Review; Comment Request

Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list of information collection

Proposed Project

    Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness (PAIMI) 
Final Rule--Information collection requirements in the Final Rule for 
the protection and advocacy programs serving individuals with mental 
illness. The development of regulations and issuance of the Final Rule 
meets the directive under Pub. L. 102-173, ``Protection and Advocacy 
for Mentally Ill Individuals Amendments Act of 1991'' (PAIMI Act), 42 
U.S.C. 10826(b), requiring the Secretary to promulgate final 
regulations to carry out the Act. 45 CFR Subchapter 51 of the Final 
Rule contains information collection requirements.
    The PAIMI Act (Pub. L. 99-319) authorized funds to support 
activities on behalf of individuals with mental illness. Recipients of 
this formula grant program are required by law to annually report their 
activities and accomplishments to include the number of individuals 
served, types of facilities involved, types of activities undertaken 
and accomplishments resulting from such activities. This summary must 
also include a separate report prepared by the PAIMI Advisory Council 
descriptive of its activities and assessment of the operations of the 
protection and advocacy system. The annual burden estimate is as 
follows:
