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 Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.

Project: Performance Monitoring for Partnerships for Success (PFS)-NEW

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)'s Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) aims to address two of SAMHSA's top substance abuse prevention priorities: Underage drinking (UAD; age 12 to 20) and prescription drug misuse and abuse (PDM; age 12 to 25) through the Strategic Prevention Framework Partnerships For Success (SPF-PFS) program. The program is scheduled through September 2018 to systematically collect and maintain community sub-recipient information, quarterly progress reports (QPR) and outcomes data submitted by the PFS grantees through the online Program for Evaluation in Prevention Contract (PEP-C) Management Reporting Tool (MRT). This data collection will place a new emphasis on the SPF-PFS impact on outcomes related to Prescription Drug Misuse, including the prevalence of prescription drug misuse and related consequences such as prescription drug poisonings and overdoses. SAMHSA is requesting approval for data collection through the PEP-C MRT using the instruments listed below:

• Contact Information: This instrument includes sections for Grantee Information, Grantee Staff, Sub-State Information, Community Subrecipient information, and Subrecipient Staff

• QPR: This instrument will gather data related to implementation of the SPF-PFS grant based on the SPF steps (Assessment, Capacity, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation).

• Outcome Data: this instrument includes 4 separate sub-instruments that grantees will complete in varying time frames dependent on requirements.

a. Grantee Target Outcome Data

b. PFS Selected Grantee-Level Outcome Data

c. Community-Level Outcome Data for Subrecipients

d. Substitute Data Source Request

These SPF-PFS performance monitoring measures will primarily be tools for SAMHSA project officers to systematically collect data to monitor grant program performance and outcomes along with grantee technical assistance needs. In addition to assessing activities related to and progress through the SPF steps, the performance monitoring instruments covered in this statement collect data to assess the following grantee required specific performance measures:

• Number of training and technical assistance activities per funded community provided by the grantee to support communities;

• Reach of training and technical assistance activities (numbers served) provided by the grantee;

• Percentage of subrecipient communities that submit data to the grantee data system.

The instruments also collect data to provide information for the following PFS required Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measure:
