 Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
 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) 276-1243. Project: Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Annual Program Performance Report (OMB No. 0930-0169)—Reinstatement The Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) Act at 42 U.S.C. 10801 
                    *et seq.,*
                     authorized funds to the same protection and advocacy (P&A) systems created under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 1975, known as the DD Act (as amended in 2000, 42 U.S.C. 15041 
                    *et seq.*]. The DD Act supports the Protection and Advocacy for Developmental Disabilities (PADD) Program administered by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities (ADD) within the Administration on Children and Families. ADD is the lead Federal P&A agency. The PAIMI Program supports the same governor-designated P&A systems established under the DD Act by providing legal-based individual and systemic advocacy services to individuals with significant (severe) mental illness (adults) and significant (severe) emotional impairment (children/youth) who are at risk for abuse, neglect and other rights violations while residing in a care or treatment facility. In 2000, the PAIMI Act amendments created a 57th P&A system—the American Indian Consortium (the Navajo and Hopi Tribes in the Four Corners region of the Southwest). The Act, at 42 U.S.C. 10804(d) states that a P&A system may use its allotment to provide representation to individuals with mental illness, as defined by s42 U.S.C. 10802 (4)(B)(iii) residing in the community, including their own home, 
                    *only,*
                     if the total allotment under this title for any fiscal year is $30 million or more, and in such cases an eligible P&A system 
                    *must*
                     give priority to representing PAIMI-eligible individuals, as defined by 42 U.S.C. 10802(4)(A) and (B)(i). The Children's Health Act of 2000 (CHA) also referenced State P&A system authority to obtain information on incidents of seclusion, restraint and related deaths [see, CHA, Part H at 42 U.S.C. 290ii-1]. PAIMI Program formula grants awarded by SAMHSA go directly to each of the 57 governor-designated P&A systems. These systems are located in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the American Indian Consortium, and five (5) territories—American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805(7) requires that each P & A system prepare and transmit to the Secretary HHS and to the head of its State mental health agency a report on January 1. This report describes the activities, accomplishments, and expenditures of the system during the most recently completed fiscal year, including a section prepared by the advisory council (the PAIMI Advisory Council or PAC) that describes the activities of the council and its assessment of the operations of the system. The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) proposes to revise the annual PAIMI Program Performance Report (PPR), including the advisory council section of the report for the following reasons: (1) To make it consistent with the r annual reporting requirements under the Act and its Rules [42 CFR part 51], (2) to conform to the GPRA requirements that SAMHSA obtain information that closely measures actual outcomes of programs that are funded by the agency, and (3) to determine if the reporting burden can be reduced by removing any information that does not facilitate evaluation of the programmatic and fiscal effectiveness of a State P&A system. The SAMHSA revisions to the annual PPR and Advisory Council section reflect the statutory and regulatory requirements of the PAIMI Act. These revisions include, but may not be limited to the following items: (1) Clarifying the instructional guidance in the PPR, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     Section 3.-Living Arrangements; Section 4—Complaints/Problems of PAIMI-eligible Individuals, at 4. D.2.—Intervention Strategy Outcome Statement, by using a chart format to capture the most significant outcome achieved per strategy used; eliminating the need for attachments, 
                    *i.e.,*
                     in Section 7—Grievance Procedures, a copy of the policies/procedures, in Section 8—Other Services and Activities a copy of agency policies/procedures for obtaining comments from the public (8.A.3.), and a copy of the public comment opportunity notice (8.A.1.); (2) clarifying the Advisory Council section of the PPR, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     Section B. PAIMI Advisory Council Membership, secondary identification instructions; and, (3) eliminating the submission of supplemental documents, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     PAIMI bylaws, 
                    *etc.*
                     The revised report formats will be effective for the FY 2011 PPR reports due on January 1, 2012. The annual burden estimate is as follows:
