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 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: Data Collection Tool 

for the Decision Support Simulation 

Pilot Cost-Effective Study—NEW 

SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health 

Services will conduct a pilot study to 

examine ‘‘cost efficiencies’’ in the 

implementation of Evidence Based 

Practices (EBPs). This data collection on 

mental health and substance abuse 

service utilization and functional level 

data will be done through the utilization 

of a computer simulation model 

developed by Human Services Research 

Institute. 

The survey instrument will be used to 

collect information on services that 

should have been received by 

consumers and services that were 

actually received. Demographic data 

and functional level scores will also be 

collected. The data collection tool is a 

paper and pencil survey to be 

completed by case managers or other 

knowledgeable care givers on current 

mental health service users. 

This data collection tool is aimed at 

providing information on what 

combination of EBPs would be most 

cost effective in a system of care. The 

goal of this project is consistent with the 

direction described in The President’s 

New Freedom Commission Report on a 

wider adoption of EBPs.

The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (USCIS) has 

submitted an emergency information 

collection request (ICR) utilizing 

emergency review procedures, to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and clearance in 

accordance with section 

1320.13(a)(1)(ii) and (a)(2)(iii) of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

USCIS has determined that it cannot 

comply with the normal clearance 

procedures under this part because 

normal clearance procedures are likely 

to prevent or disrupt the collection of 

information. 

If granted, the emergency approval is 

only valid for 180 days. All comments 

and/or questions pertaining to this 

pending request for emergency approval 

must be directed to OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory affairs, 

Attention: Desk Officer, Department of 

Homeland Security, 725—17th Street, 

NW., Suite 10235, Washington, DC 

20503; 202–3950–5806. 

During the first 60 days of this period, 

a regular review of this information 

collection is also being undertaken. 

During the regular review period, the 

USCIS requests written comments and 

suggestions from the public and affected 

agencies concerning this information 

collection. Comments are encouraged 

and will be accepted until February 28, 

2005. During the 60-day regular review, 

all comments and suggestions, or 

questions regarding the information 

collection instrument should be 

directed to Mr. Richard A. Sloan,

Division, U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services, Department of

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20529; 

202–616–7600. Written comments and 

suggestions from the public and affected 

agencies concerning the proposed 

collection of information should address 

one or more of the following four points: 

(1) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Overview of this information 

collection: 

(1) Type of Information Collection:

Extension of a currently approved 

information collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection:

Petitioning Requirements for H–1C 

Nonimmigrant Classification. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the 

Department of Homeland Security 

sponsoring the collection: The agency 

form number is 1615–0065; the file 

number is OMB–26. U.S. Citizenship 

and Immigration Services (USCIS). 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

Households. Public Law 106–95, 

Section 101(a)(15)(H)(i)(c) of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act allows 

petitioning hospitals to import 

registered nurses to work at those 

hospitals as nonimmigrants. The 

information collection is necessary for 

the USCIS to determine that the 

eligibility requirements and conditions 

are met regarding the nurse/beneficiary. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 2,000 responses at 2 hours per 

response. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 4,000 annual burden hours
