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) 276-1243.
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: Services Accountability Improvement System--(OMB No.
0930-0208)--Revision
The Services Accountability Improvement System (SAIS) 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 650 grantees. 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.
Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2015 notice of
funding announcements (NOFA), the CSAT programs that will use these
measures in fiscal years 2015 through 2017 include: Access to Recovery
3 (ATR3); Adult Treatment Court Collaboratives (ATCC); Enhancing Adult
Drug Court Services, Coordination and Treatment (EADCS); Offender
Reentry Program (ORP); Treatment Drug Court (TDC); Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention--Juvenile Drug Courts (OJJDP-JDC);
Teen Court Program (TCP); HIV/AIDS Outreach Program; Targeted Capacity
Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services
(TCE-HIV); Addictions Treatment for the Homeless (AT-HM); Cooperative
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI); Cooperative
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals--States (CABHI-States);
Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC); Targeted Capacity Expansion--
Peer to Peer (TCE-PTP); Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW); Screening,
Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT); Targeted Capacity
Expansion (TCE); Targeted Capacity Expansion--Health Information
Technology (TCE-HIT); Targeted Capacity Expansion Technology Assisted
Care (TCE-TAC); Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC);
International Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (I-ATTC); State
Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination (SAT-ED); Grants to
Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult Tribal Healing to
Wellness Courts and Juvenile Drug Courts; and Grants for the Benefit of
Homeless Individuals--Services in Supportive Housing (GBHI). Grantees
in the Adult Treatment Court Collaborative program (ATCC) will also
provide program-level data using the CSAT Aggregate Instrument.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting
required by GPRA and for National Outcome Measures (NOMs) comparing
baseline with discharge and follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's
report for each fiscal year include actual 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 from the previous
OMB submission.
