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

Project: Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration Program (OMB 
No. 0930-0340)--Revision

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's 
(SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services, (CMHS) is requesting a 
revision from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for data 
collection activities associated with their Primary and Behavioral 
Health Care Integration (PBHCI) Program. Specifically, SAMHSA is 
requesting approval to only collect information on grantee quarterly 
reports.
    The purpose of the PBHCI grant program is to improve the overall 
wellness and physical health status of people with serious mental 
illnesses (SMI), including individuals with co-occurring substance use 
disorders, by supporting communities to coordinate and integrate 
primary care services into publicly-funded community mental health and 
other community-based behavioral health settings. The program's goal is 
to improve the physical health status of adults with serious mental 
illnesses (and those with co-occurring substance use disorders) who 
have or are at risk for co-occurring primary care conditions and 
chronic diseases. The program's objective is to support the triple aim 
of improving the health of those with SMI; enhancing the client's 
experience of care (including quality, access, and reliability); and 
reducing/controlling the per capita cost of care.
    New questions added to the quarterly report will include 
information on the selected evidence based practices (EBPs) for 
nutrition and tobacco cessation (including the number of participants 
and their outcomes), identifying the selected blood pressure treatment 
protocol (one of four recommended by the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention), and updating the chart on the identified sub-
population(s) on physical health indicators in the disparities impact 
statement section of the quarterly report.
    This information collection is needed to provide SAMHSA with 
sufficient information to monitor grantee performance and to assess 
whether integrated primary care services produce improvements in the 
physical health of the SMI population receiving services from 
community-based behavioral health agencies.
    Collection of the information included in this request is 
authorized by Section 505 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 
290aa-4)--Data Collection. Authorization for the PBHCI program is 
provided under Section 5604 of H.R. 3590, the Affordable Care Act 
(ACA), which authorizes SAMHSA to provide awards for the co-location of 
primary and specialty care in community-based mental health settings.
    The table below reflects the annualized hourly burden.
