DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; 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 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 on (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: Access to Recovery 

(ATR) Program—New 

In preparation for implementing 

Performance Partnership Grants, 

SAMHSA has developed a set of 

performance outcome measures for 

substance abuse treatment that cover 

seven domains. The domains are: 

Abstinence from drug use and alcohol 

abuse, or decreased mental illness 

symptomatology; increased or retained 

employment and school enrollment; 

decreased involvement with the 

criminal justice system; increased 

stability in family and living conditions; 

increased access to services; increased 

retention in services for substance abuse 

treatment or decreased utilization of 

psychiatric inpatient beds for mental 

health treatment; and increased social 

connectedness to family, friends, coworkers and classmates. 

SAMHSA’s Center for Substance 

Abuse Treatment (CSAT), is responsible 

for implementing the new Access to 

Recovery (ATR) grant program. States 

funded in the ATR program will use 

these outcome measures to meet the 

reporting requirements of the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) by quantifying the effects 

and accomplishments of the funded 

programs. The ATR Program is part of 

a Presidential initiative to: (1) Provide 

client choice among substance abuse 

clinical treatment and recovery support 

service providers, (2) expand access to 

a comprehensive array of clinical 

treatment and recovery support options 

(including faith-based programmatic 

options), and (3) increase substance 

abuse treatment capacity. Monitoring 

outcomes, tracking costs, and 

preventing waste, fraud and abuse to 

ensure accountability and effectiveness 

in the use of Federal funds are also 

important elements of the ATR program. 

Grantees, as a contingency of their 

award, are responsible for collecting 

data from their clients at intake, 

discharge, at 30 days after intake, and 

every two months during an episode of 

care. An episode of care is defined as a 

client’s entry to and exit from the ATR. 

The following tables summarize the 

annual response burden for the ATR 

activities using the performance 

outcome measures.
