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) 276-0166.
Project: Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Client/Participant Outcomes Measure-(OMB No. 0930-0208)-Revision
SAMHSA is requesting approval for a revision of the CSAT Client-level GPRA instrument to continue the collection of performance and program monitoring data of its substance use services grant programs. Currently, the information collected from this instrument is entered and stored in SAMHSA's Performance Accountability and Reporting System (SPARS). SPARS is a real-time, performance management system that captures information on the substance use services and mental health services delivered through SAMHSA's grant programs across the United States. Continued approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue to meet Government Performance and Results Modernization Act of 2010 reporting requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its discretionary grant programs, which are consistent with OMB guidance.
SAMHSA will use the data for annual performance reporting required by GPRA and comparing baseline with discharge and follow-up data. The additional information collected through this process will allow SAMHSA to: (1) report results of these performance outcomes; (2) maintain consistency with SAMHSA-specific performance domains, and (3) assess the performance of its discretionary and formula grant programs.
Currently, there are 379,037 total burden hours in the OMB-approved CSAT Client-level GPRA instrument. SAMHSA is now requesting an increase to 631,682 burden hours. The increase of 252,645 burden hours is due to the following:
[top] • Additional time allocated for interviews, but also improved estimates
• Additional time allocated for administrative collection of data by grantees, including the information that is collected for all clients regardless of whether they completed the client-portion of the interview or not.
The estimated time to complete the baseline, follow-up, and discharge interviews is 45 (0.75) minutes each. This includes the completion of the administrative sections of the tool for all clients including those who decline an interview. The estimated time to complete the SBIRT program-specific measures was increased from 12 (0.2) minutes to 15 minutes (0.25).
