Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    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: Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Client/
Participant Outcomes Measure--(OMB No. 0930-0208)--Revision

    SAMHSA is requesting approval to add 13 new questions to its 
existing CSAT Client-level GPRA instrument. Grantees will only be 
required to answer no more than four additional questions, per CSAT 
grant awarded, in addition to the other questions on the instrument. 
Currently, the information collected from this instrument is entered 
and stored in SAMHSA's Performance

[[Page 42310]]

Accountability and Reporting System, which is a real-time, performance 
management system that captures information on the substance abuse 
treatment and mental health services delivered in the United States. 
Continued approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to 
continue to meet Government Performance and Results Modernization Act 
of 2010 reporting requirements that quantify the effects and 
accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs, which are 
consistent with OMB guidance.
    SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting 
required by GPRA and comparing baseline with discharge and follow-up 
data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's fiscal year report include actual 
results of performance monitoring for the three preceding fiscal years. 
The additional information collected through this process will allow 
SAMHSA to: (1) Report results of these performance outcomes; (2) 
maintain consistency with SAMHSA-specific performance domains, and (3) 
assess the accountability and performance of its discretionary and 
formula grant programs.
