[[Page 42091]]
recipient's training and technical assistance (T/TA) needs. SAMHSA

SAMHSA's grant recipients are currently required to submit various
types of performance reports in accordance with their individual
program requirements. The data collections will be designed to
standardize program monitoring and performance reports of SAMHSA's
grants. Program offices will use information collected under this
generic clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to
provide support or take appropriate action, as needed.
A generic clearance would provide SAMHSA's program offices the
flexibility to create and use tailored information collection templates
based on current program reporting requirements. This is important to
allow for SAMHSA's:
Monitoring of compliance with federal practice,
guidelines, and requirements,
Oversight of the implementation of the scope of the grant
activities with the grant recipients' proposed project,
Assessment of the efficiency and efficacy of recipient
activities,
Quick understanding of and remediation to national,
regional, and/or site-specific issues,
Provision of additional support and technical assistance,
as needed,
Documentation of promising practices, innovative services,
and program strengths, and
Flexible and responsive oversight of federal funds.
A variety of performance reports will be used for collection.
Program offices will use information collected under this generic
clearance to monitor funding recipient activities and to provide
support or take appropriate action, as needed.
A variety of instruments and platforms will be used to collect
information from respondents. The annual burden hours requested
(180,000) 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:
