Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;

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) 276-1243.
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

Proposed Project: Co-location and Integration of HIV Prevention and
Medical Care Into Behavioral Health Program-NEW
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, (CMHS), Center for
Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment
(CSAT) are requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for new data collection activities associated with their Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into
Behavioral Health Program. The program is designed to support
integrated behavioral health and physical health services for racial/
ethnic populations at high risk for behavioral health disorders and at
high risk for contracting HIV.
This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with
objective information to document the reach and impact of the Co-
location and Integration of HIV Prevention and Medical Care into
Behavioral Health program. The information will be used to monitor
quality assurance and quality performance outcomes for organizations
funded by this grant program. The information will also be used to
assess the impact of services on behavioral health and physical health
services for individuals served by this program.
Collection of the information included in this request is
authorized by Section 505 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
290aa-4)--Data Collection. Further support for the program was provided
in the 2013 Senate Appropriations Report 113-71. The report urged
SAMHSA to ``focus its efforts on building capacity and outreach to
individuals at risk or with a primary substance abuse disorder and to
improve efforts to identify such individuals to prevent the spread of
HIV.'' Additional support for this data collection effort is provided
by the 2013 National HIV/AIDS Strategy which instructed SAMHSA to
``support and rigorously evaluate the development and implementation of
new integrated behavioral health models to address the intersection of
substance use, mental health, and HIV.''
