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) 276-0361.
Project: Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness
(PAIMI) Final Rule, 42 CFR Part 51 (OMB No. 0930-0172)--Extension
These regulations meet the directive under 42 U.S.C. 10826 (b)
requiring the Secretary to promulgate final regulations to carry out
the PAIMI Act (42 U.S.C. 10801 et seq.). The regulations contain
information collection requirements. The Act authorizes funds to
support activities on behalf of individuals with significant (severe)
mental illness (adults) or significant (severe) emotional impairment
(children/youth) as defined by the Act at 42 U.S.C. 10802 (4) and 10804
(d). Only entities designated by the governor of each state, including
the American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, District of Columbia
(Mayor), and the tribal councils of the American Indian Consortium (the
Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation located in the Four Corners region of
the Southwest), to protect and advocate the rights of persons with
developmental disabilities are eligible to receive PAIMI Program grants
[ibid at 42 U.S.C. at 10802 (2)]. These grants are based on a formula
prescribed by the Secretary [ibid at 42 U.S.C. at 10822 (a) (1) (A)].
On January 1, each eligible state protection and advocacy (P&A)
system is required to prepare an annual PAIMI Program Performance
Report (PPR). Each annual PPR describes a P&A system's activities,
accomplishments and expenditures to protect the rights of individuals
with mental illness supported with payments from PAIMI program
allotments during the most recently completed fiscal year. Each P&A
system transmit a copy of its annual report to the Secretary (via
SAMHSA) and to the State Mental Health Agency where the system is
located per the PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10824 (a). Each annual PPR must
provide the Secretary with the following information:
<bullet> The number of (PAIMI-eligible) individuals with mental
illness served;
<bullet> A description of the types of activities undertaken;
<bullet> A description of the types of facilities providing care or
treatment to which such activities are undertaken;
<bullet> A description of the manner in which the activities are
initiated;
<bullet> A description of the accomplishments resulting from such
activities;
<bullet> A description of systems to protect and advocate the
rights of individuals with mental illness supported with payments from
PAIMI Program allotments;
<bullet> A description of activities conducted by States to protect
and advocate such rights;
<bullet> A description of mechanisms established by residential
facilities for individuals with mental illness to protect such rights;
<bullet> A description of the coordination among such systems,
activities and mechanisms;
<bullet> Specification of the number of public and nonprofit P&A
systems established with PAIMI Program allotments; and
<bullet> Recommendations for activities and services to improve the
protection and advocacy of the rights of individuals with mental
illness and a description of the need for such activities and services
that were not met by the state P&A systems established under the PAIMI
Act due to resource or annual program priority limitations.
Each PAIMI grantee's annual PPR must include a separate section,
prepared by its PAIMI Advisory Council (PAC), that describes the
council's activities and its assessment of the state P&A system's
operations per the PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805 (7).
In 2017, SAMHSA included the annual PAIMI PPR in the Web-based
Block Grant Application System (WebBGAS). WebBGAS, SAMHSAs electronic
data system, is used to collect grantee information for the following
reasons:
(1) To meet the OMB requirements for data collection for mandatory
(formula) grant programs;
(2) To comply with the annual program reporting requirements of the
PAIMI Act 42 U.S.C. 10801 et seq. and the PAIMI Rules 42 CFR part 51;
(3) To simplify the submission of PAIMI program data by the state
P&A systems;
[[Page 38768]]
(4) To meet the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA)
requirements;
(5) To comply with the Government Accountability Office (GAO)
evaluation recommendations that SAMHSA obtain information that closely
measures the actual outcomes of the programs it funds;
(6) To reduce the grantee data collection burden by removing
information that did not facilitate evaluation of a PAIMI grantee's
programmatic and financial management systems;
(7) To provide immediate access to the PAIMI program data used to
prepare a section of the Secretary's biennial report to the President,
Congress, and National Council on Disability in accordance with the
Developmental Disabilities Assistance Act of 2000 at 42 U.S.C. 15005.
Reports of the Secretary;
(8) To improve SAMHSA's ability to create reports, analyze trends
and provide timely feedback to the P&A grantees when PPR revisions are
needed.
On June 12, 2020, OMB approved SAMHSA's PPR and Advisory Council
Report (Control No. 0930-0169, Expiration Date June 30, 2023). The
burden estimate for the annual State P&A system reporting requirements
