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

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a list 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 (301) 443-7978.

State Prevention Needs Assessments: Alcohol and Other Drugs, Cohort 
V

    (New)--SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) has 
awarded contracts to three States (Cohort V) to collect data to assess 
the nature and extent of substance abuse prevention services needs. The 
data collection by these States will bring to 30 (Cohorts I-V) the 
number of States that have implemented a family of prevention needs 
assessment studies, and will constitute the third cohort to apply the 
core set of measures, instruments, and methodologies developed and 
standardized under prior State needs assessment State contracts.
    Data will be collected in school surveys and community resource 
assessments (CRA). The information collected in this project will be 
combined with existing information from other sources; States may use 
multiple approaches to assess statewide and substate distributions of 
risk and protective factors for substance use, of prevention resources, 
and of prevention services needs. These needs assessment studies will 
permit cross-State comparison of risk and protection variables to 
assist State services planning and allocation of State Block Grant 
funds, and to assist Federal response to the Government Performance and 
Results Act (GPRA). The estimated annualized burden for the three-year 
project is shown below.
