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: Fast Track Generic Clearance for the Collection of 
Qualitative Feedback on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) Service Delivery

    Executive Order 12862 directs federal agencies to provide service 
to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the 
private sector. As outlined in Memorandum M-11-26, the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) worked with agencies to create a Fast Track 
process to allow agencies to obtain timely feedback on service delivery 
while ensuring that the information collected is useful and minimally 
burdensome for the public, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995.
    This collection of information is necessary to enable SAMHSA to 
garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely 
manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service 
delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders 
will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and 
satisfying experience with SAMHSA's programs. This feedback will 
provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences 
and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or 
focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in 
operations might improve delivery of products or services.
    These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and 
actionable communications between SAMHSA and its customers and 
stakeholders. They also allow feedback to contribute directly to the 
improvement of program management. Per Memorandum M-11-26, information 
collection requests submitted under this Fast Track Generic will be 
considered approved unless OMB notifies SAMHSA otherwise within five 
days. Type of respondent; frequency (annual, quarterly, monthly, etc.); 
and the affected public (individuals, public or private businesses, 
state or local governments, etc.)
    A variety of instruments and platforms will be used to collect 
information from respondents. The annual burden hours requested 
(87,500) are based on the number of collections we expect to conduct 
over the requested period for this clearance.
    The estimated annual hour burden is as follows:
