Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

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 

Reports Clearance Officer at 240–276– 

1243. 

Comments are invited on (a) whether 

the proposed collections of information 

are necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Proposed Project: Disaster Technical 

Assistance Center Disaster Mental 

Health Needs Assessment and Customer 

Satisfaction Survey Supporting 

Statement—NEW 

SAMHSA created the SAMHSA 

Disaster Technical Assistance Center 

(SAMHSA DTAC) in 2002. SAMHSA 

DTAC provides technical assistance 

(TA) to States, Territories, and Federally 

recognized tribes (hereafter referred to 

as ‘States’), as well as any behavioral 

health worker, in response to, and in 

preparation for, behavioral health 

(mental health and substance abuse) 

needs associated with catastrophic 

events and emergencies, such as natural 

disasters, bioterrorism, mass criminal 

victimization, and environmental 

disasters. In the aftermath of a disaster 

or other traumatic event, State and local 

behavioral health agencies can contact 

SAMHSA DTAC for assistance with the 

resulting mental health and substance 

abuse needs. SAMHSA DTAC TA 

specialists respond by identifying 

suitable publications and other 

materials, arranging for the deployment 

of expert consultants, or coordinating 

other support services. For 

Presidentially declared disasters, 

SAMHSA DTAC assists States that are 

eligible for a Crisis Counseling 

Assistance and Training Program (CCP) 

grant by providing TA related to 

completing applications, developing a 

plan of services, and identifying staff 

needs for the CCP. 

SAMHSA is proposing two new data 

collection efforts: The Disaster 

Behavioral Health Needs Assessment 

(DBHNA) and the Customer Satisfaction 

Survey. The DBHNA will assess the 

current gaps and needs at the State and 

local provider levels in disaster 

behavioral health (DBH) planning and 

response efforts. The Customer 

Satisfaction Survey is being conducted 

to ensure that the TA SAMHSA DTAC 

provides is on track, applicable, useful, 

and well received. Both of these 

proposed data collection efforts will 

provide feedback on the ongoing needs 

at the national, State, and local levels 

and identify areas in which State and 

local providers require enhanced TA 

services. 

SAMHSA DTAC will be responsible 

for administering the two data 

collection instruments and analyzing 

the data. SAMHSA DTAC will use data 

from both instruments to inform current 

and future TA activities and to ensure 

these activities continue to align with 

State and local needs. 

The components of the data collection 

are listed and described below, and a 

summary table of the number of 

respondents and respondent burden has 

also been included. 

Disaster Behavior Health Needs 

Assessment. The DBHNA will assist 

SAMHSA DTAC in identifying 

jurisdictions that need assistance with 

integrating behavioral health (which 

includes both mental health and 

substance abuse services) into their 

preparedness plans. SAMHSA DTAC 

will use the DBHNA to identify gaps 

and trends in crisis counseling planning 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 10 / Friday, January 14, 2011 / Notices 2699 

across the country and to inform future 

TA and training for State and local 

behavioral health authorities so that 

these gaps can be addressed at the State 

and local levels. The DBHNA will be 

administered annually. The information 

collected will inform the DBH training 

and TA that SAMHSA DTAC provides. 

With improved training and TA, 

SAMHSA DTAC will be better 

positioned to support States, local 

providers, and other organizations in 

their efforts to integrate DBH into ‘‘allhazards’’ disaster preparedness and 

response. 

There are two versions of the DBHNA: 

The State/Territory Coordinator Disaster 

Behavioral Health Needs Assessment 

and the Local Provider Disaster 

Behavioral Health Needs Assessment. 

These DBHNAs will collect information 

on the current needs and challenges that 

State coordinators and local providers 

face when integrating DBH 

preparedness and response into allhazards plans. Both versions of the 

survey will be administered online and 

will be programmed to include 

simplified screens and intuitive 

navigational controls, and both will use 

branching so that each respondent will 

be presented with only those questions 

relevant to his or her State or program. 

The State/Territory Coordinator 

version will be administered to all 

disaster mental health coordinators, 

disaster substance abuse coordinators, 

and DBH coordinators (coordinators 

responsible for both mental health and 

substance abuse disaster services) in the 

50 States, the U.S. Territories, and the 

District of Columbia, for a total of 77 

participants. Coordinators from the 10 

States that have experienced the most 

federally declared disasters and those 

from the 10 States that have experienced 

the fewest federally declared disasters 

will be asked to provide contact 

information for up to five local DBH 

service providers. The local providers 

from these 20 States will be invited to 

participate in the Local Provider version 

(up to a total of 100 local provider 

participants). 

Customer Satisfaction Survey. The 

Customer Satisfaction Survey will 

collect data from SAMHSA DTAC 

customers to ensure that the assistance 

SAMHSA DTAC provides is effective. 

Specifically, the Customer Satisfaction 

Survey will collect the experiences and 

perspectives of (1) those who have 

requested TA (e.g., behavioral health 

coordinators, project coordinators, local 

providers) and (2) those who subscribe 

to SAMHSA DTAC e-communications. 

The Customer Satisfaction Survey will 

assess the following: (1) General 

familiarity with SAMHSA DTAC 

services and resources; (2) usage of 

SAMHSA DTAC services and resources; 

(3) customer satisfaction with SAMHSA 

DTAC TA, the SAMHSA DTAC Web 

site, SAMHSA DBHIS resources, and 

SAMHSA DTAC e-communication 

resources; and (4) areas for 

improvement and enhancement of 

SAMHSA DTAC services and resources. 

Participation in the Customer 

Satisfaction Survey will be solicited 

from all 50 States, the U.S. Territories, 

and the District of Columbia. The initial 

survey administration will include 

individuals who have contacted 

SAMHSA DTAC for TA from March 

2006 through the month prior to the 

initial data collection initiation. In 

addition to identifying SAMHSA DTAC 

TA requestors from March 2006 to the 

present, SAMHSA DTAC will identify 

potential participants from the 

subscription lists for the ecommunications DTAC Bulletin and 

The Dialogue. Respondents for 

subsequent administrations of the 

SAMHSA DTAC Customer Satisfaction 

Survey will include those who have 

requested TA in the 3 months prior to 

administration and those who are 

subscribed to the DTAC Bulletin or The 

Dialogue at the time of administration. 

Internet-based technology will be 

used to collect data via Web-based 

surveys and for data entry and 

management. The average annual 

respondent burden is estimated below. 

The DBHNA is an annual data 

collection. The Customer Satisfaction 

Survey will be administered once 

initially, with subsequent quarterly 

administrations. Table 1 represents the 

initial data collection and the burden in 

the following years. These estimates 

reflect the average annual number of 

respondents, the average annual number 

of responses, the time required for each 

response, and the average annual 

burden in hours.
