Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
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: Services Accountability Improvement System--(OMB No. 
0930-0208)--Revision

    The Services Accountability Improvement System (SAIS) is a real-
time, performance management system that captures information on the 
substance abuse treatment and mental health services delivered in the 
United States. A wide range of client and program information is 
captured through SAIS for approximately 650 grantees. Continued 
approval of this information collection will allow SAMHSA to continue 
to meet Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) reporting 
requirements that quantify the effects and accomplishments of its 
discretionary grant programs which are consistent with OMB guidance.
    Based on current funding and planned fiscal year 2015 notice of 
funding announcements (NOFA), the CSAT programs that will use these 
measures in fiscal years 2015 through 2017 include: Access to Recovery 
3 (ATR3); Adult Treatment Court Collaboratives (ATCC); Enhancing Adult 
Drug Court Services, Coordination and Treatment (EADCS); Offender 
Reentry Program (ORP); Treatment Drug Court (TDC); Office of Juvenile 
Justice and Delinquency Prevention--Juvenile Drug Courts (OJJDP-JDC); 
Teen Court Program (TCP); HIV/AIDS Outreach Program; Targeted Capacity 
Expansion Program for Substance Abuse Treatment and HIV/AIDS Services 
(TCE-HIV); Addictions Treatment for the Homeless (AT-HM); Cooperative 
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals (CABHI); Cooperative 
Agreements to Benefit Homeless Individuals--States (CABHI-States); 
Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC); Targeted Capacity Expansion--
Peer to Peer (TCE-PTP); Pregnant and Postpartum Women (PPW); Screening, 
Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT); Targeted Capacity 
Expansion (TCE); Targeted Capacity Expansion--Health Information 
Technology (TCE-HIT); Targeted Capacity Expansion Technology Assisted 
Care (TCE-TAC); Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTC); 
International Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (I-ATTC); State 
Adolescent Treatment Enhancement and Dissemination (SAT-ED); Grants to 
Expand Substance Abuse Treatment Capacity in Adult Tribal Healing to 
Wellness Courts and Juvenile Drug Courts; and Grants for the Benefit of 
Homeless Individuals--Services in Supportive Housing (GBHI). Grantees 
in the Adult Treatment Court Collaborative program (ATCC) will also 
provide program-level data using the CSAT Aggregate Instrument.
    SAMHSA and its Centers will use the data for annual reporting 
required by GPRA and for National Outcome Measures (NOMs) comparing 
baseline with discharge and follow-up data. GPRA requires that SAMHSA's 
report for each fiscal year include actual results of performance 
monitoring for the three preceding fiscal years. The additional 
information collected through this process will allow SAMHSA to report 
on the results of these performance outcomes as well as be consistent 
with the specific performance domains that SAMHSA is implementing as 
the NOMs, to assess the accountability and performance of its 
discretionary and formula grant programs.
    Note that there are no changes to the instrument from the previous 
OMB submission.
