE Recommendation
6. Added ``Tribal Health System'' and ``Screening/Prevention/Emergency 
Preparedness'' in the Secondary Expertise section--OBHE and Tribal 
Office Recommendation
7. Added ``Peer Experience/Lived Experience'' in the Secondary 
Expertise section--OBHE Recommendation
8. Added ``Junior Reviewer'' and ``Community Reviewer'' to Grant Review 
Experience section--OBHE Recommendation
9. Added the SAMHSA Values Statement at the end of the form--OBHE 
Recommendation

    The following table shows the annual response burden estimate.
