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

4. Changed Alaskan Native/American Indian to American Indian/Alaskan

5. Added ``No License'' in the License section--OBHE Recommendation
6. Added ``Tribal Health System'' and ``Screening/Prevention/Emergency

7. Added ``Peer Experience/Lived Experience'' in the Secondary

8. Added ``Junior Reviewer'' and ``Community Reviewer'' to Grant Review
