DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Services Accountability Improvement System--(OMB No. 0930-
0208)--Extension

    This is an extension to the previously OMB approved instrument. The 
Services Accountability Improvement System (SAIS), which is a real-
time, performance management system that captures information on the 
substance abuse treatment and mental health services delivered in the 
United States. A wide range of client and program information is 
captured through SAIS for approximately 600 grantees. Substance abuse 
treatment facilities submit their data on a monthly and even a weekly 
basis to ensure that SAIS is an accurate, up-to-date reflection on the 
scope of services delivered and characteristics of the treatment 
population. Over 30 reports on grantee performance are readily 
available on the SAIS Web site. The reports inform staff on the 
grantees' ability to serve their target populations and meet their 
client and budget targets. SAIS data allow grantees information that 
can guide modifications to their service array. Continued approval of 
this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet 
Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting 
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its 
discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance.
    Note that there are no changes to the instrument or the burden 
hours from the previous OMB submission.
    Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2010 notice of 
funding announcements (NOFA), the CSAT programs that will use these 
measures in fiscal years 2013 through 2014 include: the Access to 
Recovery 2 (ATR2), ATR3, Addictions Treatment for Homeless; Adult 
Criminal Justice Treatment; Assertive Adolescent Family Treatment; HIV/
AIDS Outreach; Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention--
Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (OJJDP-BIRT); OJJDP-
Juvenile Drug Court (OJJDP-JDC); Offender Re-entry Program; Pregnant 
and Postpartum Women; Recovery Community Services Program--Services; 
Recovery Oriented Systems of Care; Screening and Brief Intervention and 
Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), Targeted Capacity Expansion (TCE); TCE/
HIV; Treatment Drug Court; and the Youth Offender Reentry Program. 
SAMHSA uses the performance measures to report on the performance of 
its discretionary services grant programs. The performance measures 
information is used by individuals at three different levels: the 
SAMHSA administrator and staff, the Center administrators and 
government project officers, and grantees
    SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting 
required by GPRA and for NOMs comparing baseline with discharge and 
follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's report for each fiscal year 
include actual

[[Page 11667]]

results of performance monitoring for the three preceding fiscal years. 
The additional information collected through this process will allow 
SAMHSA to report on the results of these performance outcomes as well 
as be consistent with the specific performance domains that SAMHSA is 
implementing as the NOMs, to assess the accountability and performance 
of its discretionary and formula grant programs.
    Note that there are no changes to the instrument or the burden 
hours from the previous OMB submission.

NOTES:
1. This table represents the maximum additional burden if adult respondents, for the discretionary services programs including ATR, provide three sets
  of responses/data and if CSAT adolescent respondents, provide four sets of responses/data.
2. Added burden proportion is an adjustment reflecting customary and usual business practices programs engage in (e.g., they already collect the data
  items).
3. Estimate based on 2010 hourly wave of $19.97 for U.S. workforce eligible from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
4. Screening, Brief Intervention, Treatment and Referral (SBIRT) grant program:
* 27,679 Brief Intervention (BI) respondents complete sections A & B of the GPRA instrument, all of these items are asked during a customary and usual
  intake process resulting in zero burden; and
* 9,200 Brief Treatment (BT) & Referral to Treatment (RT) respondents complete all sections of the GPRA instrument.
5. Data Extract by Grants: Grant burden for capturing customary and usual data.
6. Upload: all 24 ATR grants upload data.
7. Upload: 7 of the 9 SBIRT grants upload data; the other 2 grants conduct direct data entry.
