    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 (301) 443-7978.
    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.

Regulations (42 CFR part 62a) and Forms--(Extension, no change; OMB No. 
0930-0074)--SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) awards

mental health and related disciplines. Graduate student recipients of 
these clinical traineeships must perform service, as determined by the 
Secretary to be appropriate in terms of the individual's training and 
experience, for a length of time equal to the period of support. The 
clinical trainees are required to submit SAMHSA Form SMA 111, a payback 
agreement, SAMHSA Form 111-1, which ensures agency receipt of a 
termination notice prior to the end of support, and the SAMHSA Form SMA
