Disabilities (AIDD) within the 

Administration on Community Living. 

AIDD is the lead federal P&A agency. 

The PAIMI Program supports the same 

governor-designated P&A systems 

established under the DD Act by 

providing legal-based individual and 

systemic advocacy services to 

individuals with significant (severe) 

mental illness (adults) and significant 

(severe) emotional impairment 

(children/youth) who are at risk for 

abuse, neglect and other rights 

violations while residing in a care or 

treatment facility. 

In 2000, the PAIMI Act amendments 

created a 57th P&A system—the 

American Indian Consortium (the 

Navajo and Hopi Tribes in the Four 

Corners region of the Southwest). The 

Act, at 42 U.S.C. 10804(d), states that a 

P&A system may use its allotment to 

provide representation to individuals 

with mental illness, as defined by 

section 42 U.S.C. 10802(4)(B)(iii) 

residing in the community, including 

their own home, only, if the total 

allotment under this title for any fiscal 

year is $30 million or more, and in such 

cases an eligible P&A system must give 

priority to representing PAIMI-eligible 

individuals, as defined by 42 U.S.C. 

10802(4)(A) and (B)(i). 

The Children’s Health Act of 2000 

(CHA) also referenced the state P&A 

system authority to obtain information 

on incidents of seclusion, restraint and 

related deaths [see, CHA, Part H at 42 

U.S.C. 290ii–1]. PAIMI Program formula 

grants awarded by SAMHSA go directly 

to each of the 57 governor-designated 

P&A systems. These systems are located 

in each of the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, the American Indian 

Consortium, American Samoa, Guam, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, the Commonwealth of 

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

The PAIMI Act at 42 U.S.C. 10805(7) 

requires that each P&A system prepare 

and transmit to the Secretary HHS and 

to the head of its State mental health 

agency a report on January 1. This 

report describes the activities, 

accomplishments, and expenditures of 

the system during the most recently 

completed fiscal year, including a 

section prepared by the advisory 

council (the PAIMI Advisory Council or 

PAC) that describes the activities of the 

council and its independent assessment 

of the operations of the system. 

The Substance Abuse Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

proposes no revisions to its annual 

PAIMI Program Performance Report 

(PPR), including the advisory council 

section, at this time for the following 

reasons: (1) AIDD is currently piloting a 

PADD PPR. The results of the pilot will 

not be available until October 2014 (FY 

2015). (2) when the AIDD/ACL PPR is 

final, SAMHSA will revise its PPR, as 

appropriate, for consistency with the 

annual reporting requirements under 

the PAIMI Act and Rules [42 CFR part 

51]; (3) SAMHSA will develop a 

mechanism to facilitate electronic 

submission of the annual PAIMI PPR 

and ACR as recommended in the 

Evaluation of the Protection and 

Advocacy for Individuals with Mental 

Illness (PAIMI) Program, Phase III. 

Evaluation Report al Report (SAMHSA 

(2011). Evaluation of the Protection and 

Advocacy for Individuals With Mental 

Illness (PAIMI) Program, Phase III. Final 

Report. HHS Pub. No. PEP12– 

EVALPAIMI. Rockville, MD: CMHS, 

SAMHSA). (4) GPRA requirements for 

the PAIMI Program will be revised as 

appropriate to ensure that SAMHSA 

obtains information that closely 

measures actual outcomes of programs 

that it funds and (5) SAMHSA will 

reduce wherever feasible the current 

reporting burden by removing any 

information that does not facilitate 

evaluation of the programmatic and 

fiscal effectiveness of a state P&A 

system. The current report formats will 

be effective for the FY 2014 PPR reports 

due on January 1, 2015.The annual 

burden estimate is as follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

information collection under the 

Homeland Security Acquisition 

Regulation (HSAR) is necessary in order 

to implement applicable parts of the 

FAR (48 CFR). The four forms under 

this collection of information request 

are used by offerors, contractors, and the 

general public to comply with 

requirements in contracts awarded by 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS). The four forms are DHS Form 

0700–01, Cumulative Claim and 

Reconciliation Statement; DHS Form 

0700–02, Contractor’s Assignment of 

Refund, Rebates, Credits and Other 

Amounts; DHS Form 0700–03, 

Contractor’s Release; and DHS Form 

0700–04, Employee Claim for Wage 

Restitution. These four forms will be 

used by contractors and/or contract 

employees during contract 

administration. 

The information will be used by DHS 

contracting officers to ensure 

compliance with terms and conditions 

of DHS contracts and to complete 

reports required by other Federal 

agencies such as the General Services 

Administration and the Department of 

Labor. If this information is not 

collected, the DHS could inadvertently 

violate statutory or regulatory 

requirements and the DHS’s interest 

concerning inventions and contractor’s 

claims would not be protected. 

There has been an increase in the 

estimated annual burden hours 

previously reported for this collection. 

An adjustment in annual burden is 

necessary at this time in the amount of 

902 actions and hours. The initial 

annual burden was based on a lower 

number of contract actions which 

related to the fact that DHS was a new 

agency with consolidated acquisition 

procedures, processes, and policies. 

Although, there is an increase in the 

estimated burdened hours, there is no 

change in the information being 

collected. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

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 

agency’s 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 submissions 

of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR); 

48 CFR Chapter 1 provides general 

procedures on handling protests 

submitted by contractors to federal 

agencies. This regulation provides 

detailed guidance for contractors doing 

business with acquisition offices within 

the Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS) to implement the FAR. FAR Part 

33.103, Protests, Disputes, and Appeals 

prescribe policies and procedures for 

filing protests and for processing 

contract disputes and appeals. 

DHS will not be asking for anything 

outside of what is already required in 

the FAR. Should anything outside the 

FAR arise, DHS will submit a request for 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) approval. The prior information 

collect request for OMB No. 1600–004 

was approved through May 31, 2014 by 

OMB in a Notice of OMB Action. 

The information being collected will 

be obtained from contractors as part of 

their submissions whenever they file a 

bid protest with the Department’s 

Components. The information will be 

used by DHS officials in deciding how 

the protest should be resolved. Failure 

to collect this information would result 

in delayed resolution of agency protests. 

According to Federal Procurement 

Data System (FPDS), the number of 

protest has increased each year over the 

past two years in annual respondent and 

burden hours. This increase in current 

protest activity is not the result of a 

deliberate program change, but from a 

new estimate of actions that are not 

controllable by the Federal government. 

Although, the number of protest has 

increased, there has not been any 

change in the information being 

collected. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

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 

agency’s 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
