Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration

Proposed Data Collection Available for

Public Comment

In compliance with Section

3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 for opportunity

for public comment on proposed data

collection projects, 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 data collection plans and

instruments, call the SAMHSA Reports

Clearance Officer on (301) 443–0525.

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether

the proposed collection of information

is 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.

Proposed Project: Alcohol and Drug

Services Survey (ADSS) Phases II and

III—New—ADSS Phase II will gather

information from a sample of 180

treatment facilities nationwide,

including facility-level information on

substance abuse treatment services and

client record abstracts on a sample of

4,050 treatment clients. Phase III will

collect follow up data from the Phase II

client sample, including post-treatment

data on drug and alcohol use, criminal

behavior, employment status, and

subsequent treatment services. This

ADSS client sample, along with the

1990 DSRS/SROS study cohort of

approximately 3,000 clients and an outof-treatment comparison group of 600

drug users, will be followed over about

three years. Automated collection

techniques are not cost-effective for this

study. ADSS is a three-phase study that

will be conducted twice. The total

annual burden estimate for Phases II

and III of the first cycle of ADSS is

11,703 hours, as shown below:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Talapoosa

Mining Inc. has submitted a Plan of

Operations for the construction,

operation, and reclamation of a gold/

silver heap leach mining operation at

the historic Talapoosa mine site, north

of Silver Springs, Nevada. The operation

would include a new open pit mine,

leaching facilities, haul and access

roads, and utility corridors. Operations

are expected to last from seven to ten

years. The operations would be

primarily on public lands administered

by the Bureau of Land Management,

Carson City District Office, Lahontan

Resource Area, with a portion on private

lands controlled by Talapoosa Mining

Inc. The project area would encompass

2,673 acres, with 2,340 acres of public

land administered by the BLM, and 333

acres of private land. Approximately

596 acres of surface disturbance would

result from the construction and

operation of the proposed mine.

This Draft EIS analyzes the

environmental impacts associated with

the proposed mine and ancillary

facilities, and the no action alternative.

In addition, the Draft EIS focuses on the

issues of water quality and quantity,

social and economic values, noise and

visual quality that were identified

through public scoping.

A copy of the Draft EIS has been sent

to all individuals, agencies, and groups

who have expressed interest in the

project or as mandated by regulation or

policy. A limited number of copies are

available upon request from the BLM at

the address listed above.

Public participation has occurred

during the EIS process. A Notice of

Intent was filed in the Federal Register

in March 1995, and an open scoping

period was held for 30 days. Two public

scoping meetings to solicit comments

and ideas were held in April 1995. All

comments presented to the BLM

throughout the EIS process have been

considered.

To assist the BLM in identifying and

considering issues and concerns on the

proposed action and alternatives,

comments on the Draft EIS should be as

specific as possible. It is also helpful if

comments refer to specific pages or

chapters in the document. Comments

may address the adequacy of the Draft

EIS and/or the merits of the alternatives

formulated and discussed in the

document. Reviewers may wish to refer

to the Council on Environmental

Quality Regulations for Implementing

the Procedural Provisions of the

National Environmental Policy Act at 40

CFR 1503.3 in addressing these points.

After the comment period ends on the

Draft EIS, comments will be analyzed

and considered by the BLM in preparing

the Final EIS.

Dated: January 23, 1996.
