Proposed Project: Protection and 

Advocacy for Individuals with Mental 

Illness (PAIMI) Annual Program 

Performance Report (OMB No. 0930– 

0169)—Revision 

The Protection and Advocacy for 

Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) 

Act, [42 U.S.C. 10801 et seq.] authorized 

funds to support protection and 

advocacy services on behalf of 

individuals with severe mental illness 

and severe emotional impairment who 

are at risk for abuse (including incidents 

of seclusion, restraint, and serious 

injuries or fatalities related to such 

incidents, neglect, residing in a public 

or private care or treatment facility. The 

PAIMI Program is managed by the 

Center for Mental Health Services 

(CMHS) within the Substance Abuse 

and Mental Health Services 

Administration (SAMHSA). 

Under the PAIMI Act, formula grant 

awards are made to governor-designated 

protection and advocacy (P&A) systems 

in each of the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia (Mayor), the American Indian 

Consortium [the Dine (Navajo) and Hopi 

Peoples in Northern Arizona and New 

Mexico), and five (5) territories—

American Samoa, Guam, the Northern 

Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of 

Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

The awards are used to provide legalbased advocacy services which ensure 

protection against violation of the 

constitutional and federal rights of 

individuals with significant (severe) 

mental illness (adults) and significant 

(severe) emotional impairment. 

In 2000, the PAIMI Act amendments, 

created a 57th P&A system—the 

American Indian Consortium and 

authorized P&A systems to serve PAIMIeligible individuals, as defined under 

the Act [42 U.S.C. at 10802 (4)], who 

reside in the community including their 

own homes. However, P&A services to 

PAIMI-eligible clients residing in the 

community is permissible only when 

the annual PAIMI appropriation met or 

exceeded $30 million, and that residents 

in public and private residential care or 

treatment facilities had service priority 

over community residents. The 

Children’s Health Act of 2000 (42 U.S.C. 

290aa et seq.), also referenced State P&A 

authority to obtain information on 

incidents of seclusion, restraint, and 

related deaths in certain facilities. 

The PAIMI Act requires each of the 57 

P & A systems to file an annual report, 

no later than January 1st, of its activities 

and accomplishments and to provide 

information on such topics as, the 

numbers of individuals served, types of 

complaints addressed, and the number 

of intervention strategies used to resolve 

the presenting issues. Under the Act, the 

PAIMI Advisory Council (PAC) of each 

P&A system is also required to submit 

its independent assessment of the 

effectiveness of the services provided to, 

and the activities conducted by, the 

P&A systems on behalf of PAIMI-eligible 

individuals and their family members, 

in a separate section of the PPR. 

The Developmental Disabilities 

Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 

1975, referred to as the DD Act [42 

U.S.C. 6042 et seq.], created the State 

P&A systems. The Administration on 

Developmental Disabilities, within the 

Administration for Children and 

Families, has administrative oversight of 

the Protection and Advocacy for 

Developmental Disabilities (PADD) 

Program. Since 1986, the Department 

has provided formula grant funds to the 

same governor-designated P&A systems 

to protect and advocate for individuals 

with significant mental illness. 

SAMHSA is currently waiting for the 

ADD to issue a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPR) for the DD Act of 

2000 amendments. These amendments 

will also govern activities fulfilled by 

the State P&A systems under the PAIMI 

Act. Therefore, to ensure to the greatest 

extent possible that all facets of the P&A 

system administered by the Department 

are subject to the same requirements, 

SAMHSA will wait until the DD Act 

NPR is published before revising the 

PAIMI Rules. [The Final PAIMI Rules 

were issued in 1997 and were extended 

in 2000 and 2004. An FRN was 

published May 2006 to extend the 

current PAIMI Rules, which will expire 

in 2007, until 2010]. 

The Substance Abuse Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) is 

revising the PAIMI Annual Program 

Performance Report for the following 

reasons: (1) To make it consistent with 

the requirements of the annual reporting 

requirements under the PAIMI Act and 

the PAIMI Rules (42 CFR Part 51), as 2), 

and the CHA of 2000 Parts H and I; (2) 

to conform with the Office of 

Management and Budget ’s (OMB)

findings and recommendations from the 

FY 2005 PART of the PAIMI Program; 

(3) to broaden the category of deaths 

investigated by the State P&A systems; 

(4) to reduce the reporting burdens for 

the State P&A systems and the PAIMI 

Advisory Council (PAC) in certain areas; 

and, (5) to enhance the PAC section by 

providing better information on its role, 

responsibility, and authority on P&A 

system PAIMI activities and services. 

Planned revisions to the PAIMI 

Annual Program Performance Report 

(PPR) and the PAC include the 

following items: 

(1) Changing the fonts to improve 

readability; 

(2) Adding Tables of Contents and 

Glossaries to the PPR and ACR sections; 

(3) Reducing the reporting burden in 

Section 2. PAIMI Program Priorities and 

Objectives by requesting only one case 

example per priority (goal) rather than 

per objective; 

(4) Revising Sections: 2. PAIMI 

Program Priorities (Goals) and 

Objectives: 4. Case Complaints/ 

Problems of Individuals; and, 5. 

Intervention Strategies on Behalf of 

Groups of PAIMI-eligible Individuals, 

for consistency with the findings and 

recommendations from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB), 2005 

PART evaluation/assessment of the 

PAIMI Program and to clarify and/or 

enhance the instructional guidance for 

determining activity/intervention 

outcomes and estimating the number of 

individuals or groups impacted by P&A 

system activities/interventions in 

sections 4 and 5; 

(5) Expanding Section 4. E. 2. by 

adding an item c. for the number of 

death investigation activities not related 

in incidents of seclusion and restraint; 

(6) Providing the applicable PAIMI 

citations to the guidance in Section 8. 

Other Services & Activities. 

(7) Modifying the Advisory Council 

Report (ACR), Sections B. PAIMI 

Advisory Council (PAC) Membership 

and C. PAC Ethnicity/Racial Diversity 

for consistency with the format used in 

the PAIMI Application for FY 2007–

2009; 

(8) Enhancing Section F. PAC 

Activities to include the applicable 

citations that will provide each PAC 

with better information on its authority, 

role, and responsibilities as the P&A 

governing authority. 

(9) Revising Section G. PAIMI 

Assessment of PAIMI Program 

Operations, by eliminating the previous 

requirement that the PAC comment on 

each P&A system annual and objective. 

The PAC will only submit a summary of 

its assessment of the P&A system’s 

annual PAIMI Program priorities, 

objectives, activities and program 

operations; 

(10) Adding an additional item to 

Section G. to identify the training and 

technical assistance needs of each PAC; 

and, 

(11) Adding the applicable citations to 

Section H. Grievance Procedures to 

include the applicable citations that will 

provide the PAC with better information 

on its authority, role, and 

responsibilities. 

The revised report formats will be 

effective for the report due on January 

1, 2008.
