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

Project: SAMHSA Certified Community 

Behavioral Health Clinic—Expansion 

(CCBHC–E) Grant Program Evaluation 

(OMB No. 0930–XXXX)—NEW 

COLLECTION 

In FY 2022, SAMHSA awarded two 

new cohorts of its CCBHC-Expansion 

program, one for clinics interested in 

becoming CCBHCs that need planning 

and support to come into compliance 

with CCBHC Certification Criteria, and 

another for established CCBHCs seeking 

to expand, improve, and advance their 

services. The purpose of the CCBHC–E 

grants is to address problems of access, 

coordination, and quality of behavioral 

health care by establishing a standard 

definition and criteria for organizations 

certified as CCBHCs to ensure that all 

service recipients have access to a 

common set of comprehensive, 

coordinated services, with the ultimate 

goal of decreasing disparities in care 

and outcomes across communities. 

SAMHSA is requesting clearance for 

eleven data collection instruments and 

forms related to the implementation and 

impact studies to be conducted as part 

of an evaluation of these cohorts. Data 

collected in this evaluation will help 

SAMHSA assess the degree to which 

activities at the clinic level and systems 

level affect the development, 

implementation, and sustainment of 

CCBHCs consistent with the 

certification criteria and the impacts of 

model adoption on client outcomes. 

1. SAMHSA has developed a grantee 

web survey that will be administered 

twice to all 298 grant project directors, 

once during a first option year and again 

during a third option year. The survey 

consists of 76 questions the first time it 

is administered and 68 questions the 

second time it is administered. The 

survey includes mostly binary or 

multiple-choice response options and a 

limited number of open-ended 

questions. The survey will enable 

respondents to complete the data 

collection instrument at a location and 

time of their choice, and its built-in 

editing checks and programmed skips 

will reduce response errors. SAMHSA 

estimates the web survey will take no 

more than 45 minutes to complete and 

expects a 100 percent response rate, for 

a total of 298 completed grantee 

surveys. Grantees will provide valuable 

insights into their experience with the 

CCBHC model; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not have 

adequate information to evaluate the 

extent to which Planning, Development, 

and Implementation (PDI) grantees 

come into full compliance with the 

certification criteria and Improvement 

and Advancement (IA) grantees sustain 

the model in a manner that is consistent 

with the CCBHC certification criteria. 

2. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for annual interviews with all 26 grantee 

Government Project Officers (GPO)s 

during three option years. Interviews 

will last approximately one hour and 

focus on the types of support grantees 

need to successfully implement the 

model in the future and identify specific 

components of the certification criteria 

that were challenging for grantees to 

implement. SAMHSA will offer to 

conduct individual interviews or meet 

with groups of GPOs during regularly 

scheduled meetings. GPOs will provide 

valuable insights into CCBHC model 

implementation and factors that 

facilitate or impede implementation; if 

they are not conducted, SAMHSA will 

not glean essential insights into 

contextual factors that affect 

implementation of the CCBHC model, 

including adaptations grantees make to 

the model to align with their local 

service delivery system, grantee 

characteristics that might contribute to 

successful implementation, and the 

types of support grantees need to 

successfully implement the model in 

the future and the specific components 

of the certification criteria that were 

challenging for grantees to implement. 

3. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for interviews with representatives from 

50 organizations that support adults, 

youth, and family members with lived 

experience over the course of the first 

three option years. Interviews will last 

approximately one hour. State 

consumer, youth, and family member 

organizations will provide valuable 

insights into their own involvement in 

the planning and development of the 

model in respective states, and the 

perspectives of adults and youth who 

received CCBHC services and their 

families on various aspects of the 

CCBHC model; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not 


khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
101022 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 240 / Friday, December 13, 2024 / Notices 

adequately understand how these 

organizations contributed to the 

planning and development of the 

model, how CCBHCs tailored services to 

the diverse needs of communities, and 

how people with lived experience might 

refine the model to fill gaps in care. 

4. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for interviews with a sample of 120 

grantee project directors during option 

years 1 and 3 (i.e., approximately 60 

interviews in both years). Interviews 

will last approximately one hour. 

Grantees will provide valuable insights 

into CCBHC model implementation 

nuances that cannot be captured via the 

grantee survey alone; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not 

adequately understand how grantees 

initially plan to use funding to develop 

or improve CCBHC program-specific 

activities in response to the community 

needs assessment, and successes and 

challenges expanding services and 

increasing access to care, and how they 

eventually progress toward meeting the 

goals of Continuous Quality 

Improvement (CQI) efforts and plans for 

sustainability. 

5. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for interviews with clinic leadership 

from a sample of 50 strategically 

selected grantees for site visits during 

the first three option years. Positions of 

leadership include project directors, 

medical directors, and/or quality 

improvement directors. Interviews will 

last approximately one hour. Clinic 

leaders will provide valuable insights 

into understanding their experiences 

and perspectives as they implement the 

CCBHC model; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not 

adequately understand the more 

granular, on-the-ground impacts of 

model implementation. 

6. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for interviews with frontline clinic staff 

from a sample of 50 strategically 

selected grantees for site visits. Clinic 

staff positions include mental health 

and substance use providers, case 

managers, and peer mentors/support 

personnel. Interviews will last 

approximately one hour. Clinic staff 

will provide valuable insights into 

understanding their experiences and 

perspectives as the site implements the 

CCBHC model; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not 

adequately understand the impacts of 

model implementation from the 

perspective of the clinic staff. 

7. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for interviews with representatives of 

CCBHC partners from a sample of 50 

strategically selected grantees for site 

visits, including designated 

collaborating organizations (DCOs) and 

Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs). 

Interviews will last approximately one 

hour. Clinic partner organizations will 

provide valuable insights into 

understanding their experiences and 

perspectives; if they are not conducted, 

SAMHSA will not adequately 

understand how partnerships with 

DCOs and OTPs function, how care is 

coordinated between entities, and how 

CCBHCs maintain clinical responsibility 

for DCO services. 

8. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for focus groups with people 18 and 

older who receive CCBHC services from 

a sample of 50 strategically selected 

grantees for site visits. Focus groups 

will last approximately one hour and 

consist of 8–10 adult clients, who will 

provide valuable insights into 

understanding their experience of 

CCBHC services; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not be able to 

adequately synthesize and present 

similar or different perspectives among 

diverse stakeholders from a common 

clinic. 

9. SAMHSA has developed a protocol 

for focus groups with people under 18 

who receive CCBHC services. Focus 

groups will last approximately one hour 

and consist of 8–10 youth clients, who 

will provide valuable insights into 

understanding their experience of 

CCBHC services; if they are not 

conducted, SAMHSA will not be able to 

adequately synthesize and present 

similar or different perspectives among 

diverse stakeholders from a common 

clinic. 

10. SAMHSA has developed a 

protocol for focus groups with parents 

and caregivers of youth who receive 

CCBHC services. Focus groups will last 

approximately one hour and consist of 

8–10 parents and caregivers of youth 

clients, who will provide valuable 

insights into understanding their 

experience of CCBHC services; if they 

are not conducted, SAMHSA will not be 

able to adequately synthesize and 

present similar or different perspectives 

among diverse stakeholders from a 

common clinic. 

11. SAMHSA has developed a 

protocol for in-person interviews with a 

sample of clients who receive CCBHC 

services. The interview consists of 33 

questions and will take place on no 

more than three occasions at the same 

time as National Outcomes Measures 

(NOMs) data collection. Interviews will 

last approximately 15 minutes. If they 

are not conducted, the evaluation team 

will not have adequate information to 

evaluate longitudinal changes in clientlevel outcomes pertaining to substance 

use, mental health symptomology and 

functioning, and recovery, as these 

dimensions are not captured in the 

NOMs data with sufficient sensitivity to 

detect change over time. It is essential 

to obtain information directly from the 

clients of CCBHC services to understand 

how implementation of the model 

affects their access to care and 

experiences with care.
