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) 276-0361.
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: Rural Emergency Medical Services Training Monitoring
SAMHSA will monitor program performance of its Rural Emergency
Medical Services Training (EMS Training) grant program. The EMS
Training grantees will recruit and train EMS personnel in rural areas
with a particular focus on addressing mental and substance use
disorders. To accomplish this, the EMS Training grantees conduct
courses that qualify graduates to serve in an EMS agency, train EMS
personnel as appropriate to maintain licenses and certifications and
ensure EMS personnel are trained on mental and substance use disorders
and care for people with such disorders in emergency situations
relevant to serve in an EMS agency.
The EMS Training grantees hold a variety of trainings. A training
event is defined as a Rural EMS Training sponsored or co-sponsored
event that focuses on teaching of a skill, knowledge, or experience for
personal or professional development. Higher education classes must be
included in this definition. Each course is considered as one training
event. SAMHSA intends to use one (1) instrument for program monitoring
of REMS Training grantees activities as well as ongoing quality
improvement, which is described below.
1. Rural EMS Training Program Monitoring Report: This form collects
aggregated event information. This instrument asks eight (8) questions
of EMS Training grant staff relating to the number of participants they
recruited and trained. It allows the grantees and SAMHSA to track the
number of EMS personnel recruited, trained and number of certifications
accomplished (See Attachment 1).
SAMHSA recognizes the need for emergency services in rural areas
and the critical role EMS personnel serve across the country. The
information collected is crucial to support SAMHSA in complying with
Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Center reporting
requirements and will inform future development of knowledge
dissemination activities.
The chart below summarizes the annualized burden for this project.
