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) 276-0166.
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 continue the collection of performance and
program monitoring data of its substance use services grant programs.
Currently, the information collected from this instrument is entered
and stored in SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System
(SPARS). SPARS is a real-time, performance management system that
captures information on the substance use services and mental health
services delivered through SAMHSA's grant programs across 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 performance reporting required
by GPRA and comparing baseline with discharge and follow-up 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 performance of its discretionary and formula grant programs.
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
[[Page 90711]]
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).
