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 the Office of Management and Budget (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) 276-0661.

Project: Extension to SAMHSA's 0930-0393 Fast Track Generic Clearance 
for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on the Substance Abuse and 
Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Service Delivery

    Executive Order 12862 directs Federal agencies to provide service 
to the public that matches or exceeds the best service available in the 
private sector. In order to work continuously to ensure that our 
programs are effective and meet our customers' needs, SAMHSA seeks to 
obtain the OMB approval of a generic clearance to collect qualitative 
feedback on our service delivery. By qualitative feedback we mean 
information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions 
but are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results that 
can be generalized to the population of study.
    This collection of information is necessary to enable SAMHSA to 
garner customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely 
manner, in accordance with our commitment to improving service 
delivery. The information collected from our customers and stakeholders 
will help ensure that users have an effective, efficient, and 
satisfying experience with SAMHSA's programs. This feedback will 
provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences 
and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or 
focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in 
operations might improve delivery of products or services. These 
collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable 
communications between SAMHSA and its customers and stakeholders. It 
will also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of 
program management.
    This is an extension to the currently approved 0930-0393 Fast Track 
Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on SAMHSA 
Service Delivery which replaced multiple previously approved SAMHSA 
information collections including 0930-0197 Voluntary Customer 
Satisfaction Surveys to Implement Executive Order 12862 in SAMHSA, 
0930-0196 Pretesting of Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment and 
Mental Health Services Communications Messages, and 0930-0313 SAMHSA's 
Publications and Digital Products website Registration Survey. Changes 
were not made to this Information Collection Request from the previous 
approval. The information collections (ICs) under Generic collections 
0930-0196 and 0930-0197 were transferred to the Fast Track Generic. 
After the IC transferred, the 0196 and 0197 Generic collections were 
discontinued. The 0930-0313 SAMHSA's Publications and Digital Products 
website Registration Survey consisted of customer satisfaction/feedback 
questions along with a SAMHSA website survey and a SAMHSA store survey 
developed utilizing the main pool of questions. The 0930-0313 
information collection became an IC under the new Fast Track once it 
was approved and the 0313-information collection request (ICR) was 
discontinued. SAMHSA will continue due diligence to improve efficiency 
and lower burden by determining if other information collections are 
better served by becoming part of the Fast Track Generic.
    A variety of instruments and platforms will be used to collect 
information from respondents. The annual burden hours requested 
(60,250) are based on the number of collections we expect to conduct 
over the requested period for this clearance. The burden estimates were 
calculated based on replacing previously approved burden hours for ICRs 
0930-0197, 0930-0196 and 0930-0313 and internal assessments of 
projected IC submission over the next three years.
