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
[[Page 73666]]
Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0166.
Proposed Project: Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Client/
Participant Outcomes Measure--(OMB No. 0930-0208)--Revision
SAMHSA is requesting approval for a revision of the CSAT Client-
level GPRA instrument to collect performance and program monitoring
data of its substance use services grant programs. Currently, the
information collected from this instrument is entered and stored in
SAMSHA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System, which is a
real-time, performance management system that captures information on
the substance abuse treatment and mental health services delivered in
the United States. Continued approval of this information collection
will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance and
Results Modernization Act of 2010 reporting requirements that quantify
the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs,
which are consistent with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA will use the data for annual reporting required by GPRA and
comparing baseline with follow-up and discharge data. 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 grant programs
including a focus on health equity.
Currently, there are 379,037 total burden hours in the OMB-approved
CSAT Client-level GPRA instrument. SAMHSA is now requesting an increase
to 631,682 burden hours. The increase of 252,645 burden hours is due to
the following:
<bullet> Additional time allocated for interviews, but also
improved estimates of the number of clients who would likely consent to
complete the interview; and
<bullet> Additional time allocated for administrative collection of
data by grantees, including the information that is collected for all
clients regardless of whether they completed the client-portion of the
interview or not.
The estimated time to complete the baseline, follow-up, and
discharge interviews is 45 (0.75) minutes each. This includes the
completion of the administrative sections of the tool for all clients
including those who decline an interview. The estimated time to
complete the SBIRT program-specific measures was increased from 12
(0.2) minutes to 15 minutes (0.25).
