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

Proposed Project: Minority AIDS Initiative--Survey of Grantee Project 
Directors--NEW

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting approval to

[[Page 69838]]

conduct online surveys of grantee Project Directors. This is a new 
project request targeting the collection of primary, organizational-
level data through an online survey with grantee Project Directors. The 
grantee programs that will be involved are focused on integrating HIV 
and Hepatitis primary care, substance abuse, and behavioral health 
services and include: (1) TI-12-007 Targeted Capacity Expansion HIV 
Program: Substance Abuse Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority 
Populations at High-Risk for HIV/AIDS (TCE-HIV) grantees; (2) TI-14-013 
Minority AIDS Initiative--Continuum of Care (MAI-CoC) grantees; (3) TI-
13-011 Targeted Capacity Expansion HIV Program: Substance Abuse 
Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority Women at High Risk for HIV/AIDS 
(TCE-HIV: Minority Women) grantees; and (4) TI-15-006 Targeted Capacity 
Expansion: Substance Use Disorder Treatment for Racial/Ethnic Minority 
Populations at High-Risk for HIV/AIDS (TCE-HIV: High Risk Populations) 
grantees.
    The goals of the grantee programs are to integrate behavioral 
health treatment, prevention, and HIV medical care services for racial/
ethnic minority populations at high risk for behavioral health 
disorders and at high risk for or living with HIV. The grantee programs 
serve many different populations including African American, Hispanic/
Latina and other racial/ethnic minorities, young men who have sex with 
men (YMSM), men who have sex with men (MSM) and bisexual men, adult 
heterosexual women and men, transgender persons, and people with 
substance use disorder. Project Director Surveys conducted with 
grantees are an integral part of evaluation efforts to: (1) Assess the 
impact of the SAMHSA-funded HIV programs in: Reducing behavioral health 
disorders and HIV infections; increasing access to substance use 
disorder (SUD) and mental disorder treatment and care; improving 
behavioral and mental health outcomes; and reducing HIV-related 
disparities in four specific grant programs; (2) Describe the different 
integrated behavioral health and medical program models; and (3) 
Determine which program types or models are most effective in improving 
behavioral health and clinical outcomes. SAMHSA will request one web-
based survey to be completed by each of the 152 grantee Project 
Directors. Project Directors may request assistance from another 
project administrator to help them complete the survey. The web-based 
survey will be conducted once for grantees in each grant program, in 
the grantee organization's final year of TCE-HIV (TI-12-007, TI-13-011, 
TI-15-006) or MAI CoC (TI-14-013) funding, with an annual average of 50 
grantees/100 respondents per year. Project Directors will provide 
information on their program's integration of HIV and Hepatitis medical 
and primary care into behavioral health services and project 
implementation. While participating in the evaluation is a condition of 
the grantees' funding, participating in the survey process is 
voluntary. The questionnaire is designed to collect information about: 
Grantee organizational structure, outreach and engagement, services 
provided through the grant-funded project, coordination of care, 
behavioral health/medical care integration, funding and project 
sustainability, staffing and staff development.
    The table below is the annualized burden hours:
