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
[[Page 40766]]
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
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: Common Data Platform (CDP)--NEW
The Common Data Platform (CDP) includes new instruments for the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The
CDP will replace separate data collection instruments used for
reporting Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA)
measures: the TRansformation ACcountability (TRAC) Reporting System
(OMB No. 0930-0285) used by the Center for Mental Health Services
(CMHS); the Prevention Management Reporting and Training System
(PMRTS--OMB No. 0930-0279) used by the Center for Substance Abuse
Prevention (CSAP); and the Services Accountability and Improvement
System (SAIS--OMB No. 0930-0208) used by the Center for Substance Abuse
Treatment (CSAT).
The CDP will also include an Infrastructure, Prevention, and Mental
Health Promotion (IPP) Form and elements approved by consensus of
offices and Centers within SAMHSA as well as the Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS).
Approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to
continue to meet Government Performance and Results Modernization Act
of 2010 (GPRAMA) reporting requirements and analyses of the data will
help SAMHSA determine whether progress is being made in achieving its
mission. The primary purpose of this data collection system is to
promote the use of common data elements among SAMHSA grantees and
contractors. The common elements were recommended by consensus among
SAMHSA Centers and Offices. Analyses of these data will allow SAMHSA to
quantify effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant
programs which are consistent with the OMB-approved GPRA measures and
address goals and objectives outlined in the Office of National Drug
Control Policy's Performance Measures of Effectiveness and the SAMHSA
Strategic Initiatives.
The CDP will be a real-time, performance management system that
captures information on substance abuse treatment and prevention and
mental health services delivered in the United States. A wide range of
client and program information will be captured through CDP for
approximately 3,000 grants (2,224 for CMHS; 642 for CSAT; 122 for CSAP;
and 33 for HIV Continuum of Care). Substance abuse treatment
facilities, mental health service providers, and substance abuse
prevention programs will submit their data in real-time or on a monthly
or a weekly basis to ensure that the CDP is an accurate, up-to-date
reflection on the scope of services delivered and characteristics of
the clients.
In order to carry out section 1105(a) (29) of GPRA, SAMHSA is
required to prepare a performance plan for its major programs of
activity. This plan must:
Establish performance goals to define the level of
performance to be achieved by a program activity;
Express such goals in an objective, quantifiable, and
measurable form;
Briefly describe the operational processes, skills and
technology, and the human, capital, information, or other resources
required to meet the performance goals;
Establish performance indicators to be used in measuring
or assessing the relevant outputs, service levels, and outcomes of each
program activity;
Provide a basis for comparing actual program results with
the established performance goals; and
Describe the means to be used to verify and validate
measured values.
This CDP data collection supports the GPRAMA, which requires
overall organization management to improve agency performance and
achieve the mission and goals of the agency through the use of
strategic and performance planning, measurement, analysis, regular
assessment of progress, and use of performance information to improve
the results achieved. Specifically, this data collection will allow
SAMHSA to have the capacity to report on a consistent set of
performance measures across its various grant programs that conduct
each of these activities.
SAMHSA's legislative mandate is to increase access to high quality
substance abuse and mental health prevention and treatment services and
to improve outcomes. Its mission is to reduce the impact of substance
abuse and mental illness on America's communities. SAMHSA's vision is
to provide leadership and devote its resources--programs, policies,
information and data, contracts and grants--toward helping the Nation
act on the knowledge that:
Behavioral health is essential for health;
Prevention works;
Treatment is effective; and
People recover from mental and substance use disorders.
In order to improve the lives of people within communities, SAMHSA has
many roles:
Providing Leadership and Voice by developing policies;
convening stakeholders; collaborating with people in recovery and their
families, providers, localities, Tribes, Territories, and States;
collecting best practices and developing expertise around behavioral
health services; advocating for the needs of persons with mental and
substance use disorders; and emphasizing the importance of behavioral
health in partnership with other agencies, systems, and the public.
Promoting change through Funding and Service Capacity
Development. Supporting States, Territories, and Tribes to build and
improve basic and proven practices and system capacity; helping local
governments, providers, communities, coalitions, schools, universities,
and peer-run and other organizations to innovate and address emerging
issues; building capacity across grantees; and strengthening States',
Territories', Tribes', and communities' emergency response to
disasters.
Supporting the field with Information/Communications by
conducting and sharing information from national surveys and
surveillance (e.g., National Survey on Drug Use and Health [NSDUH],
Drug Abuse Warning Network [DAWN], Drug and Alcohol Service Information
System [DASIS]); vetting and sharing information about evidence-based
practices (e.g., National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and
Practices [NREPP]); using the Web, print, social media, public
appearances, and the press to reach the public, providers (e.g.,
primary, specialty, guilds, peers), and other stakeholders; and
listening to and reflecting the voices of people in recovery and their
families.
[[Page 40767]]
Protecting and promoting behavioral health through
Regulation and Standard Setting by preventing tobacco sales to minors
(Synar Program); administering Federal drug-free workplace and drug-
testing programs; overseeing opioid treatment programs and
accreditation bodies; informing physicians' office-based opioid
treatment prescribing practices; and partnering with other HHS agencies
in regulation development and review.
Improving Practice (i.e., community-based, primary care,
and specialty care) by holding State, Territorial, and Tribal policy
academies; providing technical assistance to States, Territories,
Tribes, communities, grantees, providers, practitioners, and
stakeholders; convening conferences to disseminate practice information
and facilitate communication; providing guidance to the field;
developing and disseminating evidence-based practices and successful
frameworks for service provision; supporting innovation in evaluation
and services research; moving innovations and evidence-based approaches
to scale; and cooperating with international partners to identify
promising approaches to supporting behavioral health.
Each of these roles complements SAMHSA's legislative mandate. All
of SAMHSA's programs and activities are geared toward the achievement
of its mission, and performance monitoring is a collaborative and
cooperative aspect of this process. SAMHSA will strive to coordinate
its efforts to further its mission with ongoing performance measurement
development activities.
Reports, to be made available on the SAMHSA Web site and by
request, will inform staff on the grantees' ability to serve their
target populations and meet their client and budget targets. SAMHSA CDP
data will also provide grantees with information that can guide
modifications to their service array. 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.
Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2015 notice of
funding announcements (NOFA), SAMHSA programs will use these measures
in fiscal years 2015 through 2017.
CSAP will use the CDP measures for the HIV Minority AIDS Initiative
(MAI), Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grants (SPF SIG),
and Partnerships for Success (PFS).

SAMHSA will also use the CDP to collect client-level and IPP
information from the HIV Continuum of Care program, which is funded by
CSAP, CMHS, and CSAT.
SAMHSA uses performance measures to report on the performance of
its discretionary services grant programs. The performance measures are
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, for grantee performance monitoring, for SAMHSA
reports and presentations, and for analyses comparing baseline with
discharge and follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's report for
each fiscal year include actual results of performance monitoring. The
information collected through the CDP will allow SAMHSA to report on
the results of these performance outcomes. Reporting will be consistent
with specific SAMHSA performance domains to assess the accountability
and performance of its discretionary grant programs.
