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. 

Proposed Project: 2009 Survey of 

Revenues and Expenditures (SRE)— 

NEW 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration’s 

(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health 

Services (CMHS) will conduct a 2009 

SRE. This national survey represents a 

survey of mental health and substance 

abuse treatment facilities. These 

separate service locations are called 

facilities, in contrast to mental health 

and substance abuse organizations, 

which may include multiple facilities 

(service locations). This survey will be 

a sample survey of all known mental 

health and substance abuse treatment 

facilities nationwide with a particular 

focus on revenues and expenditures. 

The survey will begin with a stratified 

random sample of 1,500 facilities drawn 

from other SAMHSA databases. In 

addition, a control subsample of 100 

facilities drawn from the original 1,500 

will be drawn and pursued beyond the 

planned three follow-up attempts with 

the entire sample. The control sample 

will provide estimates of non-response 

bias upon the results of the data 

analyses. 

The 2009 SRE will utilize one 

questionnaire for all mental health and 

substance abuse treatment facility types 

including hospitals, residential 

treatment centers and outpatient clinics. 

The information collected will include 

annual revenue and expenditures, 

staffing, and active caseload size. All 

treatment facilities will have the option 

of completing the survey instrument 

online via the Internet, by telephone 

with an interviewer, or using a paper 

version of the questionnaire. 

The resulting database will be used 

for national estimates of facility types, 

their revenues and expenditures, and 

their patient caseloads. These findings 

will be used to update SAMHSA’s 

national spending on mental health and 

substance abuse treatment estimates. 

The survey results will be published by 

CMHS in Data Highlights, in Mental 

Health, United States, and in 

professional journals such as Psychiatric 

Services and the American Journal of 

Psychiatry. The publication Mental 

Health, United States is used by the 

general public, State governments, the 

U.S. Congress, university researchers, 

and other health care professionals. The

estimated response burden for the 

survey.

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

Proposed Project: SAMHSA Fetal 

Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Center for 

Excellence Project CHOICES 

Evaluation—New 

Since 2001, SAMHSA’s Center for 

Substance Abuse Prevention has been 

operating the SAMHSA Fetal Alcohol 

Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Center for 

Excellence. The purpose of the FASD 

Center for Excellence is to prevent and 

improve the treatment of FASD. Some of 

the activities of the FASD Center 

include providing training, technical 

assistance, and subcontracts to increase 

the use of effective evidence-based 

interventions. 

The FASD Center will be integrating 

the Project CHOICES program through 

service delivery organizations and will 

be evaluating the results. Six sites will 

implement Project CHOICES with 

nonpregnant women 18–44 years who 

are sexually active and who are 

participating in alcohol treatment

(residential or outpatient) or in drug 

treatment (if the women also use 

alcohol). Women in substance abuse 

treatment will be screened and those 

women that meet the above description 

will be provided four Motivational 

Interviewing (MI) sessions (related to 

alcohol use), plus one contraceptive 

counseling session. The goal is to help 

these women prevent an alcoholexposed pregnancy by abstaining from 

alcohol and using contraceptive 

methods of their choice consistently and 

correctly. 

At baseline, an assessment tool will 

be administered by the counselor to 

assess drinking, sexual activity, 

contraceptive use, and demographic 

information. At the end of the program, 

women are assessed on their alcohol 

consumption and contraceptive use in 

the past 30 days. At 6 months and 12 

months after the end of the program, 

women are assessed on alcohol 

consumption and contraceptive use 

using the same core assessment tool 

used at baseline. All participating sites 

will maintain personal identification on 

their clients for service delivery 

purposes but no such information will 

be transmitted to SAMHSA. 

The data collection is designed to 

evaluate the implementation of Project 

CHOICES by measuring whether 

abstinence from alcohol is achieved and 

effective birth control practices are 

performed. Furthermore, the project will 

include process measures to assess 

whether and how the intervention was 

provided.

Proposed Information Collection 

Activity; Comment Request 

Proposed Projects: 

Title: Child Care and Development 

Fund Financial Report (ACF 696) for 

States and Territories. 

OMB No.: 0970–0163. 

Description: States and Territories use 

the Financial Report Form ACF–696 to 

report Child Care and Development 

Fund (CCDF) expenditures. Authority to 

collect and report this information is 

found in section 658G of the Child Care 

and Development Block Grant Act of 

1990, as revised. In addition to the 

Program Reporting Requirements set 

forth in 45 CFR part 98, Subpart H, the 

regulations at 45 CFR 98.65(g) and 

98.67(c)(1) authorize the Secretary to 

require financial reports as necessary. 

The form provides specific data 

regarding claims and provides a 

mechanism for States to request Child 

Care grant awards and to certify the 

availability of State matching funds. 

Failure to collect this data would 

seriously compromise ACF’s ability to 

monitor Child Care and Development 

Fund expenditures. This information is 

also used to estimate outlays and may 

be used to prepare ACF budget 

submissions to Congress. 

The American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, (Pub. 

L. 111–5) provides an additional $2 

billion for the Child Care and 

Development Fund to help States, 

Territories, and Tribes provide child 

care assistance to low income working 

families. CCDF Program Instruction 

(CCDF-ACF-PI–2009–03) provided 

guidance on ARRA spending 

requirements. 

Section 1512 of the ARRA legislation 

requires recipients to report quarterly 

spending and performance data on the 

public Web site, ‘‘Recovery.gov.’’ 

Federal agencies are required to collect 

ARRA expenditure data and 

performance data and these data must 

be clearly distinguishable from the 

regular CCDF (non-ARRA) funds. To 

ensure transparency and accountability, 

the ARRA authorizes Federal agencies 

and grantees to track and report 

separately on expenditures from funds 

made available by the stimulus bill. 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) guidance implementing the 

ARRA legislation indicates that agencies 

requiring additional information for 

oversight should rely on existing 

authorities and reflect these 

requirements in their award terms and 

conditions as necessary, following 

existing procedures. Therefore, to 

capture ARRA expenditures, the ACF– 

696 has been modified (by the addition 

of a column) for reporting ARRA 

expenditure data. In addition, a new 

data element will ask States and 

Territories to estimate the number of 

child service months funded with 

ARRA dollars. The collection will not 

duplicate other information. 

Respondents: States and Territories.
