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: SAMHSA Checklist for SF-5161 (OMB No. 0930-0367)--
REVISION

    The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 
(SAMHSA) is requesting a revision from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for the SF-5161-Checklist. SAMHSA is requesting approval 
to only collect information on the Checklist and not the Narrative. The 
Checklist assists applicants and recipients to ensure that they have 
included all required information necessary to process new and 
continuation applications as well as the name, title, and phone number 
of the current business official and project director responsible for 
carrying out the project. Checklist information concerning the type of 
application is also needed since new, competing continuation; 
noncompeting continuation and supplemental applications are separated 
and reviewed differently. The checklist data helps to reduce the time 
required to process and review grant applications, expediting the 
issuance of grant awards as well as ensure collection of essential 
recipient contact information that is not collected elsewhere.
    This data collection has been transferred from HHS to SAMHSA.
    The checklist is part of the standard application (SF-5161) for 
State and local governments and for private non-profit and for-profit 
organizations when applying for health services projects. Below is the 
burden table.
