[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 44 (Wednesday, March 8, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 12981-12982] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-04490] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 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) 276-1243. Project: SAMHSA SOAR Web-Based Data Form (OMB No. 0930-0329)--REVISION In 2009 the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services created a Technical Assistance Center to assist in the implementation of the SSI/SSDI Outreach Access and Recovery (SOAR) effort in all states. The primary objective of SOAR is to improve the allowance rate for Social Security Administration (SSA) disability benefits for people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and who have serious mental illnesses. During the SOAR training, the importance of keeping track of SSI/ SSDI applications through the process is stressed. In response to requests from states implementing SOAR, the Technical Assistance Center under SAMHSA's direction developed a web-based data form that case managers can use to track the progress of submitted applications, including decisions received from SSA either on initial application or on appeal. This password-protected web-based data form is hosted on the SOAR Web site (https://soartrack.prainc.com). Use of this form is completely voluntary. In addition, data from Part I of the web-based form can be compiled into reports on decision results and the use of SOAR core components, such as the SSA-1696 Appointment of Representative, which allows SSA to communicate directly with the case manager assisting with the application. These reports will be reviewed by agency directors, SOAR state-level leads, and the national SOAR Technical Assistance Center to quantify the success of the effort overall and to identify areas where additional technical assistance is needed. There are no proposed changes to Part I of this form. The proposed additions to create a new Part II of this form include qualitative (open-ended) questions on annual SOAR accomplishments, identified challenges and collaborations. There are 8 new questions that represent new initiatives, challenges, funding sources, steering committees and training. There is also an additional open-ended question on collaborations with 8 potentially applicable areas (e.g. Veterans, justice-involved persons, hospitals) that could require a response. The addition of Part II is for annual reporting by state and local leads only. The estimated response burden is as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Responses Form name Number of per Total Hours per Total hour Hourly Total hour respondents respondent responses response burden wage cost cost ($) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SOAR Data Form (Part I)....................................... 700 3 2,100 .25 525 $20 $10,500 Annual Report Questions (Part II)............................. 75 1 75 1 37.50 20 750 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 775 ........... 2,175 ........... 562.50 .......... 11,250 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 12982]] Written comments and recommendations concerning the proposed information collection should be sent by April 7, 2017 to the SAMHSA Desk Officer at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
