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 at (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: SAMHSA Transformation Accountability (TRAC) Data 
Collection Instrument (OMB No. 093-0285)--Revised

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is proposing to 
modify one of its current Transformation Accountability (TRAC) system 
data collection tools to include previously piloted recovery measures. 
Specifically, this revision entails the incorporation of twelve 
recovery measures into the current CMHS NOMs Adult Client-level 
Measures for Discretionary Programs Providing Direct Services data 
collection tool. As part of its strategic initiative to support 
recovery from mental health and substance use disorders, SAMHSA has 
been working to develop a standard measure of recovery that can be used 
as part of its grantee performance reporting activities.
    This revision will add eight questions from the World Health 
Organization's (WHO) Quality of Life (QOL) to SAMHSA's existing set of 
Government

[[Page 69839]]

Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures along with four additional 
measures that support the WHO QOL-8. Data will be collected at two time 
points--at client intake and at six months post-intake. These are two 
points in time during which SAMHSA grantees routinely collect data on 
the individuals participating in their programs.
    The WHO QOL-8 will assess the following domains using the items 
listed below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The revision also includes the following recovery-related 
performance measures:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Question  number                           Item
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                               emotional problems? (This question will
                               be placed in the instrument following the
                               K6 questions for proper sequence).

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Approval of these items by the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) will allow SAMHSA to further refine the Recovery Measure 
developed for this project. It will also help determine whether the 
Recovery Measure is added to SAMHSA's set of required performance 
measurement tools designed to aid in tracking recovery among clients 
receiving services from the Agency's funded programs.
