Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request 

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 (SAMHSA) 

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 (240) 276–

1243. 

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. 

Project: Measures of Co-Occurring 

Infrastructure (OMB No. 0930–0284)—

Extension 

This notice is a request to extend data 

collection for SAMHSA’s Center for 

Mental Health Services and Center for 

Substance Abuse Treatment providerlevel performance measures about the 

screening, assessment, and treatment of 

co-occurring disorders. The measures 

were developed with active input from 

COSIG grantees. Their input was also 

sought regarding suggestions for making 

the implementation and reporting 

processes as smooth as possible. Based 

on suggestions from COSIG grantees, 

CSAT has taken the following actions to 

improve data quality: clarified 

instructions, simplified minimum 

required reporting, developed optional 

reporting methods, allowed grantees 

time to work out internal processes, and 

held monthly conference calls to answer 

grantee questions and to allow grantees 

to share experiences with 

implementation. These steps allow 

CSAT to enhance working relationships 

with the grantees and improve the 

overall quality of the data collection 

process. 

Implementation will be limited to 15 

current States with Co-occurring State 

Incentive Grants (COSIG) and States 

receiving COSIG grants in future years. 

COSIG grants enable States to develop 

or enhance their infrastructure and 

capacity to provide accessible, effective, 

comprehensive, coordinated/integrated, 

and evidence-based treatment services 

to persons with co-occurring substance 

abuse and mental disorders. Only the 

immediate Office of the Governor of 

States may receive COSIG grants, 

because SAMHSA considers the Office 

of the Governor to have the greatest 

potential to provide the multi-agency 

leadership needed to accomplish COSIG 

goals. The COSIG program is part of 

SAMHSA’s plan to achieve certain goals 

regarding services for persons with cooccurring substance use and mental 

disorders: 

• Increase percentage of treatment 

programs that screen for co-occurring 

disorders; 

• Increase percentage of treatment 

programs that assess for co-occurring 

disorders; 

• Increase percentage of treatment 

programs that treat co-occurring 

disorders through collaborative,
