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: Harm Reduction Grant Program Target Setting and Quarterly
Aggregate Reporting Instrument--(OMB No. 0930-XXXX)
SAMHSA is requesting approval for its Harm Reduction Grant Program
Annual Target Setting and Aggregate Quarterly Reporting Instrument. In
developing the instrument, we sought to elicit programmatic information
that demonstrates impact at the program level aligned with the Notice
of Funding Opportunity. In this way, data from the Government
Performance and Results Act (GPRA) tool can be used to assess resource
allocation and to delineate who we serve, how we serve them, and
program impacts. The tool reflects SAMHSA's desire to elicit pertinent
program level data that can be used to not only guide future programs
and practice, but to also respond to stakeholder, congressional, and
agency enquiries.
The information collected from these forms is to be entered and
stored in SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System
(SPARS), which is a real-time, performance management system that
captures information on the substance misuse treatment and mental
health services delivered in the United States. Approval of this
information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet GPRA
reporting requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of
its discretionary grant programs, which are consistent with OMB
guidance.
SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting
required by the Government Performance and Results Act Modernization
Act of 2010 (GPRMA). GPRMA requires that SAMHSA's fiscal year report
include actual results of performance monitoring for the three
preceding fiscal years. The additional information collected through
this process will allow SAMHSA to (1) report results of these
performance outcomes; (2) maintain consistency with SAMHSA-specific
performance domains, and (3) assess the accountability and performance
of its discretionary and formula grant programs.
The instruments have been revised to reflect comments received
during the 60-Day Federal Register comment period. Changes include
replacing reporting individuals being served with service encounters
throughout the instruments. This will ease burden on respondents.
Additionally, adjustments have been made in the language related to
reporting age and race/ethnicity.
