SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Corporation is particularly interested in 

comments that:

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Corporation, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility;

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the

Background 

The Learn and Serve America 

Program supports efforts in schools, 

higher education institutions, and 

community-based organizations to 

involve young people in meaningful 

service to their communities while 

improving academic, civic, social, and 

career-related skills. The Learn and 

Serve program is administered by the 

Corporation for National and 

Community Service and is funded 

through grants to states, national 

organizations, and institutions of higher 

education, and through them to 

individual schools, local education 

agencies, community-based 

organizations, and colleges and 

universities. Approximately 1,800 

organizations receive Learn and Serve 

funding each year and report on their 

Learn and Serve-funded activities 

through the Learn and Serve America 

Programs and Performance Reporting 

System. All data is collected 

electronically and accessed via the Web 

site, http://www.lsareports.org. 

Current Action 

The Corporation seeks to renew the 

current information collection. The 

system collects annual data from those 

organizations that receive Learn and 

Serve America grants and subgrants. 

Data collected includes information on 

the scope and structure of servicelearning activities funded through the 

grants; participants and hours; 

community partnerships; and 

institutional policies and practices that 

support service-learning. Minor 

modifications and adjustments will be 

made for the renewal to accommodate 

changes resulting for the Edward M. 

Kennedy Serve America Act (2009) and 

to minimize burden, improve reliability, 

and streamline reporting. 

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the existing application. The 

Corporation also seeks to continue using

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On page 405 of House Report 2638, 

the Department of Defense 

Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 

2009 Joint Explanatory Statement, 

Congress stated: ‘‘The Department of 

Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal 

Year 2009 stated: ‘‘An area of particular 

interest is the provision of appropriate 

and accessible counseling to Service 

members and their families who live in 

locations that are not close to Military 

Treatment Facilities (MTFs), other MHS 

facilities, or TRICARE providers. Webbased delivery of counseling has 

significant potential to offer counseling 

to personnel who otherwise might not 

be able to access it. Therefore, the 

Department is directed to establish and 

use a Web-based Clinical Mental Health 

Services Program as a way to deliver 

critical clinical mental health services to 

Service members and families in rural 

areas.’’ 

The TRICARE Assistance Program 

(TRIAP) demonstration as outlined in 74 

FR 3667 of July 24, 2009, launched 

August 1, 2009, to provide the 

capability for short-term, problem 

solving counseling between eligible 

beneficiaries and licensed counselors 

utilizing video technology and software 

such as Skype or iChat. Regional 

contractors were tasked with 

formulating and initiating the programs. 

TRIAP services are available 24/7. 

Active Duty Service members, their 

spouses of any age, and other family 

members 18 years of age or older, who 

reside in the United States are eligible 

to participate. Enrollees in Reserve 

Select and TAMP also may use the 

program. TRIAP provides assistance to 

beneficiaries dealing with personal 

problems that might adversely impact 

their work performance, health, and 

well-being. It includes assessment, 

short-term counseling, and referrals to 

more comprehensive levels of care if 

needed. TRIAP is based on commercial 

employee assistance models and 

provides counseling in a virtual face-toface environment. There is no diagnosis 

made, are no limits to usage, and no 

notification about those seeking 

counseling will be made to their 

primary care managers or others, unless 

required by the counselor’s licensure 

(spouse abuse, etc.). Participant 

confidentiality is protected, as no 

medical record entry is made. 

There were initial challenges in 

making beneficiaries aware of the 

program when implemented in August 

2009. These challenges included: 

• Short turnaround with behavioral 

health (BH) programs launching on the 

same day, both using video, but with 

distinct differences—one a 

demonstration (TRIAP), the other a 

permanent benefit (Telemental Health). 

• Significant program changes days 

prior to launch: Age and confidentiality. 

• The regional contractors 

implemented the program in admirably 

short time, but have varying 

accessibility and visibility. 

• Primary means of communication 

with Prime beneficiaries (newsletter) 

has significant lead time (4 months). 

• Dozens of ‘‘competing’’ programs 

already geared to assisting Service 

members in a similar forum (employee 

assistance/counseling format) with BH 

issues, notably Defense Center of 

Excellence (Psychological Health) and 

Military OneSource. 

• Limited research on Service 

members’ willingness to use video as a 

means of counseling or their belief in 

confidentiality. 

Despite concerted media and outreach 

effort on the part of regional contractors 

and extensive media coverage, usage 

remains very low. In an effort to 

increase awareness and encourage 

beneficiary use of TRIAP and TeleBehavioral Health Care Services, 

TRICARE has launched aggressive 

external communications initiatives, to 

include but not limited to: 

• Article in Prime newsletter 

(December) delivered to beneficiaries 

via direct mail. Advance copy sent to 

30,000 subscribers. 

• In production: Leadership video 

broadening the message to motivate 

beneficiaries to get help. Includes 

messages by line spokespersons. Wide 

distribution to MTFs, installations, and 

service leadership. 

• Senior leader talking points.
